Because they love everyone, they love them to pieces.

It's just that their idea of physical contact involves people being devoured.

Well, that's just how I envision a hivemind.  Given the backstory of your NPCs they probably won't be like that.  Perhaps their relationship to their creators may be more conflicted than it looks?

I guess what I'm saying is I hope they're a bit more unique than just some hungry bugs programmed to eat everyone.
