Nestled deep inside the circuitry of the Transistor are the traces of 16 eminent men and women originating from the erstwhile city of Cloudbank. Six of these traces are quite famous, but the remaining ten are rather obscure, despite their popularity in life. Why not drop by and ask them a few questions? (Also, caution; massive, MASSIVE SPOILERS.)

Any/All - what’s your favorite order from Junction Jan’s??

Hey Royce. I was wondering, could the process ever develop traces? after all, they've had, well, "ample opportunity" to understand how the human is deconstructed, and they do seem to mimic organic life even when there's no real reason for them to (see fetch, young lady, man), and they also seem to at least simulate industry, since when red hummed at the processed stage, swarms of process "played" along, moving their bodies in sync. If so, could the Process one day learn to use the transistor?

“You forgot, heh, Cluckers... At any rate, I am... not sure if they could ever develop anything as... ... ...complicated as a... Trace. But they are... or were... changing. As to your last question... The Process, and the, Transistor, are two pieces of a single unit. Could a, television, learn to use a remote? Could photons use a, lightbulb, as anything other than their source? Food for thought...”

I have a question for Royce: What exactly is the Process known as the Man? What purpose do they serve? They don’t seem to do anything other than attacking whatever is nearby.

“The Man... Now that, that is a very... interesting situation, there. The, Process, I believe, is beginning to develop some sort of... advanced consciousness. In the cases of the Young Lady and Man variations, it appears they have begun to... imitate. That which they have observed to be most... useful. I think, some form of growth was taking place... In ways that would be, perhaps, disadvantageous to... us. But perhaps not... perhaps not... I was not afforded enough time to, truly, explore the intricacies of the Process’ intelligence.”

royce --!

A question for Sybil: I still do not understand why you are so into Red out of every single person you have ever met. Have you had this kind of obsession for no one other than Red? (Sorry about my word choices.)

So, Royce. Were you genuinely disappointed and perhaps even a bit angry when you found out that Red is in the Country? Would you settle for Red rebuilding the city, if it is possible?

“I… would have preferred if she… took up the responsibility of, saving. Cloudbank. But… one cannot change the past… Not from here. Not from here… All I have now is to look to the, future.”

For Red's companion (a.k.a Boxer): How's a day of work in your life? As far as I know you're Red's bodyguard, but how's that? Have you ever had to kept away the weirdos and stalkers from her? I mean, she's a celebrity after all. I can picture you punching your way trough after one of Red's performances, asking kindly to the crowd to move obviously.

“Heh, that’s pretty much it. Crowd control and personal protection, that was me. Just made sure she had a clear path, and nobody got too handsy. Job perfectly suited to a big lug like me, heheh.”

A question for Royce. I'm not quite keen with the Recursion and the purpose of the Transistor, but there's a thing that bugs me, and it's connected to the Canvas thing Boxer tells Red after they fought you (cool boss fight by the way): Is it possible to use the Transistor to save Cloudbank and its citizens?As I see it, the Transistor acts as a pendrive. Is there a way to use the traces gathered to bring the ones trap inside? Like a reconstructing function that let you (Reboot) all over again?

I... Personally, believe that there is... a way to. recreate Cloudbank. To... return our traces to... the outside world.

Unfortunately... Unfortunately, I haven’t quite... cracked it, yet.

Not yet... But, I believe that, the Eye and the ability to... Recurse, may have... something to do with it. I will... continue my research.

As a fellow Transistor fan I gotta say your Tumblr is amazing, thank you for dedicating your time to make this place a comfy spot for the people who loves this beautiful jewel of a game. By the way, a question for the Camerata memebers: do you guys go out together from time to tike? Like for a drink, some food or the cinema?

We, The Camerata, are surprisingly solitary in our pursuits. However, from time to time, as you say, we do like to spend time together, the four of us. Meat and drink are definitely things we partake of as a group. Usually in tandem with meetings, but not always…

The cinema, on the other hand, is much trickier. We’ve all got rather disparate tastes in film.
