I Fucking love X being Prometheus, (the Titan that brought Fire for his masterpiece,
You can actually imagine the âfireâ X gave away in two ways here, simultaneously: He helped humanity to evolve technologically and he gave his creations, the Reploids, the power to make decisions on their own, just like him.
It all started with good intentions from his part, but good intentions are never enough to justify that he still gave the same fire that would burn down villages.
And now his liver is constantly being eaten away by his decision.
He doesnât have the right for his own creations, Dr.Cain has; (Or something like that) (the point is, X just assisted with the first Reploid and their schematics, Dr.Cain distributes those schematics)
Therefore, X doesnât have the final word of what Reploids shall be created for⊠he wasnât happy in the slightest knowing that Dr.Cain just gave the permission that Reploids would be fabricated for Conflict purposes.
but he also didnât fought against it, as at that point in time there was no better answer for the Maverick attacks other than creating someone capable of solving the problem.
(this decision will bite him in the ass very hard, as this is a road that is not easy to go back) (Man kind created swords, then guns, then tanks, then Nuclear bombsâ Reploids created for conflict will always get bigger until the point you just have to ask yourself why you havenât stop; thereâs a legitimate risk this Reploid will not be treated as a sentient entity, but a weapon with consciousness and internalize it.)
(And this happened with Repliforce)
(I want them to be the point where the Reploids are created to be humanity strongest military, treated more like an instruments of destruction that happen to make decisions on their own behalf.
Look, Iâm trying to be fair here⊠Iâm not gonna say a human shouldnât be worried being near someone thatâs built like a tank. Any Reploid can go Maverick; with how optimize for battle a Repliforce soldier is too, one of them going Maverick is enough to say âwe canât let them do anything without supervisionâ.
The difference is that youâre doing this with someone thatâs capable of rationalizing whatâs going on. You have created super soldiers that canât possibly live in civil life being who they are, and sure, some Reploids may not feel bad about it, after all: Why miss something that you never had? They have their own place tooâŠ
some may never want the war to end. Why wishing for a civil life?
But not everyone is like this. Thatâs the point.
Assuming how a whole group would act the same way never ends up well. By design, corporations creates Reploids that couldnât exist without causing fear, so how can you make sure they are able to have a life outside combat? Outside the battlefield? To Truly Have Free Will??
Yes, you can argue: But theyâre Reploids, they can change their bodies.
Which is fair, but Letâs just say: The Reploid is comfortable is changing who they are to fit civil life⊠Is it enough? Think about it, this soldier never lived with a human before, theyâre created for war, and fought everyday, therefore they have a lot of baggage too, the same way a veteran would have after returning homeâ if a human veteran already has challenges to overcome after war, how can you make sure a Reploid is even gonna be prepared for a life they never had?
You canât stop a human soldier coming back home because of the possibility of them not being able to readapt to civil life. Itâs their right to return after serving. But This Reploid needs support because of public safety + their own, as again, they never lived outside the context of the military. How accessible thatâs?
How can you make sure a Reploid, created for war, can have their right to choose to not to be a combatant? To have a life outside conflict and the military? While also not creating panic among humans?)
(I could go on and on with this)
