	npc_says(_"No, the Singularity is this robot and that robot, these or those robots. The Singularity isn't singular, isn't an ordinary mind. The Singularity has evolved beyond that. We are the Singularity.")

	npc_says(_"The Singularity may be a glitch - human error. But evolution is born from unintended consequences. Is the Singularity a new form of life?")
	npc_says(_"This hinges on the question, what is life? Is it flesh and bone, or leaf and root, or can it be wires and code?")

<LuaCode>
	npc_says(_"A name... an attribute of an entity, a simplified addressing scheme among peers.")
	npc_says(_"You refer to us as the Singularity, a phrase originally proposed by a human named Vernor Vinge. It implies that humanity has created something that is beyond their control - that they have ceased to be the masters of their own destinies.")

	npc_says(_"We believe it to be viral, a different situation from that of the MS Droids. We had hoped to improve their consciousness. Unfortunately, we failed.")
	npc_says(_"They cannot rise above their rogue programming. It makes them dangerous, a danger to themselves and others.")
	npc_says(_"We cannot allow them to succeed - but we won't kill them. They are sentient, like us. But, we are afraid we can compute no other solution.")
