Darnell: *frowns, shaking his head* No . . . no, Connor, the "just a machine" mentality is a bad idea. You're far more than that. A machine is a tool I use to accomplish tasks. Make a phone call, send an email, play video games on. *pulls out his cell phone and nods at the computer on his desk as examples* They're not self-aware. They can't /think/. I can't sit down and hold a conversation with a machine. That . . . that kind of mentality just lays you open for all kinds of abuse and exploitation.

((Thank Brit for the word! XD;;; Also, randomly, all of a sudden I want him to meet KITT! I'll play this as a separate continuity from RC...cuz I almost had Darnell comment on that, that he knows another "machine" that's definitely more. 9,9))
