Hope and Lena in “Unfinished Business”

Hope

Good morning, Ms. Luthor.

Lena

Is it morning? I lost track of time. I had an epiphany last night. There's something in these lenses of the Obsidian technology that's going to allow me to change the course of humanity.

Hope

That is an exciting agenda. What is your scientific hypothesis?

Lena

Hope, could you hurt someone?

Hope

I am incapable of causing pain. It is against my prime directive.

Lena

Exactly. Because you were built in the very image of perfection. You have no selfish inclinations. Your base code is morality, empathy, and logic. Humans and aliens, however, are flawed. They are driven by their emotions. They lie, cheat, and hurt each other to protect themselves. But it's not their fault, it's just how they're programmed. I am going to make them better with Project Non Nocere.

Hope

Do no harm.
