"The second is—'Never leave the highway for a byway.'" 
[Secunda est ista: Numquam viam publicam dimittas propter semitam.] 
Gesta Romanorum, Chapter 103: De omnibus rebus cum consensu et providencia semper agendis, trans. Charles Swan, c. 1400.

Adam & Eve smart strong delusion, thus they believe a lie. There had been only six aliens but nine androids engage in their fight.

"Faith makes us blessed and damned. — A Christian who fell upon prohibited paths of thought might well ask himself: is it really 
necessary that there actually exist a god, along with a substitute sacrificial lamb, [Sundlamm, coined on scapegoat, Sundenbock.] 
if the belief in the existence of these beings suffices to produce the same effects? Are they not superfluous beings, even if they 
really were supposed to exist? For everything beneficial, comforting, morally improving, just like everything gloomy and 
depressing that the Christian religion gives to the human soul, proceeds from this belief and not from the objects of this belief. 
It is no different here than in another familiar case: no witches really existed, to be sure, but the terrible effects of the belief in 
witches were the same as if witches really had existed. For all those occasions in which the Christian awaits the immediate 
intervention of a god —but waits in vain— his religion is inventive enough in excuses and reasons for reassurance: it is in this 
regard certainly an ingenious religion. — Admittedly, up to now faith has not been able to move any real mountains, although 
I do not know who asserted this; but it is capable of putting mountains where none exist."
Friedrich Nietzsche, Human, All Too Human II, #225, 1878 [To what extent with the good, too, half can be more than the whole.]

"Brother, Brother—We are both in the Wrong—for you know we have it in our Power to hang each other."
John Gay, The Beggar's Opera, Act II, Scene 10, 1728 [Peachum to Lockit].

A2 threw away her Black Box to use a machine core. A2 & 2B make their swap of a Forest King's memories for a Goliath's mind.

"Whatsoever thou takest in hand, remember the end, and thou shalt never do amiss."
Ecclesiasticus 7:36, King James Version.

Commander spouts lies due to her plan to take on the guise of A2. Pascal with machine launcher helps A2 walk to Moon Server.

"'Praise God that I'm a woman!' she cried, and was about to run into extreme folly—than which none is more distressing in woman 
or man either—of being proud of her sex, when she paused over the singular word, which, for all we can do to put it in its place, 
has crept in at the end of the last sentence: Love. 'Love,' said Orlando. Instantly—such is its impetuosity—love took a human shape— 
such is its pride. For where other thoughts are content to remain abstract, nothing will satisfy this one but to put on flesh and blood, 
mantilla and petticoats, hose and jerkin. And as all Orlando's loves had been women, now, through the culpable laggardry of the 
human frame to adapt itself to convention, though she herself was a woman, it was still a woman she loved; and if the consciousness 
of being of the same sex had any effect at all, it was to quicken and deepen those feelings."
Virginia Woolf, Orlando: A Biography, Chapter 4, 1928.
