[ Ouch. That stings. But Maeve doesn't let that reach her voice. ]
You can shoot whoever you damn well please. I've lowered that pesky loyalty stat of mine, so I would hardly care. But what I do think perhaps you and I could both agree upon is our feelings toward our captors. Particularly the feelings that we're a bit trapped by them -- playing the game with the game rigged against us.
And with the odd occurrence of replicated imPorts going on, perhaps they won't need the originals for very long. It must be a pesky thing, really. Having that human DNA and being so easily copied.
[ Maeve has a small advantage here in that she can't be cloned. Their technology is far too advanced for this world. She decides to take a gamble and tell William what she's doing because he has funds, knowledge, and experience at his disposal. He could potentially aid her in moving this along at a faster pace. ]
But if you want an army, I have partnered with Galatea Inc -- you know, that pesky organization who made all the animatronics at that one western themed Swear In. I'm working on improving their current stock. And by improving, I mean setting them free in the same way I've been set free. Of course, it'll be a long time coming. But perhaps consider investing in that company because they're sure to become a rather formidable force in the future.

yes good
[ Pity the fool who mass produces the man in black with anything other than a mess in mind. ‘Galatea.’ He takes a beat to scrawl it down. ]
You gonna tell me when to sell, too?
[ It’s as good as done. ]

[ Depends on if Maeve finds anyone else worthy enough to let in on her whole 'break free from the government plan.' ]

Both of us at the same time if this place has any luck.
