Now, a century after the War, the silicons have aquired sentience. They have will of their own. They have no difinite life-span and, until recent years, could not reproduce. They have advanced the science through trial-and-error, and have learned to create others of their own kind. Most Silicon's bear no ill-will toward the humans, and in this time of turmoil, they have even offered their support in the humans struggle with the Mech's and Genod's.
