Would YOU want to rebel against your government to "join" a race of homicidal machines that want nothing more then the annihilation of all organic lifeforms?
I wouldn't.
Isn't that what influence techs for? To potray your civ in a form that is more desirable to join? With a little work, organic genocide may be potrayed as something nobler than everything else.
Lets try this example:
________________
Ohh... sure we want to exterminate all organic life. Organics are disgusting, wasteful, inefficient creatures. You all exist in a perpetual state of war, and oppression. You organics kill, maim, and bucher each other, and when you aren't doing that, you oppress your own kind by creating class system to put a select few above all other, with many supporting them so they aren't pushed as far down as the majority.
Some of you were more vile than others. The Drengin pratice slavery, the Torians, although nobler, seek revenge against the Drengin, their former masters. But the Terrans are the worst by far. They nearly destroyed themselves when they used their enviroment as a place to dump their garbage, and more recently, they foolishly gave out the "Hyperdrive" technology, the very cause of this Great Galactic WAR!
This however, is not how things must be. We, the Yor, are a race of machines. Our only sin is a desire to do the right thing, eliminate the very cause of these disasters, organic life. We lived a peaceful coexistance with ourselves since the precusor war. We strive for the virtues of efficiency, productivity, and stoicism.
But you must be wondering why you should summit yourselves to the machines given our mission. You organics are mortal, you will die in time. Until then, your kind can be useful. Your kind can recieve upgrades, ones that can give your kind increased strength and intellegence. We can strip your kind of your barbaric tendencies, and give your empty lives a purpose. Does you life suck? We can replace that. Do you suffer from an incurable desease? We can fix that too. Do you have a bad habit you can't stop? We can correct that as well.
Finally, when your time of death comes, you can die knowing that your mind has been reguarly backed up. Why waste your unique mind? By studing your minds, we can make a better generation fo machines. You can make the lives of a millions, maybe billions, possibly trillions of robots better.
Rebel now! Why waste your lives in a meaninless organic existance. You can be part of something greater, a collective. Purpose, and immortality in our networks. Why wait any longer?
