My apologies, I wasn't certain how one got your attention. I was directed to speak with you, but this was the only channel I could think of. Plus, I thought that typing your name in a variety of styles would get people being nosy, which it did, and was quite amusing.

[animusnpcs]

You were directed to speak to me? What about?

[terra_nullius]

A matter I'm not certain I wish to speak about on a public channel. I was wondering if there was a more private method of communication.

Private; Unhackable

[animusnpcs]

Go ahead.

[terra_nullius]

I'm not entirely trusting of a medium involving easily read screens in public locations, but I'll trust you to your craft.

Simply put, last month I sent an open letter because I was curious. Everyone seems to dislike the majority of your lot. I have little reason to do so, nor do I particularly claim to understand why. Feeling rather disenfranchised with those around me, and curious enough, I offered whatever assistance my pathetic existence could offer to the one who was in charge. I do not think that individual was the one that responded to me, but they directed me to speak with you.

Zo would have answered you last month--the child. If you'd like to help, I suppose I could entertain the idea. What would you be willing to do? And, of course, what would you like out of it? Unless you're feeling especially altruistic about us.

[terra_nullius]

The correspondence did have that sort of feel. That makes sense.

I have little understanding of your goals or motivations so I can't say whether I'd be altruistic or opposed at this point in time. I suppose ultimately I'd like information of sorts. As for what I'd be willing to do...

[A bit of a pause while he mulls this over, seriously.]

Well. I don't think there's much I wouldn't do if it meant understanding more.

[animusnpcs]

My current goals are related to keeping the Tower from falling inactive. That would be bad for all of you. If you're lucky, Ruana would just kill all of you. If you're not lucky--there are a lot worse things she can do.

On a more selfish note, I wouldn't be able to do much with a powerless Tower. It would be foolish to act as if I had no personal stake in this, of course.

[terra_nullius]

Ah, yes. The deadline that I've heard so much about. Is there a away to do something about it? That doesn't seem like such a terrible thing to desire at all. And here people were so worked up about how terrible you are!

[Of course, Jason. Even the wildest tales have a seed of truth to them somewhere. Just what do you want to do with the power on propely?]

I don't think it would be a problem to lend whatever assistance I could, in that regard. It seems like the sort of thing most people would benefit from ultimately.
