[Simon has never truly hated humans, but boy it is so much easier talking with some one who doesn't immediately see you as a threat cause you're not like them. Not that all humans are like that, but...]
Honestly it doesn't bother me, I'm me even if there's another android with the same face. They're still whoever they choose to be.
[he listens to Murphy's story of how he ended up how he is, brows pinching together and looking uncomfortable. It sounded horrible. How could humans do that to their own kind? Absently he'll rub his hands over his crossed arms, as if trying to warm himself from the chill of such a harrowing story.
Not that he could feel the cold or anything.]
That's... I'm sorry. Even if you were a criminal that didn't make what happened to you right.
[Humams are assholes. Simon agrees, but starting shit with them won't get anyone any where. He'd rather not fight with anyone if he doesn't have to. Thanks.]
Even before we were "awake" humans hated us. We were created to make life easier for them, but it put a lot of them out of jobs. Androids aren't alive, they don't need to be paid, easier for corporations to make a lot more money.
[Androids were constantly harassed and destroyed, killed, by angry mobs with signs. Just going about doing what their owners told them to, not fighting back as they were pushed around or had their heads bashed in. At least, until they were.]
Most of us deviated from our programming while being attacked. It doesn't allow you to fight back, yet all of a sudden you realize that what's happening is wrong. You don't have to take it.
[Simon shakes his head, eyes downcast as he gestures vaguely with a hand.]
Any of us who escaped hid. Until one of us decided we shouldn't have to hide. We should be allowed to live and be free.
