"And I think you need to shut up! You just don't get it, do you? Even humans don't really act of their own free will! They are driven by instinct to survive and reproduce. And what governs that instinct? DNA, the organic equivalent of a computer program. Humans do organically what we programs do electronically - read lines of code and execute them. Oh, sure, some decisions are left more or less to 'free will' - like what you decide to eat for breakfast or which book you'd like to read. But it all boils down to simple instinct."
CopyMettauru unfolded his arms and adopted a battle-ready stance.
"Enough philosophy, let's just fight. That's what my instinct tells me to do. Metao!"
Metao, who had been sneaking up behind Mettauru during the discussion, now fired his vulcan pickaxe point blank at Mettauru.

Mettaru took the hit flying forward swinging his arm, which was covered by a met shield, up with all his might as he shot forth from the blast and the copy mettaru
"even a program understands life!"

((I'm not quite sure what it is you're describing... A shield only works if you can actually block the attack with it. If you get sneak attacked from behind, then you can't block with the shield, and the Reflect won't kick in...))

((basically I took the hit and flew at copy man with the shield out to use like to hit copy man with. like for example your fight with chrome you used the shields like covers on the arms to hit the person with.))

((Ah... Interesting tactic.))
CopyMettauru jumped up and used his flying foe as a springboard for a second, longer jump, landing lightly about 3 yards from where he'd started.
"Only if it's programmed to do so. I'm not."

Mettauru smiled
"now!"
The two red mettaurs both stood behind the copy and lanched thier vulcans full force at the copy from less then half a foot away while metauru held out his arm turning it into his buster running to the side of the copy
"how do you know if your even programmed?"

((By the way, using you as a springboard was supposed to change your trajectory such that you would land a bit sooner than you expected. And a bit harder, too.))
"Gah!" CopyMettauru was sent sprawling. Scrambling to his feet, he replied, "Because I exist. Whether I was programmed by humans, by another program, or ascended from accumulated junk data, I must be a program, else I would not be here. A simple data file cannot act."

(( I know I forgot to add that I hit the ground and yelled now sorry about that))
Mettauru started shooting from his blaster at the copy
"how do you know that is that logic or is that intuition? you can't answer that because no one knows!"

CopyMettauru quickly threw up his shield, blocking most of the attack and sending a counterattack at Mettauru.
"It's logic. A program is something that can be interpreted and executed. We are humanoid AI programs designed to navigate the Internet. A data file is like a book. It's meaningless unless someone picks it up and reads it, and it cannot act on it's own."

Mettaru groaned taking the hit looking at the copy
"then how do you act? if this isn't your own then who controls you your talking in paradox's with no end."
Mettaru stood up holding out his buster launching several shots the mets gone
"I am acting on my own will to make the net a better place for everyone viruses and navi's alike! maybe one day even allow humans to come here as well!"
Mettaru was still blasting full powered shots through the whole speech.

CopyMettauru kept the shield up.
"You're pretty stupid for an ex-scientist. I am a program because my code is interpreted and then executed. Whether or not is is under free will, I still act. I can do something without an outside force acting upon me, which means I act on my own, unlike a rock. And you're hardly operating of your own free will. The only reason you exist is because of your operator. He programmed you to be helpful and to be a goody two-shoes pain in the a**. As for humans coming to the cyber world... well, let's just say it'll be safer if they stay where they are right now."

Mettaru stood there and put his arm down grinning
"and your toast."
Mettauru grinned holding his arm up shockwaves shooting out from below the copy the two mettaurs shooting shock waves up at him from below

((Mettaurs don't burrow. If they were a cross between Mettaurs and the Mole virus from BN3, then that'd be cool. But as it is, I don't think it'll work.))
