    Queen threatened to kill him if he didn't assist the xenos. He was kidnapped and brought to the hive.

    Observed during this. its obvious this is just a salt report now, queen threatened to kill the synth if he didn't comply, synth helped marines by getting defcon and never assisted xenos. Please put this thread in acid goop where it belongs

    Synths are completely capable of roleplaying a "spokesperson" for xenomorphs if the alternative is to be literally killed, because they have a directive for self-preservation. What do you expect will happen? They refuse and get killed? Now that doesn't make sense for a synth either. They don't have emotions but their objectives can be compared to emotions, avoiding death etc. I will never be vouching for every synth - xeno interaction to result in combat either, because roleplay > combat is priority for synthetic whitelist. Also synthetics don't know that marines are even coming, so your example is literally admitting metagaming. Also yes hiding in a locker, peak gameplay for people who spend the effort applying for a whitelist.

    Denied, based on testimony of multiple people. Kyra did nothing wrong.

    Now just a shitposter and lurker.
