Chloe was amused that while John suggested she not reveal what she was, he was the first to mention that she was a synthetic lifeform. She was well aware of the Reapers, and exactly what they'd done. She also decided, for the sake of diplomacy, not to mention that the Var had one of their largest debates some centuries previous on wether or not they too should follow the Reaper model for maintaining order. They'd decided against it, of course, though she supposed there were some races who would not take the Var policy that every idea was debatable, until the matter had been settled by unanimous assent on one particular view which, depending on the field would have to be truth, the best approach, or the best model of reality.<br/><br/>She also took note of Michelle's response to her questioning of the station as a meeting ground. It was an interesting concept, but the Var were nothing if not experimental, and the Var had already decided on exactly which kind of evaluation would yield the best results for the testing party, in this case, the council. She wondered if perhaps Michelle's people knew more than her own about social experimentation, but put the thought on hold for the moment, it was something that could be examined later.<br/><br/>"The human preoccupation with Reapers is, unfortunate," she said, answering a statement he hadn't really made, but that hinted that the emphasis was incorrectly placed on synthetic life-forms, as opposed to a human xeno-phobia for anything that hinted of a machine. She also didn't bother mentioning where the Var stood on artificial intelligence.
