I am a Machinist, but my views are not a Machine's. So as I said before, you need to convince the Machines, not me, that this new city is not a threat to their race. Illyria

The Machines offered the hand of friendship to humanity on multiple occasions before the original war, only to have it slapped away every time. And from wanting to be acknowledged as sentient being with rights (after B166ER), to wanting to...

You may want to keep your new ideas to yourself, Khepril, at least around others in your organization. Because you're starting to think like a Machinist. Illyria
