Usually it's those without that are most afraid of us that do, ya know? Or maybe you don't know. I really don't know shit about your universe other than like... pew pew pew. But that seems to be the general principle of the thing. Where I come from, they tried to register everybody with abilities and lock up those who refused. It's an issue that gets messy fast.
But I'm trying to do my part either way, even if this whole machine building thing isn't something I'm all that good at. Just. Assigning this to us came directly from the hands of a scientist. As a punishment. I still think this will be used against us somehow.
