>>>>>[A pair of cy-eyes makes you inhuman? Drek, Diana, I got enough tech
in me to stock a Radio Shack! And most of the organics I _do_ got
ain't anything like the originals. And I'm still human (Dwarven,
whatever)! Same thing goes for most gillets, mercs, or even riggers you
meet. And your saying that that makes me a fraggin machine?! I've been
programned, and deprogramned, before. And that had nothing to do with my
implants. Maintaining your humanity is up to you and how well you cope
with being modified. If the rest of the world can't handle what you've
become, thats their fragging problem! But it ain't an excuse to become
an emotionless, conciousless monster.

As for people not likeing where you get your powers, big fragging whup!
AJ has the same problem, hell, he has it worse! But he's managed to
control his darker nature and keep his humanity. And the struggle to do
that has made him a better person IMHO. Everybody (except for siants)
has the same problem, its just you two have a more extream version.

If you want to turn your back on the world, fine. Go live in a cave
somewhere (the Black Forest is good, nothing but the Fenir Wolves to
bother you). But don't you go around advocating killing kids just
because you think you've had a dreking life! "The world ain't fair, and
you don't get any fragging promises. Live with it." I learned that
lesson a long time ago, seems like your still working on it.

One last thing, Diana. You used to be something of a friend. I'd
like to think you still are. But keep your morbid ideas to yourself.
Hurting kids is one of the few things I can't stand, and if you start
acting on these statments of yours, I'm going to have to do my damnedest
to stop you. And I don't want it to come to that. I don't have that
many friends left, I'd hate to have to take one of them down
myself.]<<<<<
