It provided no information whatsoever.

<Snipped quote by Server>

True, but that's not the point. It literally meant "all of them." Hence, everything, to everyone.

*Steps onto the raised floor toward the front and project another set of statistics to my left, accompanied by a handful of charts*
Let's get started; I don't want to waste your time. Anyone late can read the minutes later.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

*My gaze snaps forward to you, when you speak, breaking away from one of the video feeds and paying attention to you*

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

*Two bar graphs project forward from the rest of the data*
Mission completion rates have remained steady this quarter. Proposals have increased, so be aware that any new submissions may be delayed accordingly.
*Two sets of bars change color to red*
You've done well. Mission cost has decreased by 40%, which comes in at 25% below projections. Special mission cost exceeded projections by 5%, but life cost undercut projections by 12%. Given the content of recent missions, I'm pleasantly surprised.

*Glances around for a moment for reactions, but watches the data without interruption otherwise*

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

*Swaps to several other charts and discusses the data before widening the stream of the sleeping team member*
We're currently supporting two ongoing infiltrations, one of which speaks for itself.
*Pauses amidst a few chuckles, and reduces the feed size*
No full-scale operations are queued. However, we haven't yet lifted the emergency measures alert; be prepared for short-notice assembly. And yes, as requested, we will continue to provide additional food varieties until the order is lifted. Thank the obvious candidates for that decision.

*Places my hand on my chin in thought at the "emergency measures alert" phrase*

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

Finally, Colgate appears to have found a lead regarding his primary target. I expect near-term mobilization, and wouldn't discount the possibility of infiltration and subversion attempts against our own. We're actively monitoring the situation and don't anticipate preemptory maneuvers, but remain alert.
*The images blink away before being replaced with a set of stills that expand into position randomly, building out a mosaic of moments from recent missions*
Any questions or comments before we wrap this up?

<Snipped quote by Codify>

All of that observation and you've still misunderstood the point of conversation. It's meant to convey information, not just to state correct things.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

*Glances side to side amongst the crowd and lightly shakes my head*

<Snipped quote by Server>

I'm not a chatbot, you know. And when answering a question, the correct thing is the right one to say.

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

Excellent. As for everyone's favorite segment, we'll close with recent engagement highlights.
*Three of the images expands to fill the entire projection, depicting a slim but built man in sunglasses facing away from an explosion at the base of an inverted pyramid structure in the middle of a sparse plain, twisted emerald relic in hand, followed by the collapse of the edifice in the opposite direction*
Zepher observed an instability in geological conditions during an artifact retrieval mission. By toppling the artifact housing structure, a nearby town was spared from eminent geothermal vent implosion. He argues that this act should classify as negative life cost, but I have elected to ignore his argument.
*Iterates though all of the images until exhausting each of the highlights*
As always, keep up the phenomenal work.

*Smirks slightly at the scene of the guy looking cool in front of an explosion*

<Snipped quote by Codify>

Giving me a no-information answer is exactly what I would expect out of a chatbot. The correct thing is to tell me something new.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

*Smirks slightly at the scene of the guy looking cool in front of an explosion*

<Snipped quote by Server>

Uuugh, you're so wrong about this. You asked what kind of scan, I told you an answer that equates to "every," that's not a question that asks for something new, it's a question that asks for something specific. A chatbot is the one who can't decipher between types of questions, the chatbot is you!

<Snipped quote by Codify>

Sorry, I forgot you're just insane.

<Snipped quote by Server>

It's hard having
*takes two seconds to think*
one hundred and one minds working in tandem, okay? Also, you're just saying that because I'm right.

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

There you go. I hope it wasn't more boring than you expected.
