Well I'll see what I can do. What's the situation?

[crab]

WHEN I FIRST ARRIVED HERE, I WAS NATURALLY CURIOUS ABOUT WHERE YOU MANAGED TO GET THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN OUR FILES.
I WAS TOLD LACHESIS SUPPLIED IT. WHICH SEEMED AN ACCEPTABLE ENOUGH EXPLANATION AT THE TIME, DESPITE THE FACT THAT IT DIRECTLY CONTRADICTED WHAT I WAS FIRST TOLD ABOUT LACHESIS, THAT SHE ONLY HAD TIME TO INFORM YOU OF OUR ARRIVAL, NOT PROVIDE YOU WITH AN ENTIRE FUCKING BROCHURE ON EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US.
HOWEVER, AS TIME HAS GONE ON IT'S BECOME ABUNDANTLY CLEAR THERE IS NO POSSIBLE WAY LACHESIS COULD HAVE SUPPLIED THE INFORMATION ON THE *NEW* IMPORTS BEING FUNNELLED INTO THIS HUMID SHITHOLE EVERY DAY.
WHICH CAN ONLY LEAD ME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT I WAS LIED TO, AS I FIND IT VERY DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE THERE ARE TWO UNRELATED METHODS OF PUTTING TOGETHER THIS INFORMATION SIMULTANEOUSLY AT WORK HERE.
CONSIDERING HOW SIMPLE A QUESTION IT IS, THAT ALSO LEADS ME TO WONDER WHY YOU WOULD *NEED* TO LIE ABOUT SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
SO THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO CLEAR THE AIR.
WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY FOR YOURSELF?

Glad you decided to keep the message reasonable. You can relax, son. You weren't lied to. What you're calling "brochures" are only basic profiles for y'all, we got those along with the head's up when the first sweep of you came in.

She don't tell us about the newer imPorts. Wherever's she got to she's quiet now. Our own Porter learned how to do that.

YOU KNOW AS WELL AS I DO THAT WHERE SHE'S "GOT TO" IS MOST LIKELY ROBOT HELL.
AND I FIND THIS EXPLANATION DIFFICULT TO SWALLOW.
WHAT'S EVEN THE DEAL WITH YOUR PORTER? IS IT SENTIENT? IS IT OMNIPOTENT? IF IT CAN GATHER BASIC PROFILES, WHAT STOPS IT FROM GATHERING MORE INFORMATION?
CAN I SEE IT?

[mmnpcs]

Find it as hard to swallow as you like, it's the truth. You can see it, but not unsupervised.

[crab]

YOU DIDN'T ANSWER MY PRECEDING QUESTIONS.
WHEN CAN I SEE IT?

[mmnpcs]

It ain't omnipotent. We don't know if it's sentient or simply functions on technology more advanced than we can comprehend.

No sooner than May. The scientists we have working with it are backed up enough at the moment as it is. I can let you know when things clear up enough for a tour.
