So you value communication that heavily, to risk the plan by doing that.

I don't belittle that. After all, My own tendency towards action has been criticized before.

If I had told them upfront, to try to convince them of my point of view... they could have still rejected me as the end. And in that situation, it's entirely possible I could have been killed before anything started, as I would be an "enemy of humanity" or at very least I would lose my chance to kill one or two to make the wager easier to complete.

[transmittable]

and we won't discount that point. however, if like you we were close with some of the braves, we would hope our bonds would prevent them cutting us down without considering and trying to find a plan that would save as many as possible.

though our point of view and yours are fundamentally different. we've looked at things one way for so long that an altered point of view is something we find hard to comprehend.

[nachetanya]

If you're only seventeen, is that possible? Were you raised by the Risen?

[transmittable]

no, i wasn't. i wound up with them because of choices i made.

[nachetanya]

Is this why you have a question mark after seventeen?

[transmittable]

that's a complicated thing to explain. i'd rather not go into it.

[nachetanya]

Alright.

Do you feel more like a more serious conversation after all this, or would levity be nice?

[transmittable]

it's fine. you said you had some questions last we talked, and i've kept you waiting on those long enough.

[nachetanya]

[ It's true, she did, in those hours after all the trial was done. It's been some days. She closes her eyes, focuses, and then opens them to type back ]

Are these none of these games running right now except for ours?

[transmittable]

we can't answer that. by that we mean we literally can't. we don't know.

[nachetanya]

Can you answer if it seems likely to you?

Or if there have been ones in the past you or the Risen have been involved with?

[transmittable]

we're familiar with them.

it seems more likely than not there are others. a 75% chance, if you need a number.

[nachetanya]

Are you confirming that he Risen nor you have ever run one of these before?

[ . . . Ah, actually. ]

Or been involved in some other way?

[transmittable]

we're confirming we're familiar with them.

that's all.

[nachetanya]

Will you deny those other suggestions, then?

... I understand some answers are impossible, but I hope you understand my need to try.

[transmittable]

we do understand.

this is just something we'd prefer not to talk about.

[nachetanya]

If we discover more things and can present them to you, can you see a situation where you most past that uncomfortableness ?

You did say Rule 4 exists for a reason when you first appeared, which means that there is things to find in this hospital.

[transmittable]

we can and it does. but you are a long ways off from that.

[nachetanya]

We are, yes.

Actually, that's another question. You've said that's "how things are done" fairly often, or said that once the first murder happened that more will. Or now, when you've said we're a long way off...

Are you following some sort of script?

[transmittable]

that's a good question, isn't it?

[nachetanya]

I thought so! I'm glad you agree.

[transmittable]

we don't know if "script" is the right word, but there are rules and you have to follow them, and there are rules that we have to follow as well.

[nachetanya]

Does that mean you didn't make the rules? ... Or well, the Risen, even.

[transmittable]

they're our rules now.

that's all we'll say on this line of questioning, assertive.

[nachetanya]

Alright. Thank you for answering my questions as best you felt able, and I hope you will in future too.
