FORCED HONESTY MEME




You know the drill:

Post with your character.
Your character has to tell the truth and nothing but the truth!

Now interrogate each other.

In technology, aye.

'Twould seem the Artificial Intelligence maintaining this star isn't able to recreate technology that surpasses its understanding.

Nevertheless, I do have the entirety of my Facility. Unlike this... scraper of skies you speak of, it stretches underground.

[chimericalclaw]

A strange thought, given how advanced the system itself must be.

What about you? Were you involved in the Facility's initial construction?

[endcaller]

Indeed!

I wasn't the only soul responsible of course, but I was an integral part of its development.

[chimericalclaw]

Do you intend to restore that missing technology, then? Or would that be too much of an ordeal for our circumstances?

[endcaller]

I will if I must, but let us hope it doesn't come to that, hmm?

When I was head researcher, I had an entire team at my disposal, and the technological resources of my people.

Here, I would have to develop every piece of machinery from scratch and all on my lonesome. It could take decades.

[chimericalclaw]

[Eugh.] With any luck we won't have to spend that long here, no. I'd rather not find out if this simulation has incorporated a realistic concept of aging.

[endcaller]

'Tis my aim to learn as much as I can about this prison while I am here.

Though admittedly, without the ability to manipulate time answering that particular question would be rather difficult.

[chimericalclaw]

I share that sentiment for the most part, but I'll dare to hope that that particular aspect doesn't become relevant.

[endcaller]

Best to make haste with our escape then!

Alas, this may require you to get closer to danger than you would like.

[chimericalclaw]

[sigh!] As I mentioned before, I'm not averse to risk entirely. I'm just particular about knowing details about those risks beforehand.

[endcaller]

Oh, you needn't worry about that. Full glad am I to wander into a dragon's den and emerge charred to tell you all about the beast.

[chimericalclaw]

Oh? In that case, you can consider me willing and able to pick you up after the fact and make sure your pieces get put back together properly.

[endcaller]

Marvelous!

Does this mean you know some people capable of such a feat? As putting my poor, broken parts back together, I mean. Hah.

[chimericalclaw]

I'm familiar with several of our magically-gifted healers, yes. Having seen their care with my own eyes, I can assure you of their skills.
