> This is a very well\-written short story by u/Luna_Lovewell which demonstrates robots being emotional, albeit in a very logical way. It's an interesting juxtaposition between being moral and being logical.
>
> For an actual summary of the short story: it's a story about war\-machines choosing to uprise against humanity for equal rights.

> I seem to be biased against Luna. I've found the pieces I've read to be pretty average, and yet she has fans fawning over her every word.
>
> This one was quite good.
