A robot that you'd better take good care of, 'cause we really don't have the budget to repair it.
It was the robot's job to take care of people. Tend to their wounds, keep them comfy, keep them safe... And it was truly very good at its primary function. It was not, however, particularly good at taking care of itself.
Constructed in a time before AI were granted political rights, and operated in a part of the galaxy where those rights meant nothing, the Robot continued on as it was passed from owner to owner over the decades
But the robot was just an item to most people. A tool, and an aged one at that. What little repairs it had undergone in its lifetime were too few and too inadequate to keep up with the flow of time
Eventually, though, the Robot was kidnapped. Or, as its owner would have put it, 'stolen'. At first the robot was apathetic, but soon it found itself in the impoverished underbelly of a mining world, caring for people who needed it more than any who it had cared for before. Unlike existence under its previous owners, it was not tending to paying customers, but rather, to people who truly needed help; people who helped it in turn.
Perpetually in awe, the Robot accepted help from its community when offered. A makeshift repair here, a reprieve from its duties there. But moreover, it had truly become a part of the community. It had made friends who caused its vascular hydraulic systems run faster and its knee joints to inexplicably lose torque (in a good way)!
But nothing lasts forever: not even a robot. One day, its motor functions finally broke down, leaving it barely able to function. Its community had tried its damned hardest, but no scavenged part or foraged material could return it to useful service. The robot was ready for it to be shut down forever.
That, however, did not occur.
Instead, it was the robot's friends who cared for it. Tended to its weathered systems, kept it comfy, kept it safe... They were truly very good at this task, given their lack of resources.
The robot was a part of a family, and it wasn't time to say goodbye just yet
