"The little terminal on it says it's abysmally impure!"
.VES_EMER7
Greetings.
Ah? Hi. Who are you? Are you the unidentified robot?!
No, no! Shh. Listen to me. I don't know what you've been told, but here's what's going on. That ship over there, the one beside yours, is the safest place on this planet right now. There are recharge stations with purity levels higher than you could imagine. The temperature is regulated and there are tons of packets for us. No sandstorms in there.
No, hold on, wait! That ship attacked ours!
Like I said, I don't know what you've been told, but I'll tell you right now that is a flat-out lie. Come with me, I'll show you. There's nothing to worry about!
I don't know about this... .VES_EMER8
Well, what if I told you that the recharge station on that ship is alien technology. 100% purity. You could live forever. There are already two other bots from that group in there, reaping the goodies that ship has to offer.
I... well, I guess I could take a look.
That's the spirit! If you want to go back, you can leave at any time if you really want to.
Okay, then. .VES_EMER9
Where are the others?
Just up in this room here.
[AUDIO: SCREAMING] W-w-what's going on? They're..! No, no, I want out! Let me out! Let me out! .MSE_ORIG3
Thanks for bearing with me, guys. You've all been doing a great job out here. Let's get you counted up again. [AUDIO: UNINTELLIGIBLE MURMURS]
70... [AUDIO: EXASPERATED SIGH]
Okay. We're going to form a new work system. When we're out there working, especially when going near the MSE vessel, I want you in groups of no less than five. Three people have gone missing so far, and I'm not about to let that continue.
When the sun rises, I want four work groups to take a break from building and form a search team for the missing robots. I'll be going along with you. Unless we find the missing machines before nightfall tomorrow, we'll search for all 6 hours before calling it off. They couldn't have gone far...

You World

You waited for the page to load, then began reading the synopsis with maximum concentration.
