It is a sickening thought, even to men like the twins.

You just cannot live without a daemon. All they can think of is an army of dead men and women marching as slaves to an overlord from a distant world. One they had no hope of conquering.

Upgraded. But dead.

For all that they most desperately desire privacy from each other [the source of their discomfort and why Gordon was envied as he was], to be separated from their daemons is utterly unthinkable.

"How many survived the onslaught of the Combine?"

And should they worry? If they're extra-dimensional they can find the twins' own world, too.
