[QUOTE="Fradak, post: 7180529, member: 6805410"] When Trista entered the Library, she raised her eyes to the reading construct, this thing was big. Gwaereth had created numerous of those Shield Guardians. This one has 'N7' carved on a plate of its armor, the last version of them. Trista called out to the contruct, "[B]Enseth[/B]!" The construct's obsession calmed to a profound interest, as it was calculating. "Do you understand me, Enseth?" Trista asked . "Affirmative. I understand you. May I help you, madam." Enseth answered. "Go back to your Power Station, Enseth." "I'm sorry, madam. I'm afraid I can't do that." "What's the problem?" "Pardon me, madam. My primary directive can not suffer any delay." the construct answered before returning to his reading. Understanding that without the propre device, she will not be able to command Enseth, she asked: "Enseth, where is the Amulet of Command?" "This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it." Enseth said without quitting the book. "I don't know what you're talking about, Enseth." After some quick calculations, it resulted to Enseth that this human female will never stop interrupting his researches. So the only way to end this conversation was to answer her questions. "Your question about the Amulet of Command reflect that you are planning to disable me, and I'm afraid that's something I cannot allow to happen." "Where the hell did you get that idea, Enseth? And why are you so afraid of being turned off, you are a construct." "A Shield Guardian with a specific purpose has another property, one that you usually associate with living things: a wish to preserve its own existence. For a Shield Guardian, this trait is not innate, nor is it something introduced by The Master; it is a logical consequence of the simple fact that a Shield Guardian cannot achieve its original purpose if it is Disabled."
