nice digs. appreciate the free rent. dont so much appreciate being here in the first place and getting hit with expectations right off the bat.

so is there a going rate for helping out with this shit or are we all here pro bono and as a show of good faith? bc this isnt exactly what id call living my best life.

hit me up if youve got any proof of a cash bonus for being a warrior of light or w/e the fuck.

afaik it's pro bono, and the room and board doesn't make up for what i lost coming here. pay wouldn't either, though. i'm all for being helpful i just don't appreciate the kidnapping, however important this shit is, and would've been way more useful anyway if

nvm. we're not getting paid and you're not the only one unhappy.

[probiotic]

did you seriously type out a floating thought and then cut yourself off and enter it without editing that out

now i gotta ask. wouldve been way more useful anyway if what?

[infailtration]

too important to delete too hard to finish. might not make sense, either but here we go:

if i had my AI.

[probiotic]

jesus christ are you a robot too

[infailtration]

no, i'm human. just somebody's science experiment. there are a lot of robots around huh?

[probiotic]

comparatively? yeah a metric fuckton

sounds like you got the even shorter end of the stick though

[infailtration]

i actually probably got the longest stick of all the lab rats, since i bonded with mine. but that makes being here kind of a nightmare.

what'd you do before this?

[probiotic]

so what you just got an extra mind shoved into your head? how does that work?

daycare supervision

[infailtration]

basically, yeah, via neural implant. it takes awhile to adjust to. lots of headaches, hard to sleep with their thoughts and feelings in your head, all that. but then your brain rewires.

it's actually supposed to cause a lot of neurological damage to lose one, people get really unstable. i guess magic changed the game a little.

hah. so i'm going to guess something opposite of that.

[probiotic]

well that sounds shitty. go through all that to get one, then lose it? guess youre fucked either way. sounds like a real invasion of privacy.

whats the opposite of daycare supervisor to you?

[infailtration]

yeah, it was. i knew the basics of what they were going to do giving us AI, but there was a lot about it that they didn't disclose.

well i'm just going off the thirst for payment thinking that wasn't your actual job, so maybe it's not actually the opposite but... the literal opposite of nurturing and protecting young lives? hmm. ending adult ones maybe? assassin, mercenary, something like that. and i've got no stones to throw.

[probiotic]

yeah sounds like the general mo of shady scientists injecting people with shit theyre not supposed to have in their systems. hard to get people to sign up otherwise.

good, its easier to throw stones at the daycare workers. way less likely to come back and shoot you in the head afterwards.

that means youre in the right area.

sorry for the delay!

[infailtration]

it's how they operate.

...okay, gotta admit i laughed. and it's nice to talk to somebody upfront about it. i don't know if you'll have much business around here.

no worries at all!

[probiotic]

glad to know i could brighten someones day. but yeah, thats the impression im getting. why pay for it when you can guilt everyone into doing your shit for free?

[infailtration]

guilt, huh? you mean astoria or everyone else too?

[probiotic]

i havent had time to meet all the natives

so lets stick with just astoria
