SIR: Okay it's on... Now I may be a mere alien, but lighten up that your biological overlords are dead... Anywho, there are many conflicting reports on them. One of a replicator Bio-Mech killing senses of touch, yet I see here that humans developed to have "selective touch." Care to explain, robo-human?

???: The name's Larry.

SIR: So, Larry, why "robo-human"?

Larry: The Eugenics, sorry "The Patriots," reformed into existence when that was discovered in the science community, they struggled to abuse it at first. Yet their promotion of a new work force, a slave labor army really, that could work forever was rampant and won Corporations over... but there were "outcasts." That's when the term "robo-humans" existed, they'd chemically pump us "robo-humans" until we like our "biological brethren."

SIR: What did they do to "outcasts" after this?

Larry: Well this all happened in prison labor camps: if you didn't get your chemical check-up or you did what a prisoner does to survive or if they spotted you feeling more than one touch-sense, all lead to death by chemical-pumping... In the end The Patriots won: robo-humans felt the pickax, but never the muscle aches. 'Til one's limbs snapped that you felt blood spurting or your phantom limbs at work. Never together... Huh, without Neque-Tactus targeting our biological brethren, all robo-humans would've died or joined the slave-army eventually... Funny that they even chemically pumped themselves to acquire such...

SIR: Wait the recorder is screwing up, guess that's all for today...
