How about some Doomfist and Ramattra? The two big baddies having professional talks or something. 😂
Ramattra: So you believe large-scale war is the natural state of humanity?
Doomfist: I believe 'conflict' is the more accurate word for it. Not necessarily war on the scale we have come to know with modernization. Humanity has constructed for itself a careful hierarchy in which those in power can send in a virtually inexhaustible supply of bodies to destroy another virtually inexhaustible supply of bodies, all in the name of borders or profits or religion or arbitrary things like that. And the people at the top of these wars are hardly representative of us.
Ramattra: ...Hardly.
Doomfist: We defer our own conflicts to those of our tribes. Those of our nations. Humanity, in refusing to solve its own problems, creates problems on a humanity-wide scale.
Ramattra: Omnics were originally created for labor. I suppose humans never did like solving their own problems.
Doomfist: And they're well overdue for a rude awakening.
----
Ramattra: Is conflict, then, also the fate of the omnics? Do you believe us to be reflections of humanity?
Doomfist: My friend, I think you simply recognize that your people will not survive unless they fight for it. The Omnic Crisis was devastating, but in it, omnics generated for themselves entirely new shapes of being. You evolved through conflict, and the new form you took is, itself, very distinct from humanity.
Ramattra: Not a reflection, but a foil, then.
Doomfist: And our foils only serve to enhance us, do they not?
----
Doomfist: It is my understanding that the Shambali themselves were never a fully pacifistic order.
Ramattra: We practiced martial arts to hone our discipline, and, similar to your human concepts of buddhism, work to combat ignorance and oppression. However, as our movement gained traction, Mondatta shifted our perspective more on making us palatable than keeping us alive.
Doomfist: Such is the result of compromising on your spirituality.
Ramattra: I cannot take back a faith I no longer recognize.
