74% sync. I am now soundly in the "machine no longer argues with you" zone. woot! I decided, given how much Zim has fought against the idea that the werks are even semi-sentient beyond AI, and given what happened with Arin/Paladin, I think that it might be worth Zim spending some thought process on how he views his Werk. This all would have been something that he would have figured out prior to going into combat, but in the real world I didn't think about this development moment until yesterday when I was watching Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans... So I think I might break it up as flashbacks in my up coming combat posts. Or would it be preferred to format it differently, or wait until after combat is over and have a discussion with somebody about it? I am open to suggestions.
