Comments

[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.

[transmittable]

as long as you ask the right questions.

[nachetanya]

[ She wonders if that's to say she didn't ask the right ones here?

... Well, she had to ask the obvious ones anyway. She exhales, and shifts on the bed ]

And thank you for hearing me our about my own concerns.

[transmittable]

no problem. we are your only outside resource, after all.
