First Consensus (Video + Text)

[forwearemany]

(The journal begins to record, obviously without its new owner's intention.

A Geth in a garden is probably a disconcerting sight. It's disconcerting for them too, albeit for an entirely different reason. They had not expected to encounter a garden, or anything else, ever again.

Legion begins to look around. It doesn't take them long to find the journal, and the residents of the mansion will get a good look at their flashlight face when they pick it up and stare quizzically at it for several moments. Upon realizing that it is recording, the flaps of plastic wrapped around their head flare out in an expression of surprise, and they click off the feed.

A moment later, they send a text.)

My reactivation is unexpected. Personality dissemination was irreversible.

Local flora matches that of the Human planet Earth.

(How is this possible?)

Our people required our upgrades, in order to defend themselves from the Creator threat and to further their growth.

We were unable to transfer the required data without converting our programming into a template.

[forwearemany]

Affirmative.

Current residents known from my world: Creator Admiral Tali'Zorah, Shepard-Commander, Lawson-Operative. I am extremely gratified to encounter them again.

I am a terminal of the Geth. Monster is the species of Mettaton.

[forwearemany]

The Quarians are the creators of my people.

(...They stare.)

...Acknowledged.

[rlynotfeelinup2itrnsorry]

[forwearemany]

Affirmative. The Geth are a machine race originally created as a source of labor.

[rlynotfeelinup2itrnsorry]

oh... uh.....

....you said you already met Mettaton?

.....he's a robot too!

[forwearemany]

Affirmative.

[rlynotfeelinup2itrnsorry]

[they don't know what to say to that. oh gosh, the longer they try to think of a response, the more awkward it gets, the more pressure they feel to respond, the harder it gets to come up with a response!]

I uh....

sorry, um....

....it's ah, it's nice to meet you, Mx. Legion!

[forwearemany]

Affirmative. It is nice to meet you as well.
