Among us transports, how many used to be involved in their world's justice system? As police, lawyers, detectives, judges, [ heroes ] and the like. Nobody's required to answer, of course, but I'd like to know. Curiosity, if you will.

[ He goes for text for once because he doesn't feel like broadcasting - it's been two weeks since the VR and if nothing else he still believes in keeping up appearances, the instinct to pick up and carry on for his goal more deeply rooted than almost anything. What goal, he's wondered so much for so long lately, but he found an answer at home and there's no reason to let go of it now. ]

I won't ask, in that case.

... so, yeah. I've done some work. Not any more, though.

There are more people who have here than I would've expected.

Well, maybe that's how the Initiative picks us.

It's possible. I doubt it's the only way they choose, but I can see how it could benefit them.

They're also picking people with combat experience, I think.

I agree. Though you'd think they would be more careful to do so, with so many worlds at their disposal.

I'm beginning to think that they can't do anything intentionally, honestly.

Their track record hasn't been very good.

To put it lightly.

It's a wonder they're surviving with such a formidable enemy.

[ Like it. Actually kind of is, given their apparent ineptitude. ]

They haven't been very active lately. In fact, it's kind of strange.

Have they been active since you've been here?

For a little while when we first arrived.

What did they do?

I'd heard they were taking people and trying to track them with chips.

[She shakes her head.]

I wasn't here for that part, though. Just heard about it after.

I heard about that too. But any problems since then seem to have been because of the Initiative.

It just makes you wonder if they were any threat at all, or whether they're just biding their time.

Or if they're our enemy at all.

Exactly.

It'd be an excellent way to keep us busy.

[ Not that he speaks from experience or anything. ]

That's what I'm saying -- what if it's all just a big distraction?

Then we need to find out who our real enemy is.

Yeah. Working on it.

No one can keep their motives hidden forever. Everyone makes mistakes eventually, no matter how good they think they are.
