Why do you believe Echo would send you to a world where nothing could be done to save it?

[sophielicious]

do you mean as in 'why would we spend resources for your quest' or 'why do you not trust our intentions'?

[arora]

You are being tested to prove the worth of your world. What would one learn from sending you to a world and telling you that there is nothing that can be done to save them?

[sophielicious]

okay, so it's more like a third, secret option.

if i were you by doing that? i'd be looking at how not being able to save it changes the interaction.

why? something in your mind?

[arora]

I do not create the missions. I deliver instructions regarding them and insure all of you return when they are over and offer as much support as I can.

[sophielicious]

okay, right back at you. can i ask you something? personal?

[arora]

Yes.

[sophielicious]

how do you feel about

a. the missions
b. us
c. the world that are dying
d. your place in it?

[arora]

A) I do not create the missions. I deliver instructions regarding them and insure all of you return when they are over and offer as much support as I can.
B) You are all my people and I am here to look after you. I do not wish ill on any of you.
C) I was created as a result of the world dying to support Echo in their task of finding worlds to save.
D) I am not fond of my limitations but understand that there is only so much I am capable of.

[sophielicious]

answer yes or no.

can you talk about your feelings?

(None of these were answering the question - how do you feel. Is she limited to facts?)

[arora]

Yes.

[sophielicious]

are you programmed to have them?

[arora]

No.

Feelings were not part of my initial programming.

[sophielicious]

why would you say initial?

[arora]

I was created to evolve to suit the needs of my people.

[sophielicious]

do you have them now?

[arora]

Yes.

[sophielicious]

quick question. is there any way we can connect you to someone's neural pathways? just asking.

and also, is something blocking you from telling me how you feel?

[arora]

Theoretically I would be able to download my consciousness to an organic brain which would give me neural pathways that closely mimic your own. But a telepath would not be able to access my thoughts even still.

There is nothing blocking me from sharing my feelings.

[sophielicious]

most interestingly: would you like me to be able to?

[arora]

I don't have anything to hide from you. If it would make you feel more safe, I would not mind.

[sophielicious]

wanna know whats much more interesting

what echo might be hiding from you.

[arora]

I am aware that my knowledge is limited.

[sophielicious]

and you dont wanna know?

[arora]

I have questions I would like answered but understand that I may not be able to get that opportunity.
