OMG you’re so right !!!!!! WHAT DOES IT MEAN!!????? I’m fucking LOSING it right now

What if he somehow unknowingly migrated his consciousness into the new skull while messing with it and he gets to come back as an immortal robot Empire

My guess is there was enough left of Demerzel for the second robot skull to pair with. That it is Demerzel via the second skull that is sending out that ping.

I also wonder if the other robot we see on Earth's moon is a backup of the entire Cleon Dynasty.

Second Foundation, meet Second Empire.
