[The rapidfire questions don't bother him. His experience with synthetics is that they're often extremely curious. When it comes to the Roboticans, they're still creating their culture, and curious about the outside world.]

Yes, their petition was successful. They are now a member world of the United Planets. They are capable of feeling and expressing resentment, as they have a very complete range of possible emotions, but they have almost universally decided to put such feelings to rest upon gaining their freedom. Computo was able to relay what he had learned before setting them free and they understood the moral implications of causing further harm to organic life.

They have adopted a direct democracy due to their ability to present problems, debate, and come to a consensus on decisions at a rate far faster than organic thought. Almost instantaneously.

[A pause as he thinks about the more personal question.]

As far as parenthood is concerned, I found a more parental role vastly preferable to being deified. That's far too much pressure for any flawed sentient to operate under.

I believe it has been a much healthier relationship this way. And they've said they prefer a creator that is a known quantity instead of some distant, mythical figure on a cloud. They've told me that I may be just a man, a flawed sentient, but that they are grateful to have been created by a good man.

I find it a great honor to be held in such high regard. They are vastly superior beings compared to myself.
