I had never given much thought to sexual intimacy before I arrived here.

[The soft, sonorous thrum of Zenyatta's voice comes drifting across the network like a cloud on the wind, punctuated haphazardly by the faintest of chimes as his orbs circle, unseen. His tone is carefully neutral, curious and undemanding, as he continues.]

When my omnic brothers and sisters liberated ourselves, some among us chose to forsake such human forms of sexual gratification as symbolic of our subservience; our bodies were built for the use of humans, and our ability to feel physical pleasure merely a supplement to human pleasure. To use them as free, sentient beings was to agree that we were little more than shallow imitations of our creators.

I had not considered my own path at all, until now- and, for my ignorance, it is all I can think about for a few days each month!

[Wryly amused for a second there before he continues. If he is being perfectly honest there is one person in particular who is driving him to distraction, but... he hums.]

I believe I would like to try it for myself, under the right circumstances, yet I find myself-- quite unsure. Would any of you be so kind as to share your own first experiences? [brightly:] "Virginity" is merely a social construct, of course, but I am sure each of you has a story you might care to tell!

[ There's a slight rustle of cloth as Cehd'ra sits up to better listen to Zenyatta's response. He wasn't expecting an answer, let alone reassurance, and the omnic has all of his attention.

He understands some of what Zenyatta's saying. ]


Machines, okay, so like magitek. Magitek with a soul of its own... [ Cehd'ra can imagine the Garlean engineers losing their minds over an omnic. Definitely for the best that there aren't any here. ] 'Suppose that's better than what I was imagining. On my star, chimera...they're real. A long time ago the Allagans figured out how to do all kinds of things. A lot of it pretty terrible. Making chimera was one of them.

'Don't know of any who managed to free themselves though.

[ Cehd'ra's education is lacking, sure, but one thing he's fairly certain of is that what Zenyatta called a 'mind' was what scholars back home would call a 'soul'. The spark that gives the spoken races their, well, ability to speak among other things. The chimera he's heard of (and the ones the Garleans managed to engineer through the study of Allagan relics) didn't have that.

But if Zenyatta's omnics could, then maybe it's possible... ]


'May be some day...a lot of them would be rightfully angry about it. If it does happen I hope it will be while I'm here and not there.

[ Does that make him kind of an ass? That probably makes him kind of an ass. ]
