Week 2

[The Champions have now been here for one week, and while the dud of a first incentive didn't tempt anybody, the fact remains obvious: a lack of murder isn't going to be the thing that gets you out of here.

Blaze Dudely and Rox have not made a reappearance since Tuesday, leaving you to your own devices for the moment. That door they entered and exited through remains locked, and there is no new area to access this week. Are you sure they're even still back there? Despite their absence, you all wake up on Sunday morning from strange dreams. What to make of it?

You can only hope it's not a bad omen for the rest of the week.]

Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday

Just because she doesn't know a point doesn't mean there isn't one. It just means she doesn't have that information.

How intelligent and independent does this AI seem to be?

[le_mat]

Most of her responses didn't seem canned except one. When I asked who benefited from this whole thing she just restated the info about the Ultimate Champion. Might be something she can't say or might be a preset loop for anything she doesn't understand. I couldn't tell.

[playthedamncard]

It might benefit us to have everyone have a conversation with her. Between all of our personalities and ways of thinking and asking questions, we may be able to get a good pool of answers that one person alone cannot. It'll also give us a better idea of her limitations as far as answers and understanding.

[le_mat]

Agreed. Worried Petuu might shut her down once she realizes we're talking to her, but if she's running the day to day that might not be an option.

She said her job is to help us. We should use that.

[playthedamncard]

If she was made to talk to us and 'help' us, whatever that help may entail, then Petuu shutting her down would only give us more fuel. She's already tipped some of her hand; she isn't exactly the most stable person on this station.

Cruel, calculating, controlling, yes. But not wholly stable.

[le_mat]

Yeah... Yeah. Chloe surprised her and she was pissed. Blaze wasn't prepared for her to go off like that either.

... I don't think he likes the idea of killing kids.

[playthedamncard]

[His usual bitchy resting face doesn't move a muscle, but his voice takes on a tone of very cold anger.] No one should.

[And just like that, it's gone again.] It's a long shot, and one we need to be very careful about, but if there's a way to get this AI on our side in more than just a passive vaguely-defined helpful way, then we should look into it.

[le_mat]

It's risky as hell, but yeah. Anything we can use we gotta grab.

[playthedamncard]

It does also mean future meetings like this one should be conducted in the showers. [a sigh] Which is an unfortunate risk unto itself, but there it is.

...You said Petuu reviews the footage. Not Dudely? I can't help but think he might be just as stuck as we are.

[le_mat]

Or he's just muscle. But did you see his face when Chloe died? Even if he's not innocent, I don't think he was prepared for that.

[playthedamncard]

He's needed prompting and suggestion and guidance from Petuu this whole time. Maybe the AI will know more. Drive them apart somewhat.
