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.

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

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.

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?

It takes effort to craft a convincing lie.

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

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

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.

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

Not that I know of.

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

That has yet to be proven.

Goody.

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

How do you choose what to believe?

The same way you do it anywhere else.

You simply make the choice.

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

That is the way of the world. Whether you are here or somewhere else.

Does this place even count as being somewhere?

Every place counts.

It still doesn't feel like any of this is real.

Reality is often what you determine it to be.

So even if you're dreaming you could consider that reality, too?

Isn't that what we do? Seek dreams to make them real?

What good do dreams do if there's no possibility for it to happen? Kinda seems like false hope.

Then that's on you. You deny the possibilities, not the world.
