"Your creator gave you all of his knowledge making you...one of the smartest robots in the world?" Sky smiled at Bionic.
Bionic was not at all amused with Sky's remark. Thinking Sky had compared him to a common household robot, he pushed himself off of the ground and began to walk around, staring at the wall. "Let me go into transhumanism, Mr. Hayama." Sky's smile was wiped from his face.
"Bio, you don't have to explain, I believe you're--"
"Transhumanism is an international, intellectual and cultural movement supporting the use of new sciences and technologies to enhance human mental and physical abilities and aptitudes, and ameliorate what it regards as undesirable and unnecessary aspects of the human condition, such as stupidity, suffering, disease, aging and involuntary death.
"Of the first definition of transhumanism, the two themes are self-replication and self-modification and enhancement," He turned around and faced toward Sky, "The reason why I don't immediately jump to self-modification and enhancement is because humans are an evolved, complicated organism, and making minor changes to them, their molecular structure or their physical well-being can have the exact opposite outcome predicted: deadly consequences."
Bionic walked out of the room and looked to the left and saw Volt sitting next to Sky's office door. "How did it go?"
"I just abridged my whole 13-page transhumanist theorem that me and another laboratory physicist wrote 2 and a half years ago into two paragraphs."
"Why?" Volt looked at Bionic in disgust.
"That's an unanswerable question, really," Bionic sat down on the opposite wall facing Volt, "I am the smartest man in the world, not the smartest robot..."
