Trivia:
- As a pole dancer, Hailey has made more money than her husband. She never talked about it with him and kept the money to herself for her daughter's medicine.
- For one and many reasons, she got called a Karen but in reality, she can keep her temper in check. She indeed likes to complain so much but she knows when to stop and calm down.
- The big reason she bickers back and forward with Makori is never because she is mad at him. She just sees herself in him. A person making a big mistake and therefore she trying to get angry at Makori whenever he does wrong.
Helen Bagger
Age: 10
Date of Birth: March 27th
Favorite things: Sweet and her mom
Trivia:
- When Hailey has enough money to buy the medicine for Helen, Helen tries her best to be a good girl and do what her mom wants her to do. But unknowingly, this makes her become a half-robot. While she feels the change, she secretly notes everything that she learns throughout her discovery.
When Helen and Hailey reflect on Helen's discovery, they continue developing a new power, not just a power to examine a robot's status.
- The Spermox inside her body is an early development of Kyle's design. That's why he can't control it himself; instead, Helen's body takes control of the robot.
- Here is what Helen can do so far with her new ability;
1. Power anything on and off.
2. Move a moveable object.
3. Telepathicly transfer her thought into an object.
4. Control a high or low of a device, for example, a flashlight's light or a radio's volume.

- Gerald is one of the strict people in the military. He used to be very scary whenever he was in charge of a group.
- Ever since his arm and leg got torn, he has been reflecting on his actions. He becomes more chill and even becomes more friendly towards others.
- The only person who sometimes makes him lose his cool is Makori. Gerald hates his personality and Gerald always shows it to him, but regardless of what Makori sees in Gerald, Gerald never cares about Makori's feelings, unless it's about attacking the robots.
- Even though he hates Makori, deep down he actually loves some of what Makori has made. One of them is his artificial arm and leg.

1. Pulse Strike; Can be used for scanning place and disable-ator pulse.
2. Equipment Service; She carries a lot of equipment in her body, especially her equipment as a doctor.
3. Transform; She can transform her body into anything she wants as long as it's smaller than her body.
- This character is actually 2 characters combined into one. She wasn't supposed to be really important in the story that I had written back in high school. But to shorten the story, I combine her with another character who works as a doctor.

Place
Sewer
A safe place where higher-up robots can't be.
Nusa Jaya South Eastern Mall
A torn-down mall that Hailey and Helen visited in the first ever chapter.
This mall had completely been run by robots and machines, and surprisingly it's still going well. The business even went up after they took over.
Eight-Twelve
You know what this is ripped off from. Originally I wanted to use a name that was more Indonesian but I couldn't think of a good name because Indonesian has a lot of convenience stores that have names really basic yet creative that I can't even rip off.
Center Hall
To refresh people's memory here are all of the rooms that are available in the Center Hall;
10 armories, 5 changing rooms, 3 utility rooms, 5 bedrooms, a large indoor playground, a dining hall, a machinery room, a security room, 2 giant closets, and a waste incineration room.
District 7's Dam A.K.A Final place of Makori's parent treasure hunt
This place wasn't supposed to be here until chapter 10 of the original story but to shorten it, I speed Makori's discovering his parents' treasure hunting in the latest chapter.
Heck, it wasn't even supposed to be a dam, it was supposed to be just a random place in District 7 after a fight in the district itself.
Miscellaneous
The Hug
You guys might have seen that there are a lot of hug moments. Well, most of the hug moments were only for people who have known each other for a long time. Makori, Leonard, Fillian, Linda, and Collen are the usual people who hug to comfort other people because personally, they treat their friends like their family.
Apperance
If you pay closer attention, I never mentioned the character's appearance or how a place looks. This was intentional because I want people to imagine it themselves. Not only I can give the reader freedom to imagine it themselves but I also don't need to specify every single detail of the characters.
Rules and Laws
These are a very big component of the island's condition. With our society today in the real world that adds new rules and laws, the story can be stirred in a different direction.
Daily's activities
People probably asking how these people wash their bodies or eat their food.
Well, for bathing, Makori has made a machine inside utility rooms that not only clean their body but also cleans their clothes without taking them off.
For food, people usually eat canned food that Makori always gets in his lab. The canned food from Makori's lab is food that he produced himself artificially. Without people knowing it, they consume non-food but it still gives them nutrition like a normal food provides.
For normal food, Fillian or Taki usually gets it from the upper ground and then they give it to Leonard so he can cook it. Normal food is always served on special occasions only.
