[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.]

Their own origin. If you wish to speak of it, of course.

[easy way out in case you don't. he seems polite enough, at least, without planning to pry.]

Your people were afraid?

Hm. What would you have done, if you were there when it first started?

You've had a change of heart?

May I ask what brought it on?

I take it you've learned to see things from a different side.

[he nods]

Such empathy, I believe, is a part of what leads a creature or their species in to being termed 'alive'. If one can put aside their beliefs, if only for a moment, and see things through another set of eyes...

Describe them to me?

[...this is vaguely reminding him of the Quintessons.]

To achieve any purpose, or simply because of 'destiny'?

[...]

There was...one species, whom I recall. Felt as though all others had committed grievous crimes against them, and felt it was their duty to judge - and execute - them all.

As for destroying in the name of destiny...

[he shakes his head, a bit, face darkening. he can name one off-hand, but that doesn't mean he /wants/ to.]

That would be something entirely different.
