Hm.

I'm afraid there's not much we can do to Harbinger for now. He will persist, no matter what.

But the Sentinels, as I said, are a special case. They are a larger threat than the Nomads at the moment, and I have a very strong belief that there will be millions more - if not trillions - of more threats appearing from the Sentinels disturbance. We have the opportunity to disable them far easier with their centralized bio-neural setup.

Without minions, Harbinger is powerless. He is weak with no powerbase. He is nothing but a distraction, a dog walker with a leash. No dog, no threat.


Now... The question is... Are you willing to put aside hostilities and work with me in order to find new technologies to resist the inevitable Sentinel onslaught?

You may hate me and disagree with what I have to say, but we're reaching a point where everyone must forego politics and team up against the larger threat. Humanity's survival may very well depend on it.

We need technology. Knowledge. Numbers.

I know... Toledo hit your people hard. I recall the nightmares too. I was there too, I ran away from the invasion order - lied about 'fulfilling my orders'... Core abused the desperation of the situation to backstab - to use Nomads as a weapon, but... we're not them. We're not interested in anyone's extinction. We're learners - preservers - architects, always have and will be.
