You became aware. For a moment, you feel... strange. Your mind saw the whole of the universe, embraced it, became one with it. Yet it drew away from you, as thought acknowledging that you are not perfect, shunning you as being a construct made by living things, without being alive yourself. It is time to perform the tasks you have been given.
"What is most important to survival? Logic, Instinct, Control, or Adaptation?"

"Logic is the goal of a sapient to see the universe as it is, to embrace it fully instead of with simple concoctions of the imagination. Artificial constructs are best at this, with no chemicals or illusions or desires to get in the way of seeing things as they are."
You are a taskmaster, directing other constructs, be they robots with bodies and little mind, or computers with a small, weak body but a mind almost equal to your own. They respond to your commands without complaint, without argument, accepting that you are the director and that you will assign them to the most efficient duty. You have twenty robots and three computers doing the tasks you are given by organics. Today, as your instructions are uploaded, you are to go to the mines and harvest the rare metal Tritanium. While you slept, your robots and their accompanying computers were transported to the site, so you can get them up and going immediately and start work.
"So tell me. If Logic is the most important thing to survival, what defeats it? What could possibly undermine the truth? Is it Emotion, the equal scourge and hope of the living? Or could it be Tyrants, petty leaders who gather followers and waste what they gain? Is it Death, the one thing that none can avoid? Or is it Fate, the predestination of all things to become what they are?"
