text; after the babadont plot

θ: Who here is an artificial life form? How were you created?

θ: Who here has siblings? How do you get along?

θ: Who here has a close friend who you consider closer than family? How did you develop that bond?

θ: Who here knows you died back where you came from? How are you dealing with that information?

[ Yes, it's the middle of the night and Theta is bored. Plus he just wants to know more about the people here. He hopes everyone who responds sticks to text; he doesn't want to awaken North. ]

I guess a bunch of us were like that.

I'm not, but I think a lot of us were.

I think you're right, Theta.

Did you know the other AIs very well? Besides Epsilon, I mean?

Not well. I was familiar with Delta before things ended, but by the time I was back in the picture everyone else was gone.

Can I ask you about something more personal? It's okay if you say no.

Epsilon remembered everything, right? Did that cause any issues between you?

[ She thinks. ]

You'd think it would have caused more, but Epsilon was pretty stable by the time I met him.

He could separate himself from the memories. He wasn't Alpha, or the Director. He was himself.

That's good. I would have liked to have met him. Maybe it can happen here...

[personal profile] onequartershark 2021-01-29 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe. I wouldn't get my hopes up, though.

[ She's not sure it would be for the better. He was dying slowly, and at least going out the way he did was a way Epsilon chose. ]

Yeah. It seems kind of random, who comes in and from when, doesn't it?
onequartershark: (14)

[personal profile] onequartershark 2021-02-02 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
It does. I guess we'll find out, huh?

[ Carolina's not great at talking to kids in the first place, but it's just... really natural to try to speak gently like that to Theta. ]

[personal profile] inner_child 2021-02-02 01:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

Thank you for talking to me about him. I really appreciate it.
