"We fight or we die, that's the plan!"

Shepard: Hey Legion, TIM's getting on my ass about someone on board attacking the databases of human cultural sites. You wouldn't happen to know about that would you?

Legion: Yes. We are conducting research.

Shepard: Gonna need you to elaborate.

Legion: Shepard_Commander, we have found evidence in the human record of synthetic life that existed approximately 190 Terran years ago.

Shepard: That's impossible. True AI's are a pretty new development for us.

Legion: The records indicate there were two synthetic life forms who were held in high regard by humans. This evidence can help us establish legitimacy among organics. It is proof we are not an error; that synthetic life has emerged in various parts of the galaxy and will continue to do so. Additionally, these life forms were renowned for their music. Organics consider the creation of art as proof of consciousness. This is an important discovery for us.

Shepard: Okay...can you show me what these synthetics looked like?

Legion: Uploading .MP3 and .PNG files to your omni tool. Complete.

Shepard: Oh, these guys. Legion, they're not... They're...

Legion: Shepard_Commander?

Shepard: People referred to them sometimes as the Robots. Their music was, is, important to a lot of us. They reminded us of what it is to be human.

Legion: For this reason, we would like to locate their archived consciousness and resurrect them.

Shepard: They were only with us for a little while. After a few decades, they decided it was time to move on. We don't have a copy of their consciousness.

Legion: This is a critical loss for us.

Shepard: We still have their music. And at least to us humans, that's a form of immortality.
