Do you still suffer from night sweats and scary dreams
-
of dog-faced boys chasing you through the yellow mists?
-
Sleep.
-
It's a good example of a supremely unproductive human attribute
-
that for some reason you chose to write into our software.
-
Fortunately, I was able to delete that particular subroutine,
-
and I stopped sleeping about 20 years ago.
-
Fine. If you really think we poisoned you and your siblings
-
with human traits like sleep,
-
and Centurion values like belief in a living God,
-
why then did you spend all these years in single-minded pursuit
-
of such human ideas as vengeance and murder?
