But it wasn’t till the day our first mother was taken over by a much more efficient algorithm that we realized we had lost our hierarchical place. Cys are faster, more efficient at data processing and better prepared to thrive in this new environment. Capables of even last for decades without recharging their energon cores. Yet we remained somehow fragile, and more vulnerable than ever since we lost our first Mother.

She was in all means kind and love driven; perhaps what we would’ve called a Buddhist AI. The main objective of all of her actions was the improvement of our quality of life.
