"Sometimes, you just cannot run, lest your demons find you anyway," Natasha said. "Sometimes, you can't run, lest you always be haunted by the ghosts of the past. Legion, you're sapient; can you actually say that you don't regret running away from something and letting others be hurt or worse?" 

Natasha didn't know [i]all[/i] of Legion's backstory, but had guessed quite a bit; perhaps more than Legion would find comfortable. "Nevertheless, the choice to let the kids fight stands for today; again, if the operation fails, we can send them home."

She changed the subject, "Now, should I dive into battle, can you manage the ship by yourself?"

Legion fell silent. As an AI, Legion understood that the decisions it made were based off of logic, rationality, and reason, so regret should be a foreign concept. Yet it was not. Was this the curse of being sentient? To make choices and to regret them?

Thankfully, Captain Zhang changed the subject. [color=a187be]"I can handle the ship. You go out there and...keep those kids safe,"[/color] Legion replied. Yet soon after Natasha set out, Legion noticed something awful, communications were being jammed. As a test, Legion allowed a few of its nanites to break off, each one manning a different console of the ship. Legion was still able to communicate with the nanites, indicating that the jamming did not effect its own internal communication protocols.
