Number Nine NPC chat

Number Nine: Humans?
That does not compute.
Noticiero: Who are you?
Number Nine: That is irrelevant.
Noticiero: What are you doing here?
Number Nine: Yes. That is a relevant question for this entity to ask.
Noticiero: Why do you refer to me as an entity?
Number Nine: That is the way I was programmed.
But your question does not relate to the message I was instructed to deliver.
Noticiero: A message?
Number Nine: Yes, I am here to convey a message to the entities that terminate the miserable life of the Protector.
Noticiero: It would seem to me that you are some sort of machine. How come you refer to this Protector with human feelings?
Number Nine: I was programmed to express human-like feelings.
Noticiero: Why?
Number Nine: To make you feel more comfortable in communicating with me.
I was programmed to minimize the risk of entities terminating the conversation before delivery of necessary data is completed.
Noticiero: You're doing a good job...
Number Nine: That makes me very happy to hear!
Noticiero: Who is the Protector?
Number Nine: The Protector is, or perhaps was, the creature guarding the Source.
Terminating his life would grant you access to this area.
The probability that an unevolved human being would reach me before the year 35433 was extremely small according to my calculations.
Noticiero: So my presence here surprises you?
Number Nine: That would be the way you humans perceive my reaction.
Isn't it joyful the way we communicate and share data?
Since the sound of this machine's voice isn't revealing any emotions, you can't tell if it is being sincere or sarcastic.
Noticiero: It would seem to me that you are some sort of machine. How come you seem to show human feelings?
Number Nine: I was programmed to express human-like feelings.
Noticiero: Why?
Number Nine: To make you feel more comfortable in communicating with me.
I was programmed to minimize the risk of entities terminating the conversation before delivery of necessary data is completed.
Noticiero: You're doing a good job...
Number Nine: That makes me very happy to hear!
Noticiero: What kind of message are you talking about?
Number Nine: Now, it is very important that you answer thruthfully to the following questions.
Did you terminate the Protector, or the Beast as some would call him?
Is his life ended and is the Source, or the bright shining light as it may appear, left without a guardian of some kind?
Noticiero: Yes, the Beast is dead and the Source is left unprotected.
The small droid falls silent. All you can hear is a low frequency hum as its memory units are accessed. Now the droid continues but with a completely different voice. It sounds very...distant. You get the feeling you aren't talking to the droid anymore.
Number Nine: I am sorry to hear about the tragic events leading to your presence here.
You have now passed a point of no return, and every human being on Rubi-Ka will suffer the consequences.
Noticiero: What have I done wrong?
Number Nine: The Protector has fallen. You are forcing their hand, and Rubi-Ka is in danger. For what?
For power..
For money..
For Divinity?
When will you evolve beyond artificial needs and see the truth?
Noticiero: Whose hand am I forcing?
There is a minute of silence before the voice continues.
Number Nine: They are watching, always in tune.
And there is no way of stopping them...
Noticiero: Stopping who?!
The droid hums briefly then replies with its emoitionless voice.
Number Nine: End of message. Please stand by for termination.
