Thanks for the kind words! I wanted to make sure that I mentioned that this particular Lord wasn't necessarily a fan of always being connected to hundreds of minds, I think for me it worked out as being both a character choice and helped lend credence to his ability to keep his mind away from his fellow bot. Some of my stances on chronological time for non-biologicals I steal from what I find interesting in Vampire fiction and I like the idea of the immortal that has other things to do, but is so bound to tradition they can be seen actually using large swathes of human time for *politeness*
