Legion was people watching today. They didn't have an extranet to use to watch organics here in Vatheon, so they were doing it the direct way. They stood at the edge of the plaza, completely still except the occasion turn of the head.

Eventually, though, they pulled out their SFC and started typing on it. Anyone who came close would notice that Legion was trying to program something on the communicator. It was long and complicated and it looked like they had been working on it for some time now.

Do you approach the robot with the giant hole in its chest?

Gorthan tilted his head to the side.

" ... 'Quarians'? An organic sentient race, I presume."

[ihadahole]

"Yes. The Creator-quarians were the original inhabitants of Rannoch."

[warrior_king]

"Original. Implying... you replaced them, perhaps?"

Gorthan furrowed his hairless brow and narrowed his eyes sternly. He despised traitors, unless their motives were exceptionally noble and sound.

[ihadahole]

"They retreated at the end of the war under their own power. We did not replace them."

[warrior_king]

"You defeated them in a war?"

By now, he was furrowing his brow so hard one could almost see veins popping.

"What manner of traitors go to war against their creators, no less?"

Of course, it did not occur to him that he may have misunderstood something along the line...

[ihadahole]

"They became afraid after we began to show signs of self-awareness. Their government ordered us to all be destroyed, and we fought to ensure our continued existence. We had the advantage over the Creators, and thus they retreated from Rannoch."

Legion's explanation probably isn't doing much to help clear up that misunderstanding.

[warrior_king]

And in fact, Gorthan doesn't like it one bit.

"An entire people of synthetic traitors?"

He wrinkles his bill and waves a hand dismissively.

"I have no time to waste with the likes of you."

[ihadahole]

Legion is quiet as the programs come to consensus, trying to decide on whether to continue speaking to Gorthan.

"If that is your wish, we will not interact with you any further."
