they know their final fate is to be decomissioned, when the fighting finally ends on both sides. either rehabilitated or dismantled. the mechs will be recycled. No more bloodshed, no more pointless loss of life.

May we never, ever need such technology ever again. nuclear weapons, weaponized drones, knife missiles. all must be defused and decomissioned. bombs rendered unable to detonate and sealed away. The wounds slowly allowed to heal over the battlegrounds as flowers and grass can once again grow.

The dolls will all smile, on a bright sunny day in a kinder world. Knowing that all will be well, but to remain vigilant.

May we never, ever need them again.
