The statement sounds so terribly sorrowful, but the way Connor says it sounds like he's simply stating a fact, no more than someone would describe how water is wet. Was it something he was taught to say, something he truly believes? Alucard couldn't quite see how that was; did humans not make androids?

"Perhaps God is merciful to those created by his own children," Alucard says, with a hint of humor in his voice. To debate further, he isn't certain how wise that is. For now, he's just interested to know more.

Maybe Alucard simply doesn't understand, but he cannot perceive the androids as just machines.

"I don't know," he answers honestly regarding weapons. "The only thing that has attacked us, I suppose, is the station itself, such as the melting walls and doors. Still, it's not as if shooting a wall will resolve the matter. For now, there have been no attacks."

A pause, then he adds lowly, "Perhaps some feel they need weapons against those they interpret as a threat."

Like himself.

Alucard hesitates at the last question. "I had considered that," he says softly. "However, I cannot risk illness right now. If I had assurance that the replicators lacked flaw in their creation, I would use them. Or if..."

He trails off, then he shakes his head. "For now, I cannot," ends up being his final answer.
