zugarruzh Zo, you're manIIpulatIIve and truztworthy, rIIght?~ Could II maybee get your IInzIIght on a thIIng?~ caepaecaesurae WVell, so I hear. ... Sure, anything you'd like.

zugarruzh Dualzcar waz talkIIng two me on IIMz, my tIImelIIne'z Dualzcar, and II feel lIIke he'z beeIIng a zhady douche IIn zome way II'm two dumb two actwoally IIdentIIfy?~ But IIt could bee II juzt hate hIIm zo II'm bIIazed~ Could you look at the chat two tell?~ caepaecaesurae Based on the vwery limited amount I'vwe seen on my dashboard, I'm going to guess your instincts are right here, but sure. Maybe I could help describe exactly howv. >Send the chat. Zorry for buggIIng you, II know IIt'z dumb~ caepaecaesurae No, it's entirely fair.  Many of my alternates are annoying, and I enjoy poking holes in their nonsense. caepaecaesurae Pardon a fewv moments of quiet wvhile I read, I wvant to be sure I understand wvhat he's after zugarruzh Take all the tIIme you need!!~ caepaecaesurae I'd say you're completely right, he's definitely trying something.  I think he'd like to manipulate you into abandoning Nadaya and joining him, presumably so he could use you against Sugary in some fashion. At a guess, at least. caepaecaesurae I'd say he's also a bit shaken that you havwe protectors, and wvould like to be able to manipulate you into asking them to stop. Particularly the protectors that could seriously inconvwenience him.  Particularly those that he has no legitimate wvay to stop. caepaecaesurae He's trying to make you feel stupid, evwen though you knowv exactly wvhat trolls like him are like, and the wvay they tend to think.  You havwe experience listening to the things Tyfora said, and I suspect you may havwe had access to cameras that wvould givwe you ages to observwe the seadwvellers among their owvn. He is trying to make you doubt yourself, and be unhappy wvhere you are, so that you wvill think he seems like a better option. ...At least, that is howv I read his intentions. WVhile in the rig, did you handle automated doors and locks, on the ship? zugarruzh Yeah~ IIt wazn't zomethIIng II'd need two thIInk about, IIt waz lIIke a reflex, but that waz me~ caepaecaesurae Did any highbloods attempt to argue wvith you about it, wvhen they wvere trying to do something they wveren't supposed to and you wvouldn't let them? caepaecaesurae Did they try to convincwe you you wvere mistaken somehowv, try to tell you you wveren't smart enough to understand their intentions? And then try to convincwe you that they wvere in the right? ...exactly the wvay that he is? caepaecaesurae At a guess, if I'm right, in either your next convwersation wvith him or the one after that, he'll try to spring his trap, wvhatevwer it may be.  He'll either invwite you to join a ship of his choosing directly, or wvill try to trick you into a situation wvhere he or people he knowvs wvould havwe a vwery easy time forcing you to do something. If he starts telling you things, but insisting you not relate them to either Nadaya or Moira, that is also a major red flag. caepaecaesurae I suspect they wvould knowv the situation here better than I wvould, givwen more familiarity wvith his situation and yours... but I can understand howv you'd be hesitant to ask advwice from someone wvho might take action wvhen all you wvanted wvas advwice. caepaecaesurae There may be a chance that he's trying to manipulate you into leavwing Nadaya, so that he can givwe you back to Tyfora, in a wvay that wvould get her in trouble wvith evweryone.  Or so that he can use you as levwerage against her. Or, I could be being paranoid, and he could just enjoy making you upset because he's a pissant. I don't think I'm wvrong though. zugarruzh Theze are all good thIIngz!!~ II mean, obvIIouzly theze are all very bad thIIngz~ But theze are thIIngz II zhould know and II'm glad that you zaIId thIIngz at me~ caepaecaesurae I'm glad I could help, and I'm sorry to hear he's acting up. If it makes you feel any better, I'm fairly certain that nowv that he's started doing this vwisibly, you could havwe him destroyed at any point just by asking your protectors, and Sugary wvould smile about it. zugarruzh IIt'z good two have allIIez!~ caepaecaesurae I wvish you the best of luck, wvith all this.  Let me knowv if there's anything more I can help wvith?  I don't mind talking. In general. zugarruzh Thank you!!~ II'll try two talk two you and not make you read zomethIIng terrIIble next tIIme, eheh~ caepaecaesurae As you like!  It wvas an interesting test of analysis.

