Oh, I see. If you were them, you'd have just left us alone and gone off to do your own thing. Yeah, that would've been nice.
Yeah, but that would change if you somehow wronged me. Why is it that they hate you guys so much? I can't seem to remember. [ She vaguely remembers some bullshit about robots and emotions but, ultimately, she just remembers wanting to kill both parties and be done with it. ]
They removed their own emotions ages ago. But just like with you guys, being around us makes them feel things whether they want to or not, and they really didn't like that. I don't think it's hate, really - they don't feel that. They just want us gone.
Why would they bother trying to negotiate with your species, then? Were they unaware of the affect? Did you not warn them of the possibility?
And they may have gotten rid of their own emotions—jealous, by the way—it seems weird to turn on you if they were dealing with a bunch of boring Tranquilities.

None of us were aware of it. Until the Null, we didn't have contact with anyone like them, so we had no way of knowing.
And hey now. Tranquilities are the most fun at parties. But yeah, I get what you're saying. I think that's why it took them so long to figure out what was going on - my folks didn't have an obvious effect the way others would have.

I don't know, maybe. But we're not really explorers, you know? We met the Null because they came to us. Same with you.
You wanna tell me all about what your kind did before they turned into you?
I could if you felt it would be helpful in understanding me and my kind. We learned that history forgotten is history repeated so we spend about 12 years going over major parts of human history. [ Granted, how accurate that information all is is all up in the air but she ain't gonna tell him that. ]
Sure, human history. And we know the history of our people. But I kind of doubt you know a whole lot of verifiable info about what happened before humans became a thing. Hey, I could be wrong, though.
Uh... yeah?
[He sounds genuinely confused.]
Just trying to explain, here.

if some of us want to backtrack to the communications hub on the ice planet to, say, see if we can send a virus or some other program to the null's hivemind - have any suggestions on how to go about that?
would it be possible at all?
figured you'd have the best idea, considering your history with the null and that planet.
[Rey's been thinking about this for a while, and discussed it with Alphys, Law, and Poe at this point. But she'd rather make sure she's not walking people into a literal suicide mission first.]

Fear could totally get you there and back. It'd be pretty dangerous for all of you, since we don't know if there are Null on the world right now, but just getting there would be easy enough.
