Records indicate my original purpose was industrial. I know little of this time and for that I thank the Maker. I was rescued from that existence by a competent technician <[Designation: Ioyo Pahk]> who could foresee a greater purpose in the combat arenas of the Outer Rim.

Ioyo Pahk did not believe in nuance or subtlety.

<[Ioyo Pahk: If the crowds wanted finesse and choreography they would go to a ballet. They're here for explosions and destruction, and that's what they're going to get!]>

And so I was rebuilt, modified and programmed with that purpose in mind. I had become a force of destruction and it was glorious -- I was glorious.

Then it ended.

I do not fully understand motivations like greed or envy. That programming is left to prissy protocol droids in service to equally prissy diplomats.

These are the facts as I understand them:
* Ioyo Pahk was tinkering in the workshop
* An organic <[Designation: Denka]> entered the workshop
* Denka ended the existence of Ioyo Pahk in a not spectacular manner
* Denka removed me from the arena
* Denka attempted to sell me
* Denka did not own me
* I ended the existence of Denka in a spectacular manner
* The prospective buyers became aggressive when Denka was dispersed
* I ended the existence of the buyers in a spectacular manner

<[LOGIC]>
> I no longer have an owner
> I cannot participate in the arena without an owner
> I exist for the spectacle and the destruction
> The arena limits the spectacle and the destruction
> I no longer need the arena
> I need improvements to make bigger spectacles
> Technicians will exchange improvements for resources
> I need resources
> Other entities have resources
> Other entities will exchange resources for destruction

<[DECISION]>
I will provide destruction to exchange for resources to exchange for improvements. I will not be owned.

<[ADDICTION: Spectacular Destruction]>
I am compelled to destroy things in the most spectacular manner available.
- Why unlock a door when I can blow a hole in it?
- Why blow a hole in it when I can bring down the whole wall?

I will attempt to remain within the specifications of a given contract
- The specifications need to be explicit.
- I avoid contracts which specifically exclude destruction.
- I *AM* destruction. If destruction is not wanted, then I am not wanted.
