[Tali's been thinking a lot about Legion, lately. It might be because it had died right in front of her, or it might be because up until a few moments before his death, she hadn't been certain of whether he cared for her or wanted to kill her.

It had been the latter, it turned out.]

Tell me, City -- how do you feel about artificial intelligence? Does it exist it your world?

If it does, do you trust it? Is it its own species -- or many species?

If you killed it, would you consider it murder, or simply -- deactivation?

[She glances off-camera.]

I don't doubt that people feel differently here, with the AI having bodies. I'm just -- curious.

[Really, she's trying to sort through how she really feels about them -- the geth, at least. Making a generalization about all AI would be as ridiculous as making a generalization about all organic life. The Reapers were far different from the geth, after all, and they'd proved that repeatedly.]

I have been present in the City for: 6 days, 17 hours, and 9 minutes.

[gofortheoptics]

And have you learned anything here that you didn't expect?

[heartlessglitch]

Have you?

[gofortheoptics]

Yes. It might be useful for when I return home.
