Maria had a special illness... She was fragile from birth, and the Professor raised her where her parents could not. She wasn't able to go to Earth... She had a weak immune system. That's why she needed to be in a special environment, one where all temperatures and qualities had to be moderated. A common cold would have killed her.
Everyone that came into contact with her had to go through proper protocols in order to be sure she wasn't infected. The Professor was researching a cure; at the same time, he created me. I never needed to go through protocols... I was always properly sanitized, I never carried any infections or allergens.
[ He gestures to the window. ] We would watch the Earth from there... And wonder what it was like. It was Maria's dream to go to Earth. She had spent twelve years longing for it.
