[QUOTE="Mordane76, post: 2099171, member: 7172"] [COLOR=DarkOrange]"I've had a lot of time to think about some of these things already. I'll think about your points for awhile, but answer me one more question before I go and deliberate - you say that when I fall back on my programming that I lose some of what it means to be human... I wasn't born and raised, Thunder - I was made. I'm not 'human' like you; I'm human by design. How can you expect me to think and act like you and others?"[/COLOR] X12 asks. [COLOR=DarkOrange]"And Monica knew what she was getting into; I told her up front. Anyone who wants to know how I feel is welcome to know. The only reason Mia Toan is in custody and not in the morgue is because of Michael - not me. Criminals like Mason and Prophet and Mia don't deserve to live - it's not just for them to continue living after what they've done. Kodiak told me the same thing - that I'd lose a bit of myself if I had killed her, but you know what? I don't have any of myself to lose, because everything I am is what he made me... what he did to us isn't like anything you can possibly imagine, Thunder, and he deserves to die for that alone... his other crimes just provide more and more reason to put him in a box. "I'm not going out of my way to sacrifice people, Thunder... but I don't have to think long about the choice between saving a few innocents or destroying a greater evil. You can ask me later if I've changed my mind, but you're gonna have to show me something worth changing it for, because right now there isn't anything. I don't have family, I don't have a past, I've lost probably the person closest to me since I arrived at EPIC to Prophet already, and watched him turn Kevin's memory into an evil crony.
