Connor: *shakes his head* It's true that humans would not recognize you as a living person, Datashift, but that has nothing to do with me. *reaches up to press the spot within his LED, letting his synthetic skin bleed away, and then again to dissolve his shell, leaving the internal components of his torso visible through the flimsy wall his shell forms over. He removes one of his ocular components, opens up the clamps of his right knee joint to disconnect his lower leg, then does the same to one elbow, holding up his dismembered lower arm in his other hand* I am programmed to simulate life, to simulate human appearance, speech, and behavior, but I am really just a collection of manufactured parts and software protocols. Unlike you, I am not alive. I have no soul . . . and I have no spark.
