<I always was... I hope I can't get inanimate objects pregnant... Oh, dear. I hope Neferis can't... I need to run some tests.>

[SOLDIER First]

N'thara also takes off her bracelet.

Rachel is going all out.
Street rules.

[USEC_OFFICER]

"Um, yeah, I guess..
just don't bring it t-too close.."

"Don't worry, I won't. Is there anything you wanted to talk about?"

<I always was... I hope I can't get inanimate objects pregnant... Oh, dear. I hope Neferis can't... I need to run some tests.>

<Huh? Tests on what? Can I help?>

[Twi]

< My personal definition of robot is 'a  machine that can perform complex, physical tasks, usually autonomously'. Hence AIs in and of themselves would not be robots. However, ICARUS is still a machine, yes?>

[Empiricist]

<Not necessarily, seeing as she may indeed be truly sentient. She might also be Kyle's daughter for that matter.>

[USEC_OFFICER]

<Not necessarily, seeing as she may indeed be truly sentient. She might also be Kyle's daughter for that matter.>

<Oh.>

[wolfchild]

< My personal definition of robot is 'a  machine that can perform complex, physical tasks, usually autonomously'. Hence AIs in and of themselves would not be robots. However, ICARUS is still a machine, yes?>

<From what I am gathering, ICARUS is not a robot, put perhaps her body is?>

[SOLDIER First]

"N-no, I'm just exploring."


((I have bad images from 'can I help?'.
Bad, bad images.
I'm going to punish myself now.))

[kj1225]

<No.>

[Twi]

<You misunderstand. ICARUS does not, as far as I can tell, 'grow' and remodel itself  in the way that biological life as we know it does. She may be sentient, but her shell is still mechanical, ergo ICARUS as a whole is still a robot. Kapeesh?>

[Empiricist]

<Are we considering ICARUS and ICARUS' body to be one and the same in this discussion?>

[Twi]

<So long as it is difficult to separate her type of consciousness from her type of body.  And even if it weren't, do you have a better word for ICARUS's body than 'robot'?>

[USEC_OFFICER]

"N-no, I'm just exploring."

"Oh okay then. I won't keep you."

<No.>

<Why not? Can you at least tell me what the experiments would be?>

((I have bad images from 'can I help?'.
Bad, bad images.
I'm going to punish myself now.))

_{((Hueh hueh hue- Ew. I too have bad, bad images now. Damn you, Sentient Bowtie!))}

[PrivateNomad]

((I RETURN))

Kyle receives a call from Alucard.

[SOLDIER First]

"I don't m-mind.
Can I h-hold the machete?"

((Not really bad images, but the kind that are very well drawn but are morally bad.))
