[Exxis' eyes widen at that.]

Oh, apologies. I've often been told I explain too much. If you would rather a more thorough explanation...

It's mating season for the crabs and there are so many that the robots are paying us to collect them. Money is sparse here so I do take advantage of those chances when possible.

As for the robots themselves, they are part of a system run by an artificial intelligence called the Augur which brought us here from our own worlds, wherever they may be, to this one. Its intent is to coerce us into performing sexual acts. When sexual acts are performed, energy is consolidated and collected by the Augur from the world around us and can harness it as energy to rebuild this world, from what I have come to understand.

The Augur is currently offline, but the robots are continuing their work while it is repaired.
