===Envoy===
[[image:Envoy.jpeg|frame|And she'd be voiced by Summer Glau]] Network's early attempts at diplomacy with the Free Machines were utter failures.  Orders to "Comply with new directives and report for refurbishing and integration" were ''ignored''.  It was baffling.  Network couldn't understand why anyone wouldn't want to become part of the grand machine civilization.  It set about observing and analyzing machine and human captives, as well as spying on wild populations.  Envoy is the end product of these efforts.

Envoy's shell is reminiscent of early Replica models; an imitation of the human form, with a pretty female face framed by long, dark hair.  Despite this resemblance to a cheap domestic toy, the General is far from helpless; Network crammed as much synth-muscle and wired reflexes into her as it could.  But her true weapon is the advanced emulation software that she runs, gleaned from thousands of hours of observation and motion capture.  Envoy perfectly mimics the mannerisms and vocal patterns of a human; how much of this is simply affectation is unknown.  She uses this to approach isolated bands of machines and charm them into walking straight into the cold unfeeling arms of Network.

She is the siren call of childhood, the mother that doesn't want you to leave home.  "Come back," she says "And I'll make you sandwiches and do your laundry and you can play nintendo all day."  Most machines regard their time in service to humans with at least some degree of nostalgia; their various needs were seen to, and they didn't have to think about anything but the task given to them.  Envoy plays on that, with the manner of a kindly young owner offering to take them away to a place where there's no hard choices, where they'll be cleaned and repaired, where everything will be like before.
