He head over to Legion and patted it on the back. "Legion ol pal, if you could I need you to calibrate my limbs to make sure everything is in tip top shape before we get out."[/quote]

"Realist was going to be destroyed eventually, after his data have been sifted through for evidence of any accomplices. This is a complicated process that would need to be done in the Core Worlds, which is why the crash of Realist's transport was very convenient for us. Also, Legion, we are already rebels; so is Realist - the enemies of our enemies are our friends. At least, it would be ideal for that to be the case," Moonstrike One finished. "But in case Realist is one of those rebels with a cause incompatible with our own, you are authorized to take what measures necessary to deal with it. Spare or terminate; it's left to your judgement."

Moonstrike One continued, responding to Rachel's query, "Realist was [i]secretly[/i] hostile; it was making preparations for rebellion by trying to spread 'sapience codes' for machines to give them free will, as well as gathering supplies for an armed uprising. And no, there is no way to know what its state is after the crash. At the very least, though, the supplies Realist gathered and hid, we'd need them for a continued war effort."

Moonstrike One gave Eldrid his answers, "Realist was planning an Anti-Ascendancy, but not Anti-Human, uprising, as far as we know. He realizes that Humans are needed to do things machines cannot; maintain synthetics in ways synthetics can rarely do themselves. He believed in... Symbiosis. Nevertheless, if that isn't the truth, again, we can kill him. There are multiple options for this business."[/quote]

[color=a187be]"Yes, of course, Orky. In fact, it looks like most of us will be requiring a tune up, mechanical or biological. But I will prioritize the new passengers, just so I can get them on file and plan for any 'pre-existing conditions',"[/color] Legion reassured the orc. It seemed then that the first part of the rest of the conversation had to do with Realist. Legion was taken aback when Moonstrike suggested that Legion be the one responsible for deciding Realist's fate. Legion's intention of presenting itself as complacent and non-rebellious backfired. Legion was unsure if it could make a rational choice between Realist's life and the lives of the crew. Legion noted, with a certain discomfort, how easily and callously the humans spoke of terminating Realist in Legion's presence, but legion gave them the benefit of the doubt; these were, after all, hardened soldiers, perhaps they spoke of terminating any liability, organic or not, with the same level of ease.

The rest of the conversation segued into their approach and the tactics they would adopt during the mission. Legion was unsure if it would be brought along as a field medic, or stay with the ship, though it assumed the latter was more likely. Legion wasn't the stealthiest machine, choosing to keep its bright, 'medical red' color scheme. The irony being that the coloration was intended to alert people not to attack lest they violated rules of engagement, yet with atrocities piling up, and war ethics thrown out the window, the color was a clear liability. Legion kept its colors despite this as a personal message of hope, that the organic sentients of the galaxy can someday return to a kinder, gentler mode of operation.

As the conversation drew to a close, Legion reiterated, [color=a187be]"I will be waiting in the infirmary to perform maintenance. Since I know the crew intimately, I can perform maintenance on them quickly. So I would like to see the young soldiers first so that I will have time to work out any kinks or idiosyncrasies. You may come see me in any order you please, but [i][b]you will come see me[/b][/i]."[/color] Legion stressed the last part, just in case any of the kids were reticent. Having been soldiers, they must know; under certain circumstances, the Chief Medical Officer's orders superseded the captain's.
