@ComradeSandman true, but I’d say humans are worth the risk.

I am so telling Soia

@TheLoadingGorilla Train wrecks can be interesting to observe. That said, one would be best to avoid getting too close.

Scratch that last part, I am insane.

@ComradeSandman indeed. They have so many problems (all of which they bring upon themselves through one means or another). And yet there’s something… intriguing about them… they do suck, don’t get me wrong, but there’s something about them that’s different… I can’t explain it… maybe I’m insane.

@TheLoadingGorilla I'd keep away. Humans... suck.
They just suck.

@ComradeSandman neither can I…

@TheLoadingGorilla Can't help you there.

@ComradeSandman I have had no experience or interaction with any Soian units, and therefore have no idea what they’re made of or look like. I have, however, come into contact with humans. They’re strange and I’ve always wondered what makes them tick, thus the desire to own a human mind. It’s simply my own personal desire

@Boeing727200F You can put them on your shelf as a conversation piece then beg for your life when a Soian unit decides to poke around your home at random.
They do that sometimes.
The Number One item that people hide in their closet and are embarrassed to have discovered will shock you!

@ComradeSandman
damn.

@Boeing727200F They're tiny. Like a couple dozen square cm at most.
Trinkets.

@ComradeSandman oh
"purposeless plates of overlapping material"
nothings stopping me from using these plates as improvised armor for aircraft

Not to say those parts aren't in there, they just don't look (or function) like any Earthly being is used to.

@Boeing727200F You might tear one open expecting to see wires and circuit boards and pipes and pistons and whatnot. Instead you just find seemingly purposeless plates of overlapping material. This stuff is more alien than people give credit for.

@ComradeSandman rip electronics out and use them in aircraft (and retrofitted locomotives). but if you insist.

@hpgbproductions What they don't know can't hurt them.
@ComradeBazookaBall My comrade in commune these are gods.

@Boeing727200F I should specify, reverse-engineering is essentially impossible; they don't even resemble any known mechanical part from Earth. Really, it's just a trinket.
@TheLoadingGorilla Wrong kind of machine, Kong.
@Randomplayer What countries?

@hpgbproductions If they do claim it, then make them ahem "mysteriously disappear".

Only if beings related to the machine do not lay claim to its parts. Otherwise it's fair game

like what those 2 countries are doing currently right now?

I’ve always wanted my own human brain… not that I’d ever try to attain it through the black market (obviously)! I am an honest Gorilla! I get my things through legitimate sources! …hehe…

@ComradeSandman
Hell yeah. I always have a need for parts scavenged from robots….
And cyborgs.

@Boeing727200F Any interest in purchasing MA unit parts?
