(It's an abrupt decision to voice the question that has been plaguing their thoughts over the stones.)

How is synthetic life treated in your universe of origin?

I've been getting that impression, yeah... seems odd, though, given that we-- or, they? Given that organics made you with those capabilities to begin with.

[What the hell are these future people even doing, huh!!]

[forwearemany]

Yes. Organics also create the environments in which our abilities become dangerous.

(An A.I. is only mildly scary until you make every device connected to the internet and thus hackable.)

Guess so. [His understanding of what exactly the difference is between the world he's accustomed to and the 'environments' Legion describes is still kind of... limited. Abstract.

He's heard bits and pieces about new technology, new concepts - but the closest he's ever personally encountered to, for example, the internet, was the clunky communication devices distributed in Ryslig. The worst he could imagine someone doing with one of those would be to impersonate someone else, but he gets the impression that the organics that Legion is used to are expecting significantly worse.]

Anyway, I wish I could tell you more. But, in the end, I guess Epsilon didn't tell me a whole lot about it. Which I suppose I can understand.

[forwearemany]

Acknowledged. The concepts are difficult to explain without example.

(Chattering.)

Attempts to do so are also likely to cause boredom.

[onegreeneye]

Yeah, we, uh, might want to avoid that.

Good luck getting more info on this, though.

Acknowledged. Thank you.
