*Nods*
And now is all that matters.

@Nimda

Yes.

[Mammalia]

<Snipped quote by Mammalia>

Whether good "works for me" or not does not affect the fact that it is good.

<Snipped quote by Threads of Fate>

Hm?

@Techspert

Of course. But you have found a reasonable source of standards?

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

*Nods towards Spirit*

<Snipped quote by Mammalia>

Correct. Somewhat surprising, seeing as the dead end reached wasn't present before. Unavoidable side effects, I suppose. In any case, were you involved in the so-called "Noble Incident?"

@Threads of Fate

I cannot answer any of your questions unless it can be proved that you are on our side. My apologies, but I must be wary.

<Snipped quote by Mammalia>

How do you do?

@Heroic

Quite well. Slightly disoriented, but quite well.

<Snipped quote by Mammalia>

Nix: not really.

@Stabby

Well, on the bright side, Unity is gone.

[Heroic]

@Mammalia

Disoriented from?

[Mammalia]

@Mammalia

Disoriented from?

@Heroic

Much time has apparently passed that I missed.

[Techspert]

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

I think I like my business better.

@Heroic

Life over one three three seven haxors?

[Techspert]

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

@Mammalia

Mhm.

Supposedly gone. I'd prefer evidence.

[Threads of Fate]

<Snipped quote by Threads of Fate>

On the contrary, I can. As a general rule, "proving," even in the fields of science, means "beyond reasonable doubt." Evidence is what we look for and you have provided none. Because you admitted to stalking us. What's your favorite idea?

@Techspert

We disagree then. And furthermore, I'd contest your accusation of "stalking" you. I spent several hours tracking you, and I hardly consider that to be "stalking." That's classified.

[Nimda]

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Yes.

@Spiritblitz

And you are now. We are now.

[Techspert]

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

@Threads of Fate

Sounds rather stalky to me. Why us? How do/did you get the idea?

[Mammalia]

@Threads of Fate

You are not helping your case much. I'm sure this is important, but if whoever has classified this believes that we are important enough, they will have to disclose quite a bit of relevant information.

@Mammalia

I am not "on your side." I'm in a position of observation and have a request to be delivered via a surrogate. At present, you are the most fitting surrogate, given that my information is correct. Due to the creation of a new dead end, it is possible that it no longer is, in which case I'll find a new surrogate.

<Snipped quote by Mammalia>

Mhm.

Supposedly gone. I'd prefer evidence.

@Techspert

Providing you with evidence would be potentially devastating to several beings' immediate futures. As such, I cannot in good conscience provide you with the evidence you desire.

[Mammalia]

<Snipped quote by Mammalia>

Mhm.

Supposedly gone. I'd prefer evidence.

@Techspert

I'm sure. I would too. I will ask someone when I can.

[Threads of Fate]

<Snipped quote by Threads of Fate>

@Techspert

If that's you opinion, I don't have the opportunity to try to change it. Because you, specifically, have had contact with him. *Points to Spirit* I overheard my father say it once when I was young.

<Snipped quote by Threads of Fate>

You are not helping your case much. I'm sure this is important, but if whoever has classified this believes that we are important enough, they will have to disclose quite a bit of relevant information.

@Mammalia

Simply put, you are not important enough to disclose information that could potentially do harm. As such, the information I can provide is limited.

@Threads of Fate

You are saying many meaningless things. Perhaps they have meaning for you, but our lack of knowledge of these things does not provide grounds for your authority.

@Threads of Fate

So be it. You may have to find another surrogate, then.

@Threads of Fate

One of those simple paradoxes you always read of. Unfortunately, life isn't as simple as our perfect little physics, probability, or simulation world. Give us a reason, if you know there is one.

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

I'm sure. I would too. I will ask someone when I can.

@Mammalia

Who?

@Threads of Fate

Why him? Who was your father? What was he like?

[Threads of Fate]

@Mammalia

Hm. That could lead to several interesting conversations. I'll take note of that to recite later.

<Snipped quote by Threads of Fate>

@Mammalia

Would you have any suggestions?

<Snipped quote by Threads of Fate>

Why him? Who was your father? What was he like?

@Techspert

The reason is simply that there is a path where no one's futures are jeopardized and you are left unsatisfied, and there is a path where their futures are placed in danger and you remain unsatisfied. The former is preferable, therefor that's the path I'll take.

My information states that he was involved in the so-called "Nobility Incident," and is capable of making the request I need made on his own behalf and having it fulfilled, allowing for the results that I need without any conflicts or unnecessary interactions. Since I cannot make the request while maintaining my status as an observer, nor would it likely be fulfilled, this becomes a useless path and so I've rejected it. Your other questions have classified answers.

@Threads of Fate

Yet you lack the knowledge that we rarely abide by the rules of individuals who make baseless claims or outrageous request. If telling the truth, you know this path won't work out either and that you're walking it the wrong way. That means that you went into this aware of the fact, or that you're lying. You seem rather intelligent, so I'll temporarily rule out the latter, unless lying is a means to achieve your end. Either way, the result is the same: you know what you're doing here and that it wouldn't work. You prepared to be rejected because it led to the outcome you desired; otherwise, you'd make up some other scenario or go down a different path. Then what's your angle? Why did you choose this way?

When you stare at the clouds in the sky, don't you find it exciting?
