"Have you heard the legend of the 'Shadow Folk'? They are the Sheikah... the shadows of the Hylians. They say they swore allegiance to the King of Hyrule and guarded the Royal Family. But with the long peace, no one has seen a Sheikah around here for a long time. However... I heard there is one Sheikah woman living in the castle..."

Dr. Bowman: Everyone is afraid of what will happen when people find out about me. Physically, I'm a chimp. That doesn't mean I'm not also something else. Florence Ambrose, am I human?
Florence: [an uplifted wolf created by Dr. Bowman] Of course you're human.
Henri: [stares in shock]
Bowman: Don't look so surprised. Did you really think I'd be so foolish as to define "human" as one narrow subset of primate DNA?

"An AI has to be told something is human. DNA isn't good because you can't have the robots treating everything as non-human until they draw a sample. So what do you use? A phone can talk and respond. A mannequin looks human. Not all humans can talk. You have to take a number of factors and add them up and if they go over a hundred percent, the AI treats the target as human. A fully functional poopy head like you would add up to two-hundred and fifty percent. This brings up which way you want your errors to go. If you have a robot working in meat processing, you want it to fail positive and think something is human rather than fail negative and start processing its coworkers."
