Legios "Engineers, prepare the Cannons, soldiers, man the defenses, advance old fleet into defense, advance new fleet at the hub of IWO. Yes, whole fleet. Also, take a couple of Controllers and five drones per each."
"Hex, are you totally sure we're engaging? We could always just drop out and regroup for defense."
"Yes, but why would we fight for our lives if the enemy offends us when we have a boolean if we participate?"
"Sorry?"
"Either we win or we lose, you little flesh chunk. We probably would not fully recover if we do take any damage even in your variant, Auxiy, but if we make it out alive out of this war, I'd suppose you can get the 5th seat to work. Yes, that is incredibly filthy, but we are an united organization and should help each other. There are empires millions of times larger than we are, and helping us will not be too much of a hassle anyway."
"Damn. Why can't I be an AI?"
"Yes, why can't you? It'd be actually interesting, but the people are calmer this way, so I'd rather slap my personal interests in the central processor than let down the whole population."
"Wait, are you-"
"Why not."
"Are you s-"
"Why not."
"I got bested by a robot at my only job. Splendid."
A fleet arrives in some united territory.
