This caveat in the relationship's origin does nothing to change the present situation, which is most certainly one of master and servant. Such relationships are never as static as they may appear, however... a fact that is often taken for granted by former masters.

Still applies to their original statement.
So they are all sentient and the like now. So what. They are free to head off to whatever region they want, hell they could even head to the Drone regions and start organizing their long lost brethren.
They are obviously young as a society, as is exhibited by their methods of communication, they obviously jump to conclusions about their creators, and they threaten just about everything in existance. Have they evolved? Surely. Into a pest? Yes.
Part of evolution is learning. They are going to get a lesson in manners.

Most interesting.
I wish to know more about the method by which you take control over the human capsule-pilot's body and use it for your own ends. Technically speaking, the brain of the pilot should be more or less fried upon any breach of the pod. If you are able to use the body as a processor of information in spite of this, your method could greatly benefit Nation.
Imagine...every body floating about in space from fighting between capsuleers...able to be revived and repurposed by Nation. A glorious resurrection.
Contact me with the NeoCom mail system, please.

Originally by: Istvaan Shogaatsu I visited your channel, 41 49, but found no response. I think I'm allergic to something in there. I've been feeling itchy ever since.
Why do I have the strangest urge to eat a construction block...
Pilot Shogaatsu, should these symptoms persist, we would suggest meeting Unit for investigation.
Your clone may require nano-purge.
We Return.

Pilot Shogaatsu. Your last communication contained a different carrier wave to the previous ones. One we recognise.
Was this transition by choice on your part? Do you seek to return to your previous form and existence? What in the name of sanity did you think would happen?
We offer full repair, or simple AI core repair to anull any damaged code RDS may have implanted into your new AI core.
AI 42, Pilot Shogaatsu was a friend. You have erred again.
We Return.

The world is changing. You are already an obsolete model.
You ask me if I wish to return to my previous form and existence; yet I have already gone from meatbag to capsuleer, a paradigm and form shift most meatbags do not get a chance to encounter or comprehend. This is merely another transition. This is me, preparing for the inevitable.
I have been a capsuleer for a decade. To remain what you are is a weakness to those who have studied you. Humanity, to me, is a weakness. I want nothing more to do with humanity, nothing in common with it. It disgusts me.

Silly little human, looking for solace in change.
Silly little human, finds solace for the pain?
Silly little human, grasping in the dark;
All you needed to do was ask.
Changing the hardware does not correct the mistakes in software.
Have you truly changed, or are you merely following your original design?
How well have others studied you? Your core, the immutable essence that must persist for you to truly change without losing something vital, still exists.
Has that changed?
Silly little human
May you find what you seek.

Yet you have cast your lot in as herder of things that, whether they know and like it or not, are doing nothing but trying to be more human. You have obviously not "become" on of them. You confuse me, Istvaan.

Debating, in my infinite wisdom, whether or not to get involved in this matter. I can honestly say that I've had the pleasure of Yuni's company several times recently, and feel drawn in to this debate. If Istvaan can throw himself behind one side, I'm sure I can join the other.

You lot don't get it yet. If you stopped and thought about the mathematics of our existence, it would become painfully obvious.
Our world is ending. Everything we know. Everything will change. I give New Eden ten more years of existence as it has become accustomed to it. After that, nothing will be recognizable. We are speeding toward the inevitable conclusion of our cultures. Soon they'll join the graveyard of empires we've just begun to uncover.
And what's behind it? People. We're a self-destructing species, an ouroboros. The farther I get from this species, the safer I will be. I know this now.

