Yeah. Everything. [ Simon senses the unasked question, because it is seemingly an obvious inconsistency. ]
Everybody who survived it was living in a research complex at the bottom of the ocean. A bunch of scientists and their helper robots.
[ ...again, he notices something that could be taken the wrong way, knowing he at least looks closer to the “machines” of the androids’ world than... well, them. ] I wasn’t one of them, I was uploaded into this body by an AI. The “virus”. It hijacked everything in the stations. People, robots... even the wildlife.
[ Whatever tone most people would expect a person to take when discussing a disaster that destroyed their whole planet and, by extension, everyone on it is absent in his voice, but neither of them are exactly having Open Emotional Responses right now while they contemplate mercy-killings and the apocalypse. Maybe A2, a little, because her slumped gestures of sadness have come off as unusually honest for her, even if he’s only run into her a few times.
Still, the apocalypse he wasn’t around to witness, sequestered at the bottom of the sea surrounded by absolutely nothing familiar — it feels almost like a ghoulish, dangerous exhibit he had to walk through, not the remains of his home. ]
