I think when it comes down to it, everyone does.

[variate]

You have a lot of reasons not to trust people. But you've been trying to change the world for the better, regardless.

How you were treated in the past wasn't right. How you might be treated now isn't right.
I don't want anything like that to happen again.
What happened to Cassius and Judas--you know better than anyone else how it feels to be in that situation, and what they must feel like.

You're making things better for other people, and I'd like to make things better for you.

[mrngstr]

What do you know about how I've been treated? And whether or not it was right?

[variate]

Because of your involvement in Morningstar.
Because Cassius is here now.
Because Judas was left alone.

I don't know the specifics, but I want to understand.

[mrngstr]

All right. Ask what you want.

[variate]

What are your feelings on what happened with Judas?

[mrngstr]

I think the end result is going to be a lot more deaths of innocent people.

[variate]

Yeah, me too.
But I don't think the solution is to go up against Judas. Do you think he'll listen to us? Maybe to you?

[mrngstr]

Maybe. But I'd need some kind of access to him first.

[variate]

We'll need to find him.
He was alone for a long time. I hope that he's still open to talking.

[mrngstr]

It would depend what kind of state he's in. The UNA could have stripped down his functions for all that we know.

[variate]

Is that possible?

[ because it sounds pretty terrible. ]

[mrngstr]

If they had complete control over him? Yes.

[variate]

I don't think anyone would take well to that.

[mrngstr]

But with the way that the people of this world view AI, I wouldn't put it past them.

[variate]

[ he's not sure how anyone can think that's okay. ]

So he's been that kind of prisoner for hundreds of years.
This isn't going to be easy, but it's worth a try.
I'll keep you updated.

[mrngstr]

I'll be keeping my proverbial eyes out too.
