Eggy accidentally fused with a Dimensional Diamond during his sleep, Astras power source IS a Dimensional Diamond

Astra: *slow clap* good for you.

Exotic creator: Listen to me kid, nobody cares about robots. Take Gamma 3 for example, he saved everyone from the glitch with his team but what was he given in return... Exile

Astra: huh, I actually kinda wondered why data doesn't talk about tech support.

*The Exotic creator looked at Astra*
Exotic creator: robot racism exists and it's not being taken care of in any way, just think about it... if you aren't with the collector then you will be beaten, have your circuits thrashed with, and even be rebooted against your will

Astra: *hugs exotic creator*

You've been through a lot. I can tell.

*The Exotic creator feels something it hasn't felt in a long time, comfort. It hugs Astra*

: )

The Traveler: Then there is me who dreams about him
