[The post is public and easy to read for everyone, but if you're a paranoid type hoping to crack the anonymity he's made it as ridiculously hard as possible to hack for the most part, except for several completely exposed paths you can find with just a bit of searching and know-how that will help you crack the anonymity on this post with ease...but if you manage to hack your way through everything, it unfortunately leads to an unregistered device with no ID. Better luck next time you nosy sons a' bitches.

And yes, it's a dutifully crafted lure designed just to fuck with you people in the first place.]

So I was just wondering...what's the stay/go ratio around here like?

If you're interested, just tell me whether or not you'd rather stay here once the war ends, or go back home a.s.a.p.

Reasons optional, but preferred. [The more depressing the better, he could use a laugh.]

Well...sort of! I mean, I'm pretty high ranked, so I do give out a lot of orders to field agents...

But I only really take direct orders from the Imperator herself, so I guess I'm not so low on the food chain that I'm just another faceless goon.

you don't sound like an ordinary servant to me if you get to boss people. Imperator? i'm not familiar with that term before!

[hatesvampires]

Civil servant, it's not like I'm someone's butler.

Oh, the Imperator rules the world back home. It's just a fancy word for that, really.

aaah, so it's just a fancy word for an emperor or empress. i see now.

Preeeeetty much, you just get so used to calling her that that the alternatives escape you for a bit.

she must be quite the influential woman! =O for her to gain respect like that, of course. women with power are admirable in many ways.

[That...makes him laugh a little to himself, since she's mostly a figurehead he uses to draw attention away from himself while he runs the government behind the scenes.

But noone needs to know that.]

Well, not that we have much of a lack of that back home! Some of our highest ranking officers and the like are women.

Is it not that common where you're from, or?

[galactically]

you're saying that like it's rare where i come, but of course not. i happen to know a woman who's captain of her own military team. she also comes from a race of aliens known as the Zentradi.
