You're asking if you should continue what you were doing or not. But if something was definitely a yes or a no answer, it'd be pretty obvious anyway. Most things have a lot of pros and cons, and you just have to weigh them and figure it out.
It's... a difficult choice at this point. Last time I tried to rebuild I almost died, almost killed a friend. I try to think of what else I could do. Something that would be a benefit for humanity. I have the ability. I feel to not use it would be a crime.
You're being ridiculous. "Something to do with my life", gimme a break. What? Being a social butterfly? Making friends? Friends didn't get me published in Scientific American. They didn't help me achieve what I've achieved. It was me. It's always been me.
In any case I meant that not knowing why I was being drawn to people, in general, was pissing me off.
One can only do so much before their mind is overridden. It could not be classed as your fault if the will, or drive, of those machines were stronger. It could only be classed as your fault if you let it happen.
And friends are in the small scheme of things. What matters is family.
For what it's worth, having an immortal story with your name in it isn't the same thing as immortality. You can worry about what people think of you, or you can go out every day and do what needs to be done.
What does an AI have to say about legacies, anyway? I've never heard the suit try to philosophize...
((Planning on continuing the Venom thread, btw? Or is that needlessly complicated and competing with Wuya/Axel/the madness over at the ball? I don't mind either way, really.
((I'm sorry! I have to admit, at first I wasn't sure how to reply, and then... I forgot about it. >_< I replied just now, though. And thank you! ♥))
It's not worrying what other people think of me. It's the idea of my abilities being squandered. I know I have the capacity for great things. The world needs my intelligence. Needs what I could create. But now, I'm considered a criminal. No one would listen to me. So the question is, do I retreat into the shadows and make what little I can out of the rest of my life, or do I make them listen?
They're tools. They were built for one purpose. So, of course, they would "naturally" want to fulfill that purpose at any cost.
((No worries- I don't know how much you'd want to continue that without an Eddie or Peter anyway. And is that last strikethrough illegible?))
I suppose that's 'natural' enough. As far as I can thell, the suit isn't self-aware enough to 'want' anything- or else it has enough self-awareness to not want anything. Chozo architects had strange ideas about tools...
...I can honestly say I never thought of it that way. Only ever focused on what I've lost, because it was so much. But with my arms... no, no one could stop me but myself.
She's an... interesting woman. She does try to loosen me up, but I'm just not the type.

I wouldn't worry about your roommate. If someone wants attention they should be able to say so. She doesn't come off as the shy type.

No, she's... certainly not. Part of what makes things so uncomfortable.

I don't know who Wuya is, but...do keep in mind that you're not the only variable. The other person always plays a role in the interaction, too.

Give it time. A balance will strike itself, if you both put effort into it.