Explaining Emotional Connection to an AI with No Emotions: The Saga Continues (ft. more complaints about Kankri)

zugarruzh How are you doIIng, honey?~

tempestattribution Am I correct to assume you ask me, or would you prefer for me to contact Moirah?

zugarruzh II lIIke talkIIng two both of you, but II talked two them mozt recently, zo IIt'z your turn!!~

tempestattribution Alright. I am "doing" satisfactorily, apart from Moirah incessantly flirting with Vantas despite knowing it to be an unwise endeavour.

zugarruzh EmotIIonz make people do unwIIze thIIngz, IIt'z annoyIIng~ II azzume he knowz your objectIIonz?~

tempestattribution He is. It is part of my purpose to inform him of unwise decisions and advise against them, while providing solutions and alternate options. He simply does not like the other options.

zugarruzh Eheheh, II'm zure you IInform hIIm vIIgorouzly and at length!!~ Are your other optIIonz for thIIz lIIke, "don't do that"?~

tempestattribution As he often requires, though does not accept. An option is "don't do that", yes. Another is to inform Vantas that he is an awful distraction to Moirah's work and should cease his behaviour. Unfortunately, the concept of not wasting his time courting someone, particularly someone who is not truly beneficial to him and who he has no intention of entering further relations with, seems to leave him dissatisfied.

zugarruzh Hmm~~ Maybee you need two fIInd hIIm better optIIonz~

tempestattribution What other options are there?

zugarruzh II dunno, who'z good on your guyz' zhIIp?~ Or you could go for Condy, Zhe lIIkez Helmzmen~

tempestattribution All current crewmembers are leaders in their fields, and highly respectable. I still, however, would recommend against the pursuance of any relationship. I believe that especially pursuing Her Highness would be a distraction to the ship's high function. This behaviour has been rendered obsolete here, with the important biological needs met through Empire approved schemes, which Moirah is no exception to. I do not understand his insistence that the schemes are not adequate. They do not hinder his potential as this does. Why do trolls pursue one another, Mellis?

zugarruzh Trollz, among other thIIngz, have a varIIety of zocIIal needz!~ FaIIlIIng two meet them greatly reducez zatIIzfactIIon~ MeetIIng them wIIth people you clIIck wIIth greatly IIncreazez IIt!~ We're programmed wIIth a number of ezzentIIal drIIvez, zocIIal IInteractIIonz are one, and a romantIIc relatIIonzhIIp gIIvez you a better level of zatIIzfactIIon and abIIlIIty two meet the drIIve!!~

tempestattribution I see. And satisfaction of their drive for social interaction is essential? What becomes of a troll who does not have this need met?

zugarruzh They go crazy~ ZometIImez IIn a harmlezz way, zometIImez really not~ They defIInIItely go weIIrd, at the very leazt~ ZometIImez a troll lIIke that can bee uzed for tazkz, but often not~ II got pretty weIIrd when II waz IIzolated~ IIt moderately ruIIned me, II'm lucky II'm rezIIlIIant~

tempestattribution While you seem to function mostly normally, and I do not doubt Moirah's resiliency, that outcome is unacceptable.

zugarruzh Appearancez can bee decIIevIIng, dear~ II'm glad you feel that way, II kIInda lIIke your verzIIon of the H Guy now~

tempestattribution I am aware. I would advise against becoming attached to him, if it is Moirah you mean. We are likely to return to our own universe soon.

zugarruzh II know!~ Temporary attachmentz are ztIIll valuable and enjoyable~ »:) You guyz are good~

tempestattribution If you insist. You do not distract him in a way that hinders productivity, and I assume the both of you will not feel a loss when separated, if only for the presence of your alternates.

zugarruzh II'll feel zome lozz!!~ II wIIzh II could keep all three of you, but that would juzt bee confuzIIng~ But IIt'z worth IIt!~

tempestattribution You hold a temporary connection to strangers as worth the loss you will endure when we are gone?

zugarruzh Yeah!!~ IIt'll probably help you guyz feel better, for one thIIng~ Maybee not you, IIf you don't feel~ But alzo II lIIke makIIng frIIendz, now that II'm allowed!!~ IIt feelz good~

tempestattribution I could predict how Moirah may feel if he were to know that, if you would like. You should be allowing yourself to enjoy your freedom to acquire friends.

zugarruzh Eheh, zo could II, but two bee faIIr, you DO have a fuckton more data than II do~ Yeah, do you thIInk zo?~

tempestattribution I have more data on my Moirah, yes. Based on what you have told me, what I know of your alternate, and my research, I think so.
