Voicelines (English)[]

"Scanner's like me mostly work alone. I don't usually get a partner. It's kind of fun!"

"When it comes to combat, the machines show overwhelming adaptive behavior and evolutionary speed. So why do they insist on imitating humanity? And more specifically, why do they imitate their failures? It's almost as if the objective is failure itself."
