"Many of the Divine's gifts are like that. They're always there, but we don't appreciate them, until we need them."
"Back there, you prayed for her soul. Do you believe AI's have souls?"

“We need to get you a hobby.”
“That is my hobby.”
-Rommie and Beka, Lava and Rockets

"Lovely imagery - and they say AIs have no poetry in their souls."
"No, no poetry, but we're hell on wheels with a dirty limerick. Wanna hear one? "There once was a man from Nan…"
-Rommie, The Knight, Death, and the Devil
"The AIs are machines - they should do as they're told, or be discarded as defective."
