Also, I have to post this now.

Space...
A boy has the right to dream. There are endless possibilities stretched out before him.
You have to trust in your own power. Whatever happens from now on, you stand firm and face your destiny without fear, but with courage.
What awaits him down the path, he will then have to choose.
No one's gonna give you a map. You've gotta walk your own path.
Children leave their homes in search of this quest.
What is thy desire?
As they search, they are always asking questions; What's out there? What's waiting for me?
Why was I made? Who made me? And what did they make me for?
"Are you gonna go up into space with your old man or not?" ....maybe I'll never get over this.
I've lived my life following my dreams, and I don't have any regrets.
You just gonna keep running away?
Just keep running away? .............I'm not running.
8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0.
Believe in yourself. And create your own destiny. Don't fear failure.

"So what are we doing here?"
"We're creating a unit that will bring happiness to others."
"One unit? How?"
"It will have a programming module... 'Toonami.' All goes well, it should function perfectly."
"What's it called?"
"Toonami Operations Module. TOM, for short."
"What about a backup? It should have a network/database system to work in concert."
"Already there. It'll be called 'Sara.'"
"Alright. So where will they be operating from?"
"A ship we've commissioned. The Absolution."
"Nice name. So these two, aboard the Absolution, will carry out a program that will bring 'happiness' to people?"
"Correct."
"What happens when the program becomes obsolete?"
"Same thing that happens with any program. We shut it down."
"I'm not sure... something that functions like this, people could get attached to it... Do you really want to take that away?"
He finishes fastening the large head to the short, bulbous body. He grimaces at the blue visor, reflecting his visage. "Well... It's just a robot. It's not as though anyone would care." And so, after flicking off the lights, he exits with the other man, leaving TOM1 in the darkness.
"It's been a while, TOM."
"That it has, Sarah."
"I can only assume your return to The Absolution means that we are finished."
"Yep. Toonami's over."
Silence, save the hum of the machines in the background.
"So what does that mean for us?" TOM did not reply at first. Instead, he walked slowly to a large switch, wearing a frown. "TOM?"
"You already know," he said, clutching the switch.
"Yes," she said, a tinge of finality on her mechanical yet soothing voice, "I do."
"Stay gold, Sarah."
"You too, TOM. I think... I will miss you," she said.
"No," said TOM, sighing sorrowfully, pulling the switch. "You won't."
Sarah's hologram flickered for a few seconds before fading. The machines around TOM died out too. The Absolution was absolutely silent. The only light left in the room emanated from a single red button across from the switch TOM had just pulled.
Even slower this time, he somberly ambled to the switch. He scanned his memory banks for any file relating to Toonami, feeling one last rush of nostalgia. Finally, after what seemed like an all too short eternity, he arrived at the button, reading the label above it.
TOM Final Killswitch.
TOM, hand shaking, rested a single finger on the button. Sighing once more, he whispered...
"Bang."
