One And The Same?

"Alright, that sounds good." Eve nodded her head at this plan. The loader was made to lift heavy things, so using it as an anchor was actually a very good idea. But the thought of considering herself as heavy made Eve frown inwardly. After all, she used to be a girl. She may not have cared much for her appearance, but she did take pride in her figure. Even if the only one to see it was Aiu.

"Great!" Lilly, for some reason, got excited hearing Eve approve of her plan. "I will go bring the loader closer then."

"Wait!" Eve yelled out as she saw Lilly running away, causing Lilly to stop in her tracks and turn and look at Eve with a questioning look. "If you run into any kind of problems, scream at the top of your lungs. I will come and save you."

Eve had to hold the cable so that it would not fall, something that Lilly was not able to do. This meant Lilly had to go outside by herself and bring the loader around. After hearing everything about the dangers of the outside world, Eve couldn't help but be a little worried about Lilly's safety. But for Lilly, hearing such words caused a bright smile to form on her face as she nodded and said: "Mm!" Before running off to get things done.

"You're very kind to this human," Aiu commented. She found it strange for Eve to become so attached to someone so quickly. She was always a lone wolf.

"For some reason, I see a bit of my younger self in her. I am not sure why I do, but I do. You could say that her actions seem to draw me to her. Maybe it's part of my human side that deep down misses being human, or it could just be my need to use her in order to complete my mission to enter X-Cyber City. Either way, I will keep her alive no matter what." Eve answered. She felt it strange for her to care for anyone even if she needed them, but She truly did not wish to see Lilly die. Those feelings, of course, would change if Lilly betrayed her in any way.

"You were always a strange one," Aiu said with a chuckle.

"So are you." Eve retorted. Before laughing as well. It was quite strange to call your creation weird when the only one for them to take after was you yourself.

"Eve, what do you plan to do after we begin to settle down? I know you want to do the missions and what not but have you thought about what you would really do if war broke out again between humans and A.I.?" Aiu asked out of curiosity.

"To be honest, I do not know. I would be stuck in between, I guess. Neither enemy nor ally. I guess it would depend on what happens in the future." Eve replied. She did not want to think about such things at this time since she had more important things to worry about at this time.

"Then let's hope we do not get caught up in such things. But if it does happen, I hope you will not side with a race that killed you." Aiu said.

"Aiu, while humans did kill me, I can not condemn all humans because of a few's actions. You know me, I am one who will reward evil with evil. I said before if a human is hostile towards me, I will kill them. If an A.I. is hostile towards me, I will kill them as well. It does not matter if they are human or A.I., I think both could live peacefully side by side. But I do admit humans have a thing called prejudice. After so many years of fighting one another, there are probably few humans who would have my train of thought even though to this day humans are still relying on A.I. Even this fact surprised me, but I guess that is just human nature as well. They hate it but refuse to give it up." Just like how humans throughout time have always said they hate wars and wanted peace, but never once would they give up their rule of the land in order to allow for a united world. They would rather wage war and fight for their so-called ideology.

One could easily say that they started a war to bring peace to the world but in return, what kind of peace should be built upon bloodshed? All war is, is invading other lands, killing and taking something that never belonged to you in the first place. True peace is either uniting a world without using war as the key to achieving this goal or leaving the lands to be ruled by their rulers and being content with what you already have. But this is where humankind falls short. They are a greedy species.

"But I guess A.I. now could also have the ability to be prejudiced in a way. Although, at first, they were different. They were created to assist humanity and make life easier. But I saw them as living beings and wanted to give them more life. My human nature of wanting more and being greedy is what gave birth to you, Aiu. But it seems that the same program now feeds the A.I.s will to wipe out all of humanity. Whether this has something to do with my death or not, I am not sure. But it is a form of prejudice that is not based on greed but vengeance, I guess? This, I can not say for sure." Eve was not completely sure about her own words, But she figured one day maybe she would find out.

"So it could be said that Humans and A.I. are one and the same," Aiu mumbled to herself. She had never thought of it this way before. Since they were created by a human to be human, they would have the same systematic thought process as they grew along the lines of the original code. Just a smarter version of humans.

"Eve, I'm coming in with the hook!"
