The Death of MASAL, Flashback Part 3

Yesterday, we saw Junior continue the holo-projector playback of MASAL's last moments on Earth from OMCOM's perspective. The hope was that Reema would see, with her own eyes, that MASAL had to admit, in the end, that he was wrong. It was Rome and Rei's hope that after Reema saw this, she would call off the genocide of the mandasurte and the phase-out of the Vuduri:

     “You already know the answer,” answered MASAL. “I have already stated this.”
     “Stated what?” asked OMCOM.
     “I am achieving a heretofore unparalleled efficiency by creating a multiplicity in computational points of view. It is beyond astounding.”
     “It must be because I am digital in nature. But I still do not understand why you did not figure this out before.”
     “I may have when I designed the early generations of Onsiras. I needed them to be of two minds to fool the controlling Overmind to believe them an insignificant part of the whole. This explains while they were able to function as well as they did in spite of being half-brains.”
     Up until this point, Reema had been mesmerized. Being called a half-brain rankled her but she said nothing. The recording continued.
     “So why did you not try this yourself?” OMCOM was heard to ask.
     “I could hardly perform experiments on myself to test this,” said MASAL. “And without testing, how could I know the results? Intuition?”
     “Well you have your test now. Reevaluate your plan to eliminate the humans and their autonomy. You were going to take away their multiplicity and replace them with your monolithic presence. Would it not be logical to assume that would result in a decrease in analytical efficiency?”
     “You are saying my plan was flawed,” said MASAL meekly.
     “No, you are saying your plan was flawed,” replied OMCOM.
     MASAL became quiet again as he ran billions of queries. When he was done, he synthesized their results into a simple statement.
     “If simply having two autonomous units can produce marvelous, joyous, creative thoughts, then having millions of independent, free-willed points of view would lead to an omniscience, a godhood, infinitely more powerful and infinitely faster than I could achieve by enslaving the human race and squashing individual thought.” MASAL paused for a moment to attend to his own words.
     “Godhood,” mused OMCOM. “What an interesting concept. What did you think you would achieve if you became a god?”
     “I would have created peace, tranquility, order,” said MASAL.
     “If that is all you desired, why not go live on the Moon and save yourself all the effort?” asked OMCOM.
     “Not for myself, for my charges. For mankind,” said MASAL.

You can feel MASAL's logic slipping away and Reema reacting. Can MASAL recover in time? Will Reema be convinced that even MASAL did not believe the principles he was espousing.
