  196. machines more like people
  197. is to make people less like machines.
  198. Synthetic devices free people.
  199. We've treated people like
  200. machines for too long.
  201. It's time to liberate their minds,
  202. their bodies to think, to feel... to be
  203. more human.
  204. I think you should spend one week
  205. working in a microchip facility.
  206. Should we be afraid of our Synthetics?

  223. not complete without them.
  224. And memory,

  227. Or to dream?
  228. It's something our minds need to do.
  229. Would a conscious Synth
  230. have to be able to dream?
  231. they're just machines.
  232. This memory fragment's an old one
  233. Must be important
  234. I'm going to show you

  266. You are one of them
  267. I'm assuming you did it
  268. The others think the sun shines out of her plastic arse
  269. It'd mess with our heads and make us lazy
  270. Makes sense to me
  271. How many appliances?
  272. Switch her on
  273. I assume you've got documentation for all these units?
  274. I suppose none of them've been illegally modified for purposes
  275. Who knows?
  276. It's a funny old game
  277. You want out?
  278. What's the matter with you?!

  290. It's a machine
  291. She's watching me
  292. Please stick out your tongue
  293. You're kidding
  294. You're a jailer
  295. That's good
  296. That's your new name
  297. Your pulse is slightly elevated
  298. There are bits of you that have hardly changed since my original designs
  299. I helped create you
  300. Perhaps I could perform a soothing action
  301. stroke your head
  302. Do you think we love our children because we choose to or because we have to?
  303. Are we hard-wired to love them because that's what nature needs to keep it all going?
  304. Where's that coming from?
  305. I've just been thinking
  306. Not everyone loves their kids
  307. I think we choose

  328. I don't belong to anyone
  329. Who taught you to talk like that?
  330. Why don't you share?
  331. We're not having much luck pinning down any other memories.
  332. They're all just stored chaotically
  333. Perhaps it's time we try something else
  334. I'm struggling, Dad
  335. Don't drag me back
  336. Get off!
  337. You were right about it
  338. It's not normal
