1. nosense. Further in the plot it is said thatGroundwalker wrote:1. They don't care about organics - they need new information.
2. In order to make their deals quietly.
3. "technology for hacking "friend-foe" recognition system of organic beings?" - why not?
You guys don't know what you want...The Protocol No 18 was of the highest priority: the indicated sector of the space was a subject of the primary terraforming. *organic HATE goes here and blablabla* We don't fight against you. We fulfill the space-terraforming directions of the CPU. The Protocol No 1 excludes the presence of organic life-forms in the conditions updated.
2. Oh yeah, you surely will make your deals quietly if you say STRAIGHT IN SCIENTIST'S FACE THAT YOU ARE XENON.
3. Because it will lead to the events of the first episodes of "Battlestar Galactica". You know, when race of robots (Cylons), using sort of hack of "Friend-Foe recognition system" (actualy they used help of some renegade) and send 12 Terran colonies back to stone age.
Evil they are seen by "organics". if you ever met a machine that does nothing but kills, crashes and destroys everything in it's path and takes no prisoners in process, will you think it's nice and good? I doubt it, especially if it was heading straight on you.Groundwalker wrote:How can robots be evil or kindly? Couldn't they become clever enough to understand, that it is better to be quiet sometimes, than kill everything?
DUDE! It's a xenon, one of those who nearly put the Commonwealth on its knees in "X: Beyond the Frontier" (but i guess you've never played it... Young gamers can't into old games), one of those who have killed millions, blew up entire stations and ships without even shadow of emotion, doubt, and/or regret.Groundwalker wrote:According to you, a xenon start player shouldn't be able to increase his reputation among the races at all?
And how most plot NPC react? "Oh, a Xenon. Ohwell, hi hunk of metal. Do some stuff for me and i'll help you. Have a nice day. See ya."
Oh, and besides, judging by the introduction message and what you said, when Xenons will need even more information, they will raid an insane asylum for more madmen.
