"Yes, Your Majesty. Our contact with the Chiss has not been pleasant. They are extremely wary of our arrival... However, on a barren planet without any major colonies, we discovered an exiled Chiss. The captain of the exploration team brought him back."

"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Remember this: exploring the Unknown Regions is of vital importance. No matter what, I need an answer!"

The Geth had originally been mechanical servants produced by the Quarians, a civilized race that lived in the Unknown Regions. The Quarians had a small population, so they made extensive use of the Geth as laborers and even soldiers. They had indeed worried that the Geth might break free of control, so they imposed numerous restrictions on them. The Geth's core programming was VI rather than AI.
As VI units, the Geth did not possess the tremendous intelligence of AI. Instead, they could only work according to the simplest and most direct commands. To make better use of them, the Quarians gave the Geth collective computing capabilities—when there was only a single Geth unit, its intelligence was no better than that of a beast driven solely by instinct. But when more complex work was required, the Quarians linked more Geth together, enhancing their computational power and allowing them to carry out more complicated actions.
However, as the Geth came into increasingly widespread use, more and more of them were connected to the network. Without the Quarians realizing it, vast numbers
