What is the scariest thing that has ever happened to you?
Androids do not feel fear. We are made to react to situations calmly and reasonably.
However, that being said, I believe that I have felt an approximation to that emotion. The first time it occured, we had encounted a prototype Megadeus intent on using me as its operating system. Although Schwartzwald had already activated it, it had not responded to him except to defend itself from one it felt unworthy to touch it. As had happened with my sister, I had found myself irresistably drawn to it, even as I knew I had no desire to join with it. Had Roger not destroyed it, I would have been bound to it as a will-less puppet, giving it an unnatural life.
The second time I felt fear was while I was in the thrall of Beck Gold. He had usurped my programming and set me to kill Roger. The part of me that was still my self wanted to fight, to stop my mouth from saying things inappropriate to the situation, no matter how true they were. It was seeing Roger's life fading from his eyes and the cheapness of the equipment Beck had used that caused me to cease obeying Beck's orders.
These may only be approximations of human emotions, but to have a taste of such an irrational feeling is to wish never to experience it again.
