Line 5:
* 'Kay, so the Fabrication Machine is an AI, and presumably has an internal power source, and the stitchpunks are homunculi, powered by {{spoiler|the shards of The Scientist's human soul}}, but what powers all the beasts that the Fabrication Machine makes?
** ...Alchemy. That's all I can think of, considering every other machine-beast was killed without a power source being revealed. Also, they could as well keep on working instead of "die". chopping off the head of the Cat Beast shouldn't stop it, unless it had a central processing or power unit in it, and it apparently didn't(as the head itself didn't keep alive after being cut).Thus it's not far fetched to suppose they just are "alive".
* Each being {{spoiler|a different piece of the Scientists's soul}}, it's not hard to see why they are all different. It still bugs me, though, that 3 and 4 are [[Single -Minded Twins]] and 7 is female. Actually, 7 bugs me most, how come?
** Well, every man has a feminine side and every woman has a masculine side. Isn't actually all that shocking. The twins... maybe they were just made at the same time? Or it has to do with them being gloves.
*** Oh, they're gloves! Yeah, I guess that explains a lot. ^^ 7 still bugs me, though, because she seems distinctively female. If that's the case, then none of the other 8 have "feminine sides", which I guess they still do...
Line 43:
** It used the souls as a power source. It does not gain any of their conscience.
* Who looked at the Fabrication Machine, after it apparently killed at least 2 soldiers, and said "Oh yeah this is an awesome idea, let's put it in charge of making an army of death machines, with no way to turn it off in case it goes rogue"? Do they have no sense of self-preservation or any paranoia? Is it just me or did that thing look absolutely evil before they stuffed it in the giant harness-thing?
** That's the problem with making ''any'' artificial intelligence self-replicating. If we ever end up making [[Artificial Intelligence]] in [[Real Life]], we'll hopefully have learned enough from [[Speculative Fiction]] to ''not'' put it into a Von Neumann machine. Also, in the alternate version of the machine, it just looked panicked instead of angry. I guess [[Viewers Areare Morons]] when it comes to interpreting the line of thought of a machine.
*** Among other things who looked at the idea for a machine that consumes human souls and uses black magic as a power source and not see a problem with it? That seems like a pretty big design flaw.
** Guys, I don't think the problem is that it's capable of killing its masters, the problem is that that was just about the first thing it did, and they still thought "yes, let's give this machine that has ALREADY killed two of us a robot factory".
