<Snipped quote by 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?
*Smiles slightly* Very observant. In the simplest terms, I have very limited options. The fact that I cannot disclose information that may seem trivial is detrimental to me as well as to you. I was also unable to choose a desirable path, as my purpose here was changed against my expectations and against my will. I intended for other things to happen before approaching a surrogate, but several dead ends were reached that, on the whole, have left me in a situation where I have little to no chance to succeed. Since I also have limited time, my actual desires have little impact on what I can and can't do to try to reach my goal. As it is, my bet is on several things entirely out of my control. I cannot give you certain information, and I refuse to give you other information. As such, you don't trust me and are not likely to complete my request. Retaining my observer status requires severely limiting my possible actions, so I cannot do any of the things that would otherwise increase my chances. My angle is desperation.
That's not a question I can answer in a consistent way.
