“Oh, most assuredly. The memories I’ve given her have no emotions attached to them; that’s deliberate. If we gave her knowledge and told her what to think about that knowledge, well, that’s something that we consider to be very, very bad.” “Why’s that?” “Some guy tried to do that a long time ago. Here on Earth, actually. He tried to make people agree with him by changing their memories; tried to make an army for himself. He could add in memories that made people remember him saving their lives. They could remember agreeing to do what he said, forever and ever. His problem was that, since the memories had no emotions attached to them, they were free to question them. He could tell them what to remember, but not what to think or feel about those memories. Not at first, anyway.” “What happened?” “Eventually, he got caught – and was dealt with.” There was a note of finality in the machine’s voice. “Anyway, she’s also determining what she wants to look like, though she can change at any time.”
