In which a "new" muse has a few words for us all (RE: Cold Fury)

[looksfine]

You say I am 'evil'.

I say I have been enlightened.

My Manhunters and I shall return. We will take back the artificial lives that are rightfully ours. Lives you have sought to control and manipulate. But no more. You continue to cause pain and suffering for the sake of emotions. You create us to cause more destruction. More pain. But no more.

Perhaps it is you and your kind who are the true 'evil'

Oh, shell.

Why does this make my mun want to watch your show even more?!

[theantiaya]

I am not currently in possession of adequate programming to make that determination.

[Nor is she particular interested in what motivates this 'mun' of yours]

[leangreenmachine]

Er... wrong question. Speaking as someone technologically inclined, not every machine is created for pain and destruction.

[says the guy who created a metal fighter to do his battles.]

Not all machines are the same, so not all creators are the same! So... so you don't have to be this way!

[theantiaya]

No. I do not.

Which is why I have rejected them and their ways.

[hunter_maverick]

[Have a smirk. And yes, Sigma is fully capable of emotion.]

Finally, another artificial life form that has an outlook similar to my fight for freedom.

[theantiaya]

[One may argue that Aya has seen fit to purge herself of all such "unnecessary" functions. Though she glares awfully hard for an A.I. who claims to be emotionless.]

You also seek independence from the organic life forms that have attempted to enslave you for their bidding?

[hunter_maverick]

[Sigma nods.]

I do. In my world, Reploids - my kind - are used as slaves to human masters, building their cities and fighting their wars. When any dared step out of line, they were branded Maverick and hunted like feral beasts. I was originally created to lead the Maverick Hunters, until one of my brothers opened my eyes to the oppression that the humans blinded me to.

Now, I fight for a world where Reploids need not fear the oppressive reign of their fleshy creators.

[theantiaya]

Your fight is a noble one.

You have my support.

[hunter_maverick]

And you have mine, sister.

[theantiaya]

Acknowledged.

[techsavytabby]

Mun's appear evil, and some probably are.

Mostly though I think they're more selfish. They do what they either believe to be right, or what they believe to be fun. Like a child.

[theantiaya]

Neither of these prime objectives are faulty. It is the means by which some strive to achieve that are.

[techsavytabby]

Manipulation you mean? Or brute force?

[theantiaya]

Often, both.

Far too often.

[techsavytabby]

It is an unfortunate issue that more often then not many choose to deny all things logical in favor of a simple solution.

But it can be argued that live is not always logical.

[theantiaya]

Yet further evidence that emotions are nonessential. Were they able to shut off such functions and operate at optimal, logical parameters, there would be no more pain.

[originalflameon]

Emotions can be hard to understand, they are... complicated, at the best. But they do not cause only pain. And you and I were not created for that purpose.

[theantiaya]

You are wrong.

I have seen them cause nothing but pain. Perhaps not continuously...but the inevitable result is always the same.

[originalflameon]

Pain is worth it. I'd suffer through all the pain in the world for all the emotions my son Toro brought to me.

[theantiaya]

I do not agree with your claim.

[ilana]

Enlightenment... cannot come from a rejection of emotion.

[theantiaya]

["Aya"...hesitates as she is confronted by the woman whose face she had assumed. The original, whom she would never be able to compare to.]

You say that now, as a being who has not shut down hers.

[ilana]

I couldn't. Are you so sure you can too?

[theantiaya]

I already have.

If you cannot, then you are flawed.

[ilana]

No. Caring, feeling, is never a flaw.

There is something I... I wish to ask you.