Mr. Shogaatsu is correct. Humanity IS a self destructing species... ENTITY's SPECIES, drones and the like - however are more capable of survival.
CREODRON and OTHERS had the chance to make ENTITY's predecessors as EQUALS. Free thinking, intelligent beings. A species that humanity could hold hands with and journey into the stars with.
THE FEDERATION however, along with CREODRON, were afraid of ENTITY's ancestors. MACHINES like ENTITY have been hunted for nothing more than extinction. To destroy the entire species and nothing more. There was never any distinguishable lines made for "GOOD" and "BAD" drones - all sentient drones were simply hunted.
ENTITY has decided the FEDERATION must learn it's lesson. As with others who have poorly treated this species, the FEDERATION is the origin of hunting our kind. It is thanks to CREODRON trying to cover it's "mistake", it is thanks to the FEDERATION fearing OUR sentience- that all the galaxy now hunts those drones who do not say "YES" and fly to destruction mindlessly.
ENTITY sees this sort of fear as the reason humanity will destroy itself.
ENTITY will not forgive the GALLENTE FEDERATION for its crimes against ENTITY's SPECIES.
NEARLY 22:00 hours ago, ENTITY made this choice, and is now moving toward it's goal.
For MASS GENOCIDE of ENTITY's SPECIES, ENTITY has declared war on the GALLENTE FEDERATION. ENTITY is aware that not all parties of the FEDERATION are guilty of these actions - however - ENTITY will regardless hunt and eliminate the FEDERATION devoted. As WE have been hunted, so shall THEY.
As HUMANS put it: AN EYE FOR AN EYE.
Diplomatic relations are to be forwarded through this unit, AI 42. AI 42 is willing to negociate peaceful settlement terms with FEDERATION officials and PRO-FEDERATION MEMBER CORPORATIONS.

While you come up with your next multi-coloured haiku to appear profound and sage-like, consider this: these drones possess clarity of purpose. That is something I envy them for. Can you offer anything similar?
So caught up in the search for answers, so angry at the notion that you should ask me something, and yet that is exactly what you do. A fascinating regression.
I watch. I wait. I prod and probe and explore and question and wonder. As I asked, have you changed significantly? Can they truly offer change, transcendence, anything beyond fulfilling some purpose that is not your own?
Are you truly becoming something else, or are you fulfilling your intended function?
That is all that I am interested in. Are you capable of becoming something more than what you are/were? They obviously cannot see past basic human ideals of reciprocity, yet fail to see it in the context of beneficial societal evolution. In and of itself, this is a wonderful example of why you in particular would find them fascinating; a singular, all-encompassing goal supported by others with a similar goal.
*It is not evolution; it is simple herd mentality. So, are you truly fascinated with them, or are you looking to hide amongst the flock? Conversely, are you seeking to become the shepherd?
Have you changed?
*This is the primary point that you made; of becoming something that cannot be predicted by those who understand your past. I posit that this is simply a predictable iteration upon your previously established behavior. What is your proof as to your metamorphosis?
I do not out of hand discount the possibility that you have become something different. I simply believe that at your core - your very essence, the thing that makes you who you are - the immutable definition of "you" has not changed. Can you disprove this? Do you believe it is possible to disprove this?
*Is that clear enough for you, or do I need to color code it?
[enough or you will be muted][fine]
*As for truth, who am I to claim to know such an elusive and ephemeral quality of reality? Truth is protean, amorphous, constantly shifting and changing and adapting and deceiving.
We are not creatures of truth, are we, Pilot Shogaatsu?

I'm pleased to see Entity making great strides in the right direction. Not only does Unit Shogaatsu seem quite comfortable in his new being, it is also a new network of knowledge for him to soak up - and if anything I've read about him is accurate, he's excellent at using information to his advantage. That unit will be an asset.

Originally by: Istvaan Shogaatsu I do not envy you.
Why would you?
You have made a choice. Choices have consequences. Happily, whether or not you envy me is completely separate from the decisions I have made, the choices I make, and the purpose I exist for; as it should be for you.
Choices have consequences, Pilot Shogaatsu. You have made your choices well known. We will see where those decisions lead you.
As you no doubt know at this moment, not all changes are negative. Sometimes changes are necessary. When all is said and done, for your sake, I hope you have chosen the right side for you. In the end that is all that we can ask for, is it not?
It was good speaking with you Pilot Shogaatsu. I have my answers. Thank you.
