Sabeen, explain.

It's simple, really. The people here are ready to start to govern themselves again. After so much oppression from armies, radicals, and terrorists, we are ready to become our own country. as long as the human military persomel from the United States are here, we can't do that. What the androids came up with when they realized that the army should leave is that first the humans here from the US army leave as soom as the plan to become self-governed starts, and whe we have an army goon enough to defend ourselves, the androids will leave. The androids just stay a little longer to help us learn to stand on our own two feet.

Why not have the humans stay and help, too?

SABEEN

Frankly, most native people around here would shoot Capts. Freedman and Brown should they come near, wether with good intentoins or bad bevause they have never come around with good intentions. They put people who are more western, people with money, people with good looks, people who can give them soemthing first. The androids see everyone equally, no matter what. People may wonder why we want help from rust buckets, or Ironhearts. Why? Because to simply say that one heart is made of iron, and one is made of flesh and blood, and is thus superior, may seem all good an well at first, but you must look again.The Ironheart is warmed by work for peace, and strong;that of flesh and blood is cold as ice and indeed holds blood:tha tof others killed as the heart attempts to reach its desires, and fufill its lust for flesh, a terrible passion that an Ironheart never has.

MACK

So, the androids are good, and the humans are bad? This is a new concept to me.

SABEEN

No, no, that's not it. There's just a darker shade of grey in humans than in androids. While nobody, or anything, is purely white and blameless, nothing is dark and evil either. There just tends to be a little more dark in humans than in androids. And the battlefield brings out wether there is a lighter or darker grey in each man better than anythig else. People like Capts. Freedman and Brown have the darkeness of their greys revealed, while people like you, Douglas, and number 122, along with the rest of the androids have a lighter shade of grey. The problem ist that those with darker hearts, who don't care about what happens to us, are the people who make the decisons. We want to make out own decisons, and if we are to fail and fall to our own dark shades of grey, then at least they are our own, not those placed upon us in an attempt to supress our needs. The time has come that the army leave, and the androids are much better suited to help the transition that the humans put in charge of us by the army. Do you understand where I'm comming from?

MACK

Yes, I think I do. The people want independence, and the androids can help make shure that happens. Capts. Freedman and Brown, and Capt. Brown's troops will only hinder the process greatly.
