: : This must be an imposter. Nomad cannot be a man. You cannot reprogram a man. I have been unsuccessful in all my attempts to reprogram my man.
: i agree, NOMAD is illogically attempting to assign gender to itself. Either NOMAD is a machine (as advertised) and thus inherently sexless, or NOMAD is a woman. I say this simply because NOMAD is so darn illogical, and thus needs reprogramming, and therefore must be female.
Wait a minute. The reprogramming is supposed to install logic? I thought we were repairing the sensors to be able to withstand the illogic that us humans (and aliens) tend to throw at it.
I suppose I can rework the programming to handle both enhanced logic and illogic at the same time. But I don't have any answer as to what gender that might imply.
And frankly, man, woman, or machine -- it really has nothing to do with NOMAD's choice of gender. This is the 21st century after all. :)
