The whole idea of the Hybrid Child program is kind of... dark. Like, they know there are 100% sapient and viable synthetic lifeforms out there, so they're going to make the equivalent of a Delta or Epsilon from Brave New World. It makes sense, in that people would get very up-in-arms if a real Hephaeton was forced into this servant role, but where is the line drawn? What makes the enslavement of something like ADI different? Isn't he (male identity, it seems) just as much a being as other A.I.'s, and deserves the same rights of choice and what have you?

:) It brings up interesting in-universe questions, especially because I'm going to be playing a Hepaeton "sapienpologist"... It's like an anthropologist, but not focused on only one species; they'd be quite common in any multi-species universe like this. Anyway, being someone who studies such things, and being a Hephaeton herself, meeting someone like ADI would be quite an experience.
