[ charles is visibly distressed when he appears on the screen, this time. he's in what seems to be some underground facility, and there are other faces behind him—notably collette, emma, galadriel, raven, and others. his eyes remain closed for a second and you can hear him take a deep breath. then: ]

We have... borrowed a gentleman by the name of Richard Lawson...—from the United Earth. He is a cabinet member of the President's. Yes, the President of the United Earth. [ charles clears his throat, steels himself. ]

We've learnt a great many things about the United Earth from his head, and we feel it best to share that information with all of you, here on the Network.

[ charles states the next words with a heavy voice. ]

The President of the United Earth is not human. "He" is—artificial. Artificial Intelligence, or what you would call an A.I.. The United Earth... has never seen his face, as far as we have deduced.

We will try to answer questions about what we have learnt to the very best of our ability, but do be patient. Ah—[ he closes his eyes again, considering. then he nods as though he's made the right decision and he knows it. ]

That is all.

Precisely!

It is an intriguing notion to think that a machine would be capable of fooling such a large number of people for so long, if that is indeed the case, and for what purpose? I don't suppose you'd happen to have any idea what sort of artificial intelligence it is that we are dealing with here?

No clue at all! Dick doesn't know either, which isn't a super big help.
trickstermentor: (ok you keep doing that)

Ah I see, I see~

[He pulls out a fan and bats it back and forth for a bit. And then a little longer. Until:]



...and who is Dick?
whatsupcroc: (☇ happy: you should see your face)

Richard Lawson!

[ Grin. Everyone nicknames their kidnapped politicians... right? ]
