"They're a hive mind of inorganic humanoids. ...Living robots. Their claim to fame, besides being incredibly obnoxious to anyone they meet, is producing the Brainiac line - Brainiac I was all into the whole genocide, 'humans are insignificant worms' thing. Brainiac V is fine, though, for a given definition of fine. He's on the team and off the hive mind; we like him even if he's way too cynical for his own good."

This from Little Miss Snark herself.

"...Anyway. I guess that's enough Q&A for the moment." A slight pause. "We should probably talk about the whole 'can't lie' thing, unless you had any burning questions you wanted to ask me. I've totally been abusing it."
