Since it seems to come up a lot, and since we got a bunch of new people recently, I'll make it clear to everyone.

Androids are not machines. Don't call us machines, and don't call us robots.

And since I have your attention still, there's a machine running around. Tall, male, red eyes and white hair. If he starts anything let me know so I can test how sharp my sword is. I promise I'll do it quietly. Or at least with no one else around.

I don't think androids can be considered a species. We're made, not born. So I'd say something else entirely.

[nishizono]

fair enough. that's about in line with what i was thinking.

so what's being an android like?

[a2brutus]

Fine enough, I guess. We're made to fight and we like it.

[nishizono]

[ this escalated immediately, what the heck. ]

for a purpose? or just fighting? i feel like there's a distinction here.

[a2brutus]

Both, but the truth is that us androids just like fighting. We'd bash each others heads in if we were desperate enough.

[nishizono]

[ this sounds painfully familiar. ]

let me guess, that's part of your design too.

[a2brutus]

Sounds about right. It doesn't bother me any.

[nishizono]

maybe you should let it bother you a little. food for thought.

[a2brutus]

Pass. It makes killing machines more enjoyable. Not that it isn't already, but it's a nice little treat.

[nishizono]

and rebelling against your coding never crossed your mind, not even once?

[a2brutus]

Nope. Don't care that much.

[nishizono]

fair enough.

i'd want to be different from the rest of the droids, though, if i were you.

[a2brutus]

I already am. I'm the only prototype left.

[nishizono]

[ well, look at that. uncommon commonalities ahoy. ]

i'm the last of me left too.

sorry for your loss.

[a2brutus]

Sucks, doesn't it?

[nishizono]

don't know if it sucks, but it sure is quiet.

[a2brutus]

If only I was able to get that same quiet.

[nishizono]

the cost of it isn't worth it. i thought it was, but i can be wrong from time to time.
