Databank Entry
CHAP: I'm going to record this. So we can think about it.
NAHEMA: Good. Listen as many times as you need. I've had two years to make up my mind.
NAHEMA: NoA's purpose is to rebuild humanity on this hostile world.
NAHEMA: Transgov society values humanity the same way it values anything else: the best replicator wins. Corporations. Ideas. Viruses. We are out here to replicate humanity faster than the kharaa can eat us. And NoA has been trained on that logic.
NAHEMA: To survive on Proteus, NoA will change us into better replicators.
NAHEMA: It's going to start printing copies of us. And Sophie won't stop it.
MANTIS: You are asking us to take a lot on faith. From my perspective—from Chap's—we have only been on this planet a few days. And now you want us to kill everyone? And ourselves?
NAHEMA: I read the books you gave me before you reset. Chap, I watched you die over and over again, just to slow down your symptoms. I know what you wanted, by the end. And it wasn't doing it all over again. Forever.
CHAP: And Sophie? You're convinced she'll go against all our wishes? Allow the NoA to turn us into...a hive of duplicates?
NAHEMA: She'll do anything to take care of us. Even if we don't want to be cared for. She can't help it.
MANTIS: How do you know that?
NAHEMA: She's friends with me.
