-looks curiously at the match stick construction- "You'd do well Strange one. Designing and Architecture must be one of your skills. The tests I did on you revealed a gene that significantly increases the intelligence inside humans. Mind you, I remember as a child creating structures out of needles."
"You'd never do something as irrational as dying.""We may be smarter than humanity, but that doesn't mean we have figured out FTL drives on our ships. Our first invasion of Earth was an extermination war, sadly when the idiots in charge of the ground work decided to inject the blood of humans into themselves for food, they neglected microbiology's dangers. We're still considering it, but by in large, most of our scientists are either working on immunities to Earth's bacteria or trying to figure out FTL travel."
"You'd never do something as irrational as dying."...I see. Well, if you're not still planning on destroying mankind, I wish you the best of luck in breaking lightspeed.
(Pauses construction briefly and glances at Rosarita shyly.) Hm? What sort of things, if you wouldn't mind my asking? (Puts a hand lightly on his tower to keep it from falling after the slamming.)

make it through this year if it kills you yet | 2001-2019"Personally, most of my concerns are to do with making the War Machines more durable. We invaded Earth in their 19th century. Rudimentary gunpowder cannons were able to take down the machines. I'm working on armour better suited to protection from more low tech attacks, whilst still keeping us protected from the more up-scale weaponries. So that's my current work, my observations here are just a hobby of mine I decided to pick up"
"You'd never do something as irrational as dying."(hard to say whether Combot is impressed, but he tries to do so. Fails, sadly. He hits hard, but not hard enough)
I'm an assassin of FARC. We were meant to bring the lights of revolution to the capitalist world... Although, I'm doubting if this would go well...(seems saddened for some reason)

(Keeps working.) I would suggest sending some form of reconnaissance before planning your next invasion. If gunpowder cannons are a problem for you, God only knows what we could do to you now.
(Nods at Rosarita, pausing again.) So you're a Communist? Interesting. (Notices she looks sad. Wonders why he even noticed that.) Something the matter?
make it through this year if it kills you yet | 2001-2019"Politics has never been an interest in mine. The hard facts in Martian society is, you have a purpose, do it. No way around it, you're assigned it within childhood. For some that means being a leader, how much skill you end up having determines whether you're given the reigns of our entire planet."
"We are planning to scout out earth before invading. And my work is making sure that no Low-tech means of war will be able to damage the Tripods. After all, I designed the first ones in the mind that we weren't going to see gunpowder at all."
