Who: Leto and You
Broadcast: Text
Action: SS Blameless
When: Now

Since the Atroma so kindly plagiarized my last game, which in turn makes me wonder how much of the broadcasts they actually pay attention to, I thought I'd offer something new.

What can't you live without? And what do you have that you would give up for it?

Or alternatively: Your favourite fantasy with the Atroma. If you must be graphic about it, do be tasteful.

I don't want to die, but I don't need all of me to provide for her.

[ Hershel did just fine with one leg, he could, too. ]

[precedented]

What do you need then?

[recipio]

As long as I can get around and take care of her, that's all I need.

[precedented]

[ A recipe for disaster. Still, Leto can't mock that sentiment. ]

Are you concerned because you are no longer together?

[recipio]

All the time. I want her here to make sure she's okay, but I don't want her to be stuck here.

[precedented]

Is this place so awful?

[recipio]

I haven't been here long enough to say. My family isn't here. My group isn't here. I know people say that when I go back nothing will have changed, but I'm not so sure.

Been lied to plenty of times before.

[precedented]

And I'm sure you've done your fair share of lying too.

[recipio]

Everyone has.

[precedented]

Then saying you've been lied to isn't really a point of contention. Or even, for that matter, a fact of life.

It's the reasons people choose to lie for that are debatable.

[recipio]

All I'm saying is I'm not gonna believe what these atroma say.

[precedented]

That is your decision.

But I would hesitate to dismiss everything the Atroma say. Perhaps there are nuggets of truth in the lies and those truths may come in handy. Don't trust your enemy, but you must know them.

[recipio]

There could be. Or they could be lying through their teeth to make sure we cooperate.

So what do you think they're telling the truth about?

[precedented]

It takes effort to craft a convincing lie.

Even more so as to not arouse suspicion among so many, especially veterans of the Fleet.

[recipio]

Sometimes all liars have to do to convince people of their lies is believe in them enough and others will believe it, too.

[precedented]

Except we're hard to convince. They're already on the opposite side of the spectrum when it comes to belief. They have very little sway.

[recipio]

Has anybody ever gotten close to or seen them at all? Not on video, but in person?

[precedented]

Not that I know of.

[recipio]

Are they real? Computer programs can be complicated, too.

[precedented]

That has yet to be proven.

[recipio]

Goody.

[precedented]

A lot of the information you'll find will be this way. Uncertain, unsteady.

[recipio]

How do you choose what to believe?

[precedented]

The same way you do it anywhere else.

You simply make the choice.

[recipio]

Guess I'll have to see for myself, first.
