Puppetmaster: »Before you ever knew me, I knew about you. I learned of Section 9 from the many nets you accessed.«
Motoko: »Is that why you ran to Section 9?«
PM: »I entered this body because I couldn't crack Section 6's attack protection. But I came to Section 9 of my own free will.«
Batou: »Hey! What are you saying?! I can't monitor you!«
M: »For what reason?«
PM: »After I give my reasons, I want to ask a favor of you. I called myself a life-form but I am still far from complete. For some reason, my system lacks the basic life processes of either death or the ability to leave behind offspring.«
M: »Can't you copy yourself?«
PM: »A copy is merely a copy. There's the possibility a single virus could utterly destroy me. A mere copy doesn't offer variety or individuality. To exist, to reach equilibrium, life seeks to multiply and vary constantly, at times giving up its life. Cells continue the process of death and regeneration. Being constantly reborn as they age. And when it comes time to die, all the data it possesses is lost leaving behind only its genes and its offspring. All defense against catastrophic failure of an inflexible system.«
M: »You want the variety needed to guard against extinction. But how will you get it?«
PM: »I wish to merge with you.«
