Schwi considered this request. It was dangerous to reveal that humans were potentially strong but this being claimed to be part human. How could that possibly be? She paused for a time and focused as much as she could on analysis of 13's body. Her eyes shifted, the features in her iris spun in place a clear indicator that she was in intense processing. Her insight told her that what he said seemed to be true, his smooth flesh-like features were in fact flesh and not some advanced polymer, metal alloy, or more primitive artificial construct made to look like flesh. A human somehow bonded with machine parts such that their spirits did not reject. This kind of magic was on the level of an Old Dei, she had never heard of a half-breed in intelligent lifeforms. Their spirits were normally incompatible and would reject one another.
Her eyes stopped spinning and Schwi continued, "I have determined that you are not lying to me." 13 tentatively answered, "Okay" Schwi said, "So... I will tell you. I am a Prüfer unit that specializes in analysis and decision-making. When I personally witnessed the survival of a human when probability indicated a 0.00003% chance of survival, I became interested in what allowed this to happen, what was wrong with this probability calculation. After exhaustive analysis of human culture, behaviors, and language already in my database I determined that the quality 'heart' could be responsible for this. I started analysis of the heart as humans understand it and due to errors produced by this I was disconnected from my cluster and the rest of Ex Machina permanently." Schwi paused for a moment as recalling all of this brought up all kinds of emotions that she had to suppress so to continue. "I continued my analysis of heart and approached my chosen research subject. After... extended research I concluded that I understood that heart comes from a human soul and that was what generated the errors in my processing and I had a soul since my initial analysis of the human's survival which had developed due to my extended research in how it works."
Before 13 could get a word in, Schwi concluded, "If you have a heart as well then you know that killing others hurts the heart. I do not want to hurt my heart, any more than you want to hurt yours. Please understand that this information should not be revealed to non-humans. It would be detrimental to the survival of humans who would be destroyed by the concentrated efforts of any other race.."
