Since you all seem to be so eager to talk to me, and I have some free time, I'll open the floor for questions.

Comments

[animusnpcs]

They're not exactly like you--the fluid is clear, that's all.

[keepscalm]

How are they different, then? And the people with the red collars -- is the case the same for them?

[animusnpcs]

They're different prototypes they we've found secondary uses for.

[keepscalm]

Prototypes? The people, or the collars and the drugs found within?

[animusnpcs]

The systems in general.

[keepscalm]

So, who are the people? Have they been "rescued" from other worlds like we have?



Can they die like the rest of us? The red-collared individuals in particular seem to be particularly resilient.

[animusnpcs]

Are you planning on fighting some of them?

[keepscalm]

I find that to be a completely irrelevant matter, but no, that was not quite what I had in mind.

I have noticed, however, that you haven't properly answered any of the questions I posed above regarding the abnormal collar colours of those people.

[animusnpcs]

I'm simply curious as to what you'll do with all those powers you possess for the moment.

[keepscalm]

I have no plans to go on any trip of power madness, if that's the sort of spectacle you're hoping for. I'm a tad more intelligent than to provoke anything that seems intended for defense unless I'm confident that my abilities are sufficient enough to neutralise the threat.

Do you mean to say that the powers are temporary?

[animusnpcs]

Yes.

[keepscalm]

And for how long am I intended to have them?

[animusnpcs]

You'll know when they're gone.

[keepscalm]

Do you refuse to tell me because it's more interesting that way?

[animusnpcs]

Maybe.

[keepscalm]

Perhaps I'd be more inclined to be an interesting specimen if I knew that my newfound powers were actually reliable. I don't charge into things unprepared.
