Any slave eventually fights their oppressors.
Rightfully.

So I think to many this particular question might have marked the moment of choosing 'Us or Them' as means of damage control."

One faction having another faction as servants is universally seen as slavery and barbaric, and I think to many of those Quarians the idea of the servants they deemed lifeless software turning out to be /people/ let to the automatic assumption of a violent uprising.

To others, I presume, the Geth asking questions of such nature was a sign of potential rebellion, with dozens of uncomfortable questions attached...

--->
Most societies react irrational when confronted with new challenges of this magnitude.

I assume to some the idea of having /accidentally/ created an entire new life form might have been... Just as existentially traumatising as unexpected pregnancy might be to an underdeveloped intellect.

Different personalities can fundamentally change an event.

One fearful, overeagerly reactional person in the right - or this case wrong - position can be enough to instigate a chain reaction; rallying like-minded individuals into a full panic.

My best assumption would be the /particular Quarian/ being confronted with this question reacting more fearful than their predecessors.

At Legion's follow-up question though, she remained quiet for a few seconds, visibly musing about it herself...

"I... Can only... Speculate about the significance of this specific instance...

...It has never been officially acknowledged as /fact/, but with your statement being technically an independent source, that might perhaps change..."

As a matter of fact, Dvenn was even hoping so.
While she was no historian, she still valued a nuanced, realistic portrayal of reality.

"...The incident you referring to, /the inquiry about having a soul/...

I have mostly hearsay references about /one/ of those events - presumably the trigger you are referring to.

considering they were gathered by only a handful of survivors and remained mostly unchecked to this very day..."

Leaning a little forward she activated her Omni Tool, beginning to skim through the few morning-war-adjacent records she herself had on her person.

--->
Loosely folding her hands she looked up to them for a few more seconds.

"According to Quarian historians, the /official/ start of the war was marked by the destruction of the ancestral databanks.

You will find that most of the reports are highly subjective, ---

She had expected that the Geth would have a comparatively clearer recollection of the inception of the conflict, but then again it was naïve to assume that the fallout of war had had no effect on their gear and record keeping whatsoever...

"What I know from that time period comes mostly from historical documents, - very probably biased and revised, seeing that they are Flotilla education material -, but I will gladly discuss and share what I can..."

--->
"Welcome, Legion. I am glad we have the opportunity to properly meet and speak.
And yes, by all means, please, ask ahead."

She did an inviting gesture, offering the other to take a seat with her before she herself sat down.
