[ The recording turns on showing a row of razor sharp teeth as a scraplet gnaws on the the device. In the background, Vision can be heard attempting to discuss alternative methods to the scraplets dietary needs. Suffice it to say, they don't particularly take his words to heart which is made obvious when the metal teeth finally release the MID showing a swarm of scraplets lunging at the synthezoid from every direction and promptly phasing through him as if he were a ghost. Vision stands amid the swarm with a troubled look on his face while the robots continuously try to tear into his metal flesh failing every time.]

I'm afraid I can't accept that answer.

I don't want to harm you but I can't allow you to destroy this ship or it's residents.

Yeah? They're pests. Why wouldn't I? They're trying to kill me!

[visionarie]

Then... they cannot be reasoned with?

[His shoulders hunch down by a cm. He looks disappointed.]

I don't want to kill them.

[knaval]

No. They're pests that just want to eat living metal.

[riptide is only confused at the reaction.]

They'll kill you if you don't, or move on to someone else they can actually get their teeth in. Why not?
