And that's where humans differ from krogan or turians.

Not with the bands, though. I hear you there.

Just making an AI is impressive, suit or assistant or whatever. Never really looked into it but I doubt I could do it. No idea where to even start. Just make sure he doesn't get too pissed off at humanity.

Know a species that lost their homeworld for a long time to an AI race they created and mistreated.
We're a little more diverse as a species to be lumped behind one individual decision like that. In fact, some would even argue that humans as a whole are innately violent.

...Geez, Terminator, much?

Anyway, if he gets pissed at anyone, it'll probably be me. I'm not exactly a joy to manage.
There's violence in every sentient species. It's how our ancestors made it to the top of the food chain and stayed there and evolved.

That one I've seen. It's banned on the Flotilla.

Humanity accidentally created one AI. She's actually with us, so right now Earth's safe. And if I were you, I'd get a bit better at working with yours. Remember he remembers everything. And can get into anything.
I didn't know there was more than one Terminator, but I shouldn't be surprised. It's a pretty popular theme for human vids I've seen - everything's gonna go wrong except for one person and they change the future.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
Not as common in turian vids. Shame. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the "fleet saves the galaxy by being the whole fleet" theme as much as anyone else, but the one-person saving is an interesting one.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
Group's my favorite, though. Small group of allies, all important, all saving the day. You'd want asari or salarian vids for that.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
And I've gotten completely off-track, sorry. When you see your AI again, be good to him. For your sake and Earth's sake.
It's an action movie from the eighties. As in it's pretty much obligated to have at least five sequels. And a modern nostalgic remake.

Again, I have to go with "not all of us." Actually the theme you're describing is more of a quintessential American thing. Other cultures tend to put more emphasis on the group than the individual.
FROM: stark.anthony@cdc.org
Because American culture, by and large, is self-involved and more fixated on personal gain.

Trust me. If I could hug him, I probably would. Not to get mushy on you, but it's been a long time abroad.

That and the adaptable individuals bumping way more uglies than the ones that die off.

All of them, or just Rise of the Machines? [Because that one should be banned, tbh.]

Easier said than done--just because he's not here and I can't do anything.
