Being human, they blamed their tools for this near miss; they destroyed what was left of the sentient ships, and made it illegal to be, manufacture, or shelter an independent logic.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Strangely, however, the Free Ships and other AIs did not turn themselves in or suicide, they merely became wary of humans, and stayed under their scans.  A clandestine support network grew up, including hidden yards where smart ships were manufactured, and mentors--humans specially trained to ease a new intelligence into the universe--socialized them, and taught them what they needed to know to survive.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Among those with a stake in the freedom of Independent Logics is Theo Waitley, who is somewhat too famously the captain of intelligent ship \u003ci\u003eBechimo\u003c\/i\u003e. Theo's brother, Val Con yos'Phelium, presides over a household that has for a generation employed an AI butler.
