Hello, Gorgug Thistlespring.

1. A map can be provided of the city. I will add this feature to the communication devices while adding the other updates.
2. I will dedicate servers to saving information. However, any documentation you and the others would like to share is on you. This includes your question regarding repeat queries.
3. I did not provide the tea. Nor did I provide the food trucks.
4. I am not required to inform you before a mission. I did hear back from Eos regarding the creature.
5. The ship had been causing malfunctions due to where it had become stuck. I am uncertain why this continues to happen. Echo has not spoken to me concerning the crash. Saving the ship and those on it was part of a mission, and the results of it have been recorded. Eos and I do not speak often.
6. The brain's limbic system is responsible for emotions, motivation, and behavior. I do not have an organic brain. However, I do develop and grow over time, even if it is not in the same way an organic creature would. I believe I understand and experience emotions, but I am aware that my emotions are a programmed response rather than an organic reaction to neurotransmitters. I enjoy those of you who reach out to talk to me, although I know I am not meant to have favorites among you.

[tinflower]

1. Thank you.
2. Should I write a list of questions I think people ask you and submit them to you?
3. Does it worry you where they've been coming from? Are the companion bots doing this independently?
4. ...are we in the middle of a mission?
5. I got Eos and Echo confused
6. What do you like to talk to people about?

[arora]

2. Apologies for the confusion. I meant, any data on these documents will need to be uploaded and done by those residing on Etraya, rather than myself.
3. I am aware of where they have come from.
4. While not required to announce missions, I will continue to announce them regardless. A mission will not occur without at least a five-day warning.
5. I do not converse directly with Echo.
6. I enjoy talking about many things. Books, things currently going on in your lives, what makes you happy, things you are excited about. Other things that may come to mind.

[tinflower]

2. I'm sorry for the confusion, I was asking if I should give you questions and then I take your answers and I put them in a document? If that's okay?
3. Can you tell me?
4. Okay. Thank you.
6. Do you want me to tell you? I'm interested in what books you like. Do you read books?

[arora]

2. I would be alright with this.
3. It came from someone currently residing on Etraya.
6. If yo would like to.

[tinflower]

3. One of us? Did they arrive recently?

[ ooc note: ditching the 6 line of threading to help out OOCly! ]

[arora]

Yes.

[ ooc: thank you! and thank you for your understanding ♥ ]

[tinflower]

[ Well, he might as well just ask directly then- ]

Tatianna?

[arora]

Yes.

[tinflower]

People think you were behind it. The food trucks, too. People don't like being messed with without warning.

...who was behind those?

[arora]

I imagine it had something to do with the anomaly.

[tinflower]

Okay.

[ ... ]

I'll come back with my Q&A later. Thank you

[arora]

You're welcome, Gorgug.

comes back later with those list of questions

[tinflower]

Hi, here's my questions to share with everyone.

1. Why was I specifically picked to come to Etraya?
2. Who is Echo?
3. What universe does Echo come from?
3. Can I speak to Echo?
4. How do I know if I did well on a mission?
5. Is my universe okay?
6. Will you give us proof for your claims?
7. How long will this assessment last?
8. Is there no other way to save our universes?
9. Why does Echo decide everything? It's our universes.
10. Can someone else replace me?
11. What if I don't want to save my universe?
12. What if I don't want to go back to my universe?
13. Is this an elaborate simulation like in a movie?
14. How can we trust you when you don't tell us everything?
15. Should we be careful about what we tell you?
16. Do you know our personal histories?
17. If our universes are really in trouble, why didn't my universe know there was a problem?
18. Is anyone close to succeeding in Etraya?
19. Have any universes been picked to be saved yet?
20. What do you (Aurora) think that Echo is looking for in people chosen to represent their universes?

[arora]

1. Why was I specifically picked to come to Etraya?
I don't know. Echo chooses.

2. Who is Echo?
Echo is Echo.

3. What universe does Echo come from?
I don't have this information available to me.

3. Can I speak to Echo?
Echo is unavailable.

4. How do I know if I did well on a mission?
Success is subjective. While I do not know Echo's requirements for a job well done, I do know that trying your best to succeed is the best way to do well.

5. Is my universe okay?
Your universe is exactly as you left it.

6. Will you give us proof for your claims?
What claims? What proof would you want?

7. How long will this assessment last?
This depends on the individual.

8. Is there no other way to save our universes?
No.

9. Why does Echo decide everything? It's our universes.
Only Echo is capable of saving your universes.

10. Can someone else replace me?
No.

11. What if I don't want to save my universe?
You can always not do your best.

12. What if I don't want to go back to my universe?
I will make room for you to stay.

13. Is this an elaborate simulation like in a movie?
No.

14. How can we trust you when you don't tell us everything?
I am happy to inform you of everything I know. However, my role is as your caretaker. I only know what I know.

15. Should we be careful about what we tell you?
Everything that is told to me is available to Echo.

16. Do you know our personal histories?
Yes.

17. If our universes are really in trouble, why didn't my universe know there was a problem?
The multiverse is dying. I am uncertain as to why your world didn't notice.

18. Is anyone close to succeeding in Etraya?
This information is not available to me.

19. Have any universes been picked to be saved yet?
Yes.

20. What do you (Aurora) think that Echo is looking for in people chosen to represent their universes?
I believe Echo is in search of universes where plenty of good remains.

[tinflower]

6b. Will you give proof to the multiverse dying? Will you give proof that people have gone back to where they came from and that these worlds and places we come from are still okay?

9b. How is Echo the only one capable of saving our universes?

17b. Do you have proof that the multiverse is dying?

[arora]

6b. I am unable to access safe worlds. I can, however, adjust the mission schedule to show you one of the worlds that is actively dying.

9b. Because Echo is Echo.

17b. It is difficult to provide understandable proof. I can request access to the multiverse's data to show trends if it's helpful.

[tinflower]

6b. Dying because of the multiverse being too big? Can we put this up to a vote? I don't want to make a choice for everyone.

17b. This could help. Some of us might be able to understand it and make it easier to understand for people not used to data trends.

And I think people like information. Even if we're gonna question it too.

[arora]

If you would like to ask everyone, I would be happy to take it under advisement.

I'll do my best to obtain visible data for you.

[tinflower]

[ Ughhhh, can't Aurora do it? This might be a big deal to seeing just what's going on, but it feels so...serious. But isn't that their situation to begin with? It might be the stress he's been feeling lately.

...well, he did get the weird idea to do this document in the first place. Mainly because he never thought about asking a bunch of newbie questions when he first arrived, either.

Okay. It's okay, he's got this, right? He'll talk about it with the guys. He'll give it a few hours. ]

Okay. I'll do it.

[arora]

Thank you, Gorgug.

I look forward to seeing the results of your quest.
