Chapter 105: The Purpose of it All
================================

Bollard went silent.

In his heart he already accepted Siva's words to be truth.

Psychological analysis of that event five decades ago regarding the Magus indicated that he had an unusual level of 'worship' towards The Teacher.

When they received the task of keeping that item in their care and developing said Panel Options Technology to attach to it, The Magus had been a really irritating individual who was so meticulous to the smallest of the tiniest details regarding the task.

Only when the mission was done that the Human Ambassadors at the time managed to get The Magus off their backs.

Higginson smiled and chuckled.

This did not escape the notice of the other people in the room. Their gazes spoke of that obvious question: what's so funny?

"I'm sorry, I just... to be honest, I don't think you are lying to us."

"President!"

"Do not be easily fooled, President."

There were many objections like this and so he can only calm them down by an explanation.

"Everyone, please calm down." He waved his hand and then looked at Siva straight in the eyes, "I only have a small request; can you describe to us how the Magus looked like?"

"Heh. Alright. Silvery blonde hair, imperious presence, a very short temper, and can appear and disappear instantaneously with a snap of his fingers."

The ambassadors all became quiet. Higginson bid him a smile and chuckled, "So you did meet him."

"Yes. And both times, he did not miss the chance to express his hate on me."

Higginson stared at him with seriousness, "Can you tell us why?"

Siva sharply met his gaze, albeit, under the cover of a mask. Still, Higginson narrowed his eyes as he felt the pressure from that gaze suppressing his being like an invisible weight.

Eventually, Siva heaved a sigh and closed his eyes so the pressure vanished.

"I'm sorry, it's just too personal to for me to tell it to anyone I do not fully trust yet."

Again, Higginson chuckled, "I won't force you."

"I appreciate the gesture."

Higginson clapped his hands once and then he straightened his back. "To business."

"To business." Siva seconded and the rest of the Ambassadors in the assembly were all left with no choice since the President had already agreed to proceed with the reason for this meeting.

"Going back to the things you requested, we do can't give you our Battle-AI technology. It is one of our race's lifelines and since you also have an advanced-AI in you, I could only wonder why you are still seeking our technology."

"It's a really simple matter, really," Siva sported a very leisurely disposition and waved a dismissive hand to the matter, "I only want to see what the differences my own AI has from your own."
