[cheese of death... that's how nat goes out]

I hate being mistaken for an altruist.

[it's such a nice think to be mistaken for but scien just looks offended]

[dropoffs]

I don't think that would be beyond you. [ She thinks it would be very neat to have a fuzzy wuzzy gap moe. ] Augmented or changed, everyone is capable.

[egodist]

Capable, yes, but that is not me. I am tired of being mistaken for a saint.

[he said in the first trial... he is trying to be a funky lil human now... he's not very good at it but an attempt is there]

There is no personal reason. Perhaps you could say it was my father and grandfather's research, but I mostly took it up because I was bored.

Now, I persist in it because I may be the only one capable of breaking the curse. That is my responsibility.

[dropoffs]

Altruism isn't something only for saints, Mister Brofiise. [ But his choice is his choice. She thinks it's a fine answer, anyway. ] Legacy and destiny... How interesting. I wonder what future you envision after the curse is broken. [ Taps her chin. ] Have you made progress before you arrived here? Or perhaps here? Though I suppose you don't have the equipment to continue research.

[egodist]

Then I am neither a saint nor an altruist.

[never....]

I found a promising lead before I arrived. If I do not return, they will simply make my next Reliver and make sure the task is done. I was interested in collecting blood samples and suppose I still am...

But I have shifted my priorities.

[dropoffs]

[ She listens politely like a good maid. ] To return?

[egodist]

To identify what took ahold of me.

[dropoffs]

And if you don't like the answer?

[egodist]

What would an example of an answer I wouldn't like?

If it turns out that there's nothing tangible to be angry with, and just a malfunction of technology?
