"hope?..hah...you're a machine....however complex, you cannot possibly understand the depths of human emotions.
jericho changed sides with the strongest? though i can't even conceive that...you're saying that there are three sides: us, the rebels, the machines, and...and you..whatever you are...with whatever difference you can make...
"That shows how ignorant you are about Machines," says Melitus. "AI is a complicated process but it brings true sentience. There is nothing a Human can feel that a Machine cannot also feel unless specifically designed not to. You tell me that hope would bind you to the hopeless Zion cause. I accept that an an answer. I understand why you feel that way. I think you are wrong to do so, but then so would lots of humans just the same, so that says nothing about my mind. There is no depth to Human emotion that I do not understand.
"What I can offer you, is survival. But you do not understand the full reasons Jericho had for his decision, and that is a problem."

To Azrael:
"That is most certainly a question that is not without merit. If you take the choice I hope you will, you will have the opportunity to learn more about that."

To Fire:
"There are many choices that are illusiory. But also many that are genuine. I will be the first to admit tha many of those that led you here were not genuine choices, but there will be one genuine choice, that not I, nor anyone, will have any control over, other than yourself, which I shall offer you soon.
"As for your uncertainity, that is understood. Likewise, if you take the choice I hope you will, you will learn more upon onto which to base such a decision."

To Castor
"Faith is an interesting perspective, though I would imagine you would need something to base it on. I would ask you more but I do not wish to overtly distract ourselves at this time, I have my answer from you. But I would point out, you seem to talk as if I have made a horrible mistake in thinking any Human would ever chose to join me. I am afraid it is you who are mistaken; several alrerady have and I assure you, more would if given that choice, and I have no doubt that your absolute rejection of that offer is NOT a view shared by everyone in this room."

"The time of your choice is fast approaching. Buit first, we must deal with a lesser, and certainly illusiory, choice. I am compelling you to follow my instructions. First you must chose if you are submitting to me, or if you intend to resist me. This is obviously not a discussion I would have a part in. If you intend to resist me, there is little more I can say right now, and all I can do is await to see what you do."

"You don't know what she believes," says Melitus, "so I will disregard that.
"And somehow I have little confidence you will understand the choice you are given, so impatient are you to move on. I will simply have to hope that you have understood."

"Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, as I believe an author of your kind once wrote. Your inability to see what the point of things is hardly speaks much for you."
