That's how it is between Umbrella and myself as well, at least nowadays. Perhaps that's why the 'former' is there in my occupation - after all, if our goals came to pass, I would have no reason to remain at my station.

That's what I'm going to choose to believe for now, I think. Until other explanations present themselves.

Do your goals truly involve seeing us alive, at the end of all of this?

[transmittable]

it does sound similar. we would like to part ways, genuinely.

they do. i told amiable last night that he may not like them, nevertheless. but they do leave you alive.

[enhancements]

It's less that I genuinely care about parting ways with Umbrella one way or another, and more that I think we'll be...incompatible, after everything is over. But the sentiment is similar, I suppose.

In what way won't we like these goals of yours...? Or can you not tell me?

[transmittable]

i can't. i know none of you really like hear
"it's just how things are"
but it's just how things are.

[enhancements]

There's a reason I tend to ask you if you can or can't answer, you know.

Sometimes things are what they are. Because protocol dictates that they are, or because circumstances do, or because really, we don't get a say in this situation one way or another and things can just be that way because you've decided that it's so.

I'm not going to be angry with you if your answer is occasionally "I can't tell you," in other words. There's no point in it.

[transmittable]

phew. well then, my answer is "that's how it is." for one of those above reasons, or for another reason you haven't listed.

[enhancements]

That's fair.

Although, with regards to how things are - I assume that Rule 1 is accurate? The one that states that our needs will be provided for, to the best of your ability. That's entirely true, correct?

[transmittable]

it is. if there's something you need, we'll try to get it to you, if we can.

[enhancements]

I may make some requests of you eventually, then. Assuming that one of my theories is correct.

You may not like them; it's difficult to say. But I imagine that's only fair, given the circumstances.

[transmittable]

entirely fair, yes.
you can request whatever you think is necessary, though we can't guarantee you'll get them. make whatever explanations you can, though, and you may. it all depends.

[enhancements]

I'll keep it as reasonable as possible. More for my own sake than yours, granted, but the fact stands.

[transmittable]

of course. we're not under the impression that correspondence with you is anything more than it is.

[enhancements]

And what are you assuming it is? For curiosity's sake.

[transmittable]

someone in a new place seeking whatever answers he can, and using the mode of contact as a way to sort through the confusing situation. or something along those lines. you're doing this for you, and we understand that.

[enhancements]

There hasn't been a single thing I've done that isn't for me in some way, and I prefer it that way.

I'm not interested in making friends here, and that includes any correspondence I may have with you. That much is entirely true. At the same time, I'm not interested in being on entirely negative terms with you, either.

[transmittable]

that's understandable. you aren't the first to express that sort of sentiment. honestly, we're more surprised by those who don't.

[enhancements]

It's counterproductive to do otherwise, isn't it?

[transmittable]

when there's someone in charge, you want to stay on their good side, but not get TOO friendly. we understand the ones who are more hostile, but the others are confusing.

[enhancements]

In what way?

I'm not asking for details, mind, or who said what. It's mere curiosity as to what's been said, and how it's confusing.

[transmittable]

good, because we wouldn't tell you.

just that some have been talking to us as if we weren't their captor, but instead a friend.

[enhancements]

...I can think of at least one that you may be referring to.

[WHAT IS WRONG WITH RYOJI.]

That sounds about as counterproductive to me as outright hostility, to be blunt.

[transmittable]

blunt as it is, it's also correct. we're not here to make friends. we would prefer you all stay here. we would prefer a lot of things. but we know friends isn't something anyone should be after.

[enhancements]

You are aware that no one is going to stay with you, if given the option to leave. Aren't you?

[transmittable]

yes. we're very aware of that.

[enhancements]

Do you believe you have the power to make us stay?
