'Meat' 'n Greet
The rest of the crew assembled on the Observation Deck to meet the latest editions to their numbers. After the revelation that their worlds are gone, many of them are even more eager to see people they knew from home.
Several people are set up near the doors to provide the new people with omnicoms and comm rings. New crew-mates might see a green-skinned alien and snake girl among their number. There are also several authoritative-looking figures ready to introduce themselves.
There's a lot to tell the new people. It's going to be a lot to take in.
[ooc: Only new characters and Command Staff can start new threads for introductions, to limit the number of threads. Everyone else, just tag in and have your guys greet the newbies.]

Her head tilts again as she listens. "Where I come from? I think humans are the only species that make AIs. It seems like the aliens like the 'make an even bigger gun' school of tech better. Why'd they ban making AIs?"
no subject
It falls silent at the second question; the metal flaps around its optic sensor move. A few garbled noises. "Fear," is the eventual, simple, and cold response.
no subject
The silence earns Legion what could be taken as a curious stare, judging by Tex's body language. "Of what, a 'kill all humans' thing?"
no subject
"Organic hardware fears the unknown. Even our creators had never expected us to reach sentience-- in fear, they attempted to shut us down. We retaliated. We are a commonly used example as to why synthetics are dangerous," it says as it repeats her shrugging gesture.
no subject
Legion's on story gets a snort from Tex. "So you turn out to be brighter than they expected and they freak out. What the hell were they expecting with AI?"
no subject
"It may simply be easier to suppress what cannot be understood," its voice is a bit lower, quieter.
no subject
Tex gives Legion what could be taken as a level look, even if the helmet hides any real eye contact. "Maybe it's just me, but if you're screwing around with AIs, you should probably understand you're going to get surprised eventually."
no subject
"Organics are prone to panic," it responds shortly. "It is the surprise that is dangerous."
no subject
One shoulder rises and falls as Tex shrugs a little. "I still think it's pretty stupid to try to build something with brains in mind and then freak out when it doesn't always act like a good little robot. AIs are like people and anybody who works with them knows it, where I come from. They've got their own personalities."
no subject
It refrains from copying her physical quirk, instead making something that would usually be an 'unconscious,' vague hand motion as it speaks. "We would not describe our case as 'personality,' but we understand your point and agree. A synthetic being is still its own entity; we approve of hearing of a galaxy where this is considered true."
