[Jennifer must not know about Daneel then, which is not necessarily surprising, given how careful Daneel is about it, but it is interesting, considering that they're crewmates.]
The technology is relatively new for us, and it's something many people struggle with. And I know how terrifying it is when things do go wrong with an AI. One of my friends at home, who is an android, had to make the tough decision to deactivate his brother after he attacked the Federation. So the danger is something I take seriously - especially if someone like Atroma is involved - but artificial lifeforms deserve the same sort of consideration we'd give any organic being.
[Then she reaches over and rests her hand on Jennifer's, the prickliness subsiding.] I also know if you met someone like my friend, you would never do anything to purposely hurt them, so I apologize if I am... defensive. It's not a reflection on you.
