: But why build complicated simulacrums at all, if they don't think in those
: terms? Much simpler to build a bunch of M2-style drones if your only
: objective is killing.
: Speaking of M2, the Pfhor-bureaucracy terminals there show a chronic lack of
: effective communication. Applying this back to Unpfhorgiven, I like to
: think that a Pfhor research department wanted more humans for study, and a
: combat unit scooped up some groups already infiltrated by simulacrums. The
: idea of the Pfhor spending effort to design simulacrums, locate pockets of
: human resistance, and carefully plant their weapons, only to have them
: brought straight back to a Pfhor lab by a different group, seems perfectly
: consistent with the story.
This is sounding more and more like Terry Gilliam's Brazil. :)
