[ To her 'automaton' is far too vague of a term, so Samus finds it's more prudent to try and define it.

She makes a gesture with her hands, starts, stops. She's realizing it's a lot more difficult to explain when it's such an mundane thing where she's from. First arriving on this planet, it was easy to realize how much technology she's taken for granted... but speaking with Viktor grounds that into a more personal reality, especially when he—out anyone here that's she's interactive with so far—would come the closest to understanding.

She tries again, trying to think of a more physical analog.

Imagine a... library that can hold an incredible amount of knowledge in a small size, analyze data, communicate with other automated library systems over vast distances—form a network. It can perform complex calculations, automate repetitive tasks. A mechanical brain without a consciousness or conscience. That's a computer.

Does that make sense?
