Just discovered this documentary about NKP 759, with 759 himself doing the narrating!

Oh this is *fantastic*. This is exactly the kind of shit we're here for, what a great find! Thank you!

"I've always been somewhat popular, even in my earliest years!" "I bet I could even run for president." Extremely Gordoncore. A good argument for the idea that in a living engine world, most engines have a tendency towards vanity and self-centeredness, but always a desire to be working and helping people. Something about the tempermentality of the machine and how big and grand they are makes us imagine they must, on some level, understand how beautiful and magnetic they are to us.
