Mangolf disliked interrogations of digital persons. Sure, legally they were second class citizens and could be shoved around if necessary, but that didn't stop the uneasy feeling when you talk to someone who in essence is just a few lines of code...
Christine Ch 5

Indebted - Part 4 (SFW version)
I was taken out from bed, the iv port and all my other wires removed, putting an end to my time as a transhuman, a person improved through machines. no, i now had to go back to facing real life. "how much is the bill?" black-arms asked.
