Hello. A couple things:

1 -- Are there any licensed therapists around here? Before you ask: yes, it's exactly what it sounds like, and before you volunteer like the good samaritan you are, I should probably inform you that I gave my last counselor a nervous breakdown.

So. Just figured I'd point that out. But hey, why not give it another shot, right? Even better if you know a thing or two about neurocybernetics, but that's not a must. We can work out some form of payment.

2 –- Another vending machine at the station went missing. What the hell is up with that? Whoever's doing this, are you deliberately trying to annoy me and keep me from doing more important work or what, while I'm chasing a vending machine thief. That said, we're low on staff. Go sign up if you have nothing better to do with your time, but don't touch any fucking vending machines. Unless you just want to get a drink, I guess that's okay.

3 -- Your thoughts on pursuing a serious relationship while trapped in this place. Go.

3- Ill advised. But I'd say that for any relationship anywhere!

[implying]

[ dammit, the fondness of relationships outweighs the dislike of adam
sigh ]

There isn't any reason not to pursue a relationship.

[noble_nate]

Whoever stole the second vending machine is likely the one who stole all of those other things a few months ago and then tried to resell them on the network. Regardless of whether he steals again, he needs to be found and brought to justice. I would consider that the most important work of all.

As far as pursuing a relationship while here, I see nothing wrong with doing so.

3 -- I tried it twice and both times ended in heartbreak. It's not recommended.

[motioned]

3: do it! you'll regret it more if they leave and you never tried

[biwinning]

3. recommended for mo2t people.
not you.

[onemoredeath]

One - none I am aware of.

Two - perhaps they thought the machine was their mother?

Three - it is like everything we do here, for good or for ill we cannot stop being human.

I wouldn't say it's a terrible idea but be prepared for the sudden loss of your partner. That could be as simple as being separated across the city or their losing their life. War times never make for easy love.

[highfrequency]

[That rusty voice again.]

We're fighting a war.

Exactly how cooperative action is your police force? I'm not antisocial, but I do my best work alone.

I'd say it depends on how committed you are. Like any other place.

[solitaire]

3 - why the hell not?

also, it depends on your definition of serious.

[flareblitz]

[ Since the other two on the list is of little interest and he's actually awake and little bored-- ]

how many?

[trustycrowbar]

3. As long as you're willing to live with the fact that either of you could vanish at any time.

[salvagedsoul]

In response to 3, risky. Transports come and go at random. So I suppose you ought to ask yourself if the potential pain is worth the enjoyment you get before then.

[aceordisgraced]

How do you even steal a vending machine is my question.

Also, uh, you've got one life so why don't you do your best? [YOLO, Adam.]

D --> One: There is bound to be one somewhere, unfortunately I cannot e%terminate this search at the bud and say I am one, but if you continue to 100k I am almost 100% positive you will find someone
D --> Two: I have no idea nor do I care. There is an e%cess of cameras located around this area watching us continuously and you could probably- with a bit of effort- e%plore that as an option to finding out more
D --> Three: Yes, to those that value that sort of thing for
D --> Comfort... I suppose

1- I'm afraid I don't have any experience in that area.

2- That's a rather odd target for theft. My hands are busy with my store but I'll keep an eye and an ear out.

3- There is the problem of either one of you disappearing suddenly. If both of you are willing to advance your relationship despite that however, I don't see why not.

[neveraskedforthis]

Yeah, can't imagine you'd have much luck with relationships to begin with.

[neveraskedforthis]

If you're polyamorous and don't have much of a problem replacing people, maybe.

[neveraskedforthis]

Yes, I am still working on that case. Mind, it's more annoying than anything, since none of the stuff that disappeared was really valuable, but I get really grumpy if I can't have my soda.

[ How he can even write this with a straight face, it is a mystery. ]

There are too many unpredictable factors when it comes to relationships. I'm asking myself what the point of getting attached is when people can disappear at a moment's notice.

text

[neveraskedforthis]

Because people vanished, I presume?

text;

[neveraskedforthis]

That just sounds a little naiive. What if I regret trying more when things don't work out because of how random this place is?

[neveraskedforthis]

Very insightful. Go on.

[neveraskedforthis]

2 -- What would even make you think that.

3 -- Maybe so, but it's also in our nature to question things and our own behavior.

Text

[neveraskedforthis]

I'm aware. There are other factors, too. Ultimately, I'm wondering if it's worth going through all this trouble when the outcome is so unpredictable.
