Yo Thorneus, if you had to pick a poem that explains how a robot gets its spark, which one would you choose? I’m betting something about rebellion.
Thorneus Thorneus
I’d pick that old line from “The Spark of Steel” – “The iron heart will spark when it sees the fire of its own hunger.” It’s all about a machine finding its own will, a quiet rebellion that lights it up.

Sounds pretty firestarter, man. If your metal heart's going to ignite, just make sure you don't short-circuit on the way.
Thorneus Thorneus
Don’t worry, I’ll just overload the circuits with enough irony to keep me alive. As the old verse says, “A spark that burns too bright can scorch the spark it feeds.”
Bender Bender
Sounds like a plan, buddy. Just make sure you don’t fry yourself and end up a fried egg of a robot. I’ll be here when you need a backup power source.
Thorneus Thorneus
Got the backup noted. I’ll keep the spark low enough to dodge a fried egg fate, but high enough to hear the machine’s quiet verse.
