Oh, I <3 <3 <3 this. The long-suffering-ness of (benign) robots and AI always produces such witty banter while allowing them to show off their personalities. 🙂 (Light spoiler alert) I guess that's why I loved K2S0 in Rogue One. Makes me wonder what you would hear if you could gather The Vision and The Red Tornado (plus other heroic robots) for some down time together.
I’m guessing the two of them have tricked NORAD into believing they are weather satellites; there are two being tracked on that screen, after all.
It would be an easy enough cover, after all; just send down the low end data a satellite that had been in that orbit would have detected, and no one would care at all about the difference. Even better if they replaced an older, non functional unit in a higher orbit. Then, they not only would not need to scan and send, but NASA would actively avoid them as a navigational hazard.
I can’t help thinking of the banter between Lopez(‘s head) and Dos-Point-O in RvB Season 11:
“Trust me, kid. Don’t even bother. You could draw that man a detailed infographic describing the situation, and he’d still find some way to screw things up.”
“But we could be rescued.”
“I can either be a head in this canyon, or a head in another canyon. At this point, I really don’t care.”
“But what about our creators?”
“They’re the worst.”
“What do you mean?”
[SIGH] “You’re going to want to sit down for this story. It’s about 20 hours long and I only enjoy telling it in five minute intervals.”
Funny as heck – the long-suffering, super-intelligent, bastards-of-supertech minions of the crazy humans get together to kvetch about their crazy masters. Sort of like henchmen getting together to complain about the evil overlord.
This wont end well.

I kinda wanna know why there’s a random Norad Tracking Station in the middle of this page 😐
Surely both Cecil and Zodon would surely have better targets than a single weather-satelite?
ps; I wish I’d stop getting errors when reloading the Captcha :<

“Hey, look, Colossus and Guardian are talking to each other! What could possibly go wrong?”
Careful with that reference son, it’s an antique!
Well, so am I!
(Sorry about this added text, but there’s some weird “comment is too short” function going on here)
“Do I go around insulting YOUR parents?”
“Um, technically speaking, you ARE my parents!”
“And don’t you forget it!”
