31	->When [[ArtificialHuman constructs]] were first developed, they were originally supposed to have a pre-sentient level of intelligence, like the dumber variety of bot. But you can't put something as dumb as a hauler bot in charge of security for anything without spending even more money for expensive company-employed human supervisors. So they made us smarter. The anxiety and depression were side effects.

65	''I'm a soldier. I was forged by other hands and forced into the role of warrior. According to my scars, I fought and fought. Besides bits and flashes, every battle has been forgotten. But I have this clear, awful sense that others died. In my unit, every soldier was killed except for me. Yet despite a thousand chances to be shredded and scrapped, here I stood, no weapon in my hands, making fists out of habit but with nothing to hit.''\
66	''I'd fought to save the Earth. That was my sense of things. But our world was collapsing around us, and every soul was doomed. Even cockroaches and microbes would die. And being an expert in the art of losing battles, I saw no ending to this battle but another loss.''\

70	->''Early experiments in Exo science [[BrainUploading managed to encode the human consciousness into a form that could be processed digitally.]] At the time, we believe that was the big hurdle to overcome in the creation of the Exo. [[LittleDidIKnow Little did we know]] that the real challenge would be the phenomenon known as Dissociative Exomind Rejection. Nascent Proto-Exos developed serious symptoms of cognitive disorder that eventually led to death. It turned out the human mind would not reconcile its presence in a new "body".'' [...] ''The second preventative measure to DER is to program certain "humanisms" within Exos. As machines, they have not the physical needs to eat or reproduce like real humans. But artificially injecting that drive has been clinically proven to reduce the odds of DER....''

87	->''"...because apparently, even though it's explained that none of these robots are able to have feelings, they do seem to have a need for self-preservation. And a need to form opinions. And a need to be sarcastic. And a need to have distinct personalities. And a need to adapt. And a need to change. And a need to interact. And a need to survive. And a need to help. And a need to protect. And a need to fight. And a need to lie. And a need to deceit. And a need to want. And a need to desire. And a need to do just about anything a goddamn HUMAN BEING emotionally needs to do! But, just to emphasize again, none of them have any emotional feelings whatsoever! ...yeah."''

90	->''"As with many David Cage games, it’s the kind of plot that makes you constantly yell questions at the screen: Why were androids built for menial tasks designed to look and act perfectly human in the first place? Why weren’t they boxes on wheels, or how about this: a dog with [[ComicBook/SpiderMan Dr. Octopus]] tentacles? That would’ve been more efficient at cleaning up and amusing for the kids. But considering the androids do look human, why are all the'' real ''humans [[FantasticRacism so unflinchingly hateful and dismissive of them]], when the androids’ superficial human qualities would be triggering the sympathy instincts in most normal people?"''
