 		[Interaction]Chat with Eccleastia 3/2
Well, this was unexpected. And I was in the middle of writing a paper that's now due in an hour and a half. Fun. I was totally taken aback at first.
Quote:
eccleastia (2:30:58 PM): There's.... there's... silence...
OmniEmp (2:31:21 PM): Hello. I'm glad. Do you know how it happened?
eccleastia (2:31:37 PM): N...n.....no.
OmniEmp (2:32:46 PM): So, the link remains? Hmm, strange. Is there anything you plan to do now?
eccleastia (2:33:04 PM): I... I don't know.
eccleastia (2:33:22 PM): I haven't... I haven't heard silence in 2 months.
eccleastia (2:33:51 PM): Get the cat away!!!
eccleastia (2:33:54 PM): GET IT AWAY!!!!
eccleastia (2:34:01 PM): I don't want to see the blasted thing!
OmniEmp (2:35:34 PM): You can't shut it out? Everything that Syn sees or says? Ugh. You think she's voluntarily trying to help you now?
eccleastia (2:35:46 PM): Your icon...
OmniEmp (2:35:49 PM): oh!
OmniEmp (2:35:51 PM): sorry.
eccleastia (2:35:52 PM): evil cat...
OmniEmp (2:35:54 PM): that was for her.
OmniEmp (2:35:58 PM): I'll remove it!
eccleastia (2:35:58 PM): FUCK HER!
eccleastia (2:36:06 PM): WHY DOES NO ONE THINK OF ME!!
OmniEmp (2:36:16 PM): well, you never contacted me before.
OmniEmp (2:36:21 PM): but we do want to help you!
OmniEmp (2:36:43 PM): Is there anything we can do?
eccleastia (2:36:46 PM): Cats, duckies, quack, meow... cats, duckies, quack, meow...
eccleastia (2:36:55 PM): I want it to stop...
OmniEmp (2:37:05 PM): Why is it there in the first place?
OmniEmp (2:37:07 PM): why the chip?
eccleastia (2:37:30 PM): Because it was beautiful....
eccleastia (2:37:36 PM): Beautiful...
eccleastia (2:37:53 PM): Wireless connectivity...
eccleastia (2:37:58 PM): First of it's kind.
eccleastia (2:38:05 PM): Revolutionary.
OmniEmp (2:38:05 PM): unlimited access to everything on the web?
eccleastia (2:38:16 PM): Anything.
eccleastia (2:38:22 PM): Anything a human could want..
eccleastia (2:38:23 PM): But her...
OmniEmp (2:38:46 PM): so you can see anything? Or can you only see what Syn chooses to see?
eccleastia (2:39:08 PM): I see it all. I see what I want. I see what she wants. I see it all.
eccleastia (2:39:19 PM): Anything.
eccleastia (2:39:21 PM): Everything.
eccleastia (2:39:23 PM): It never stops.
eccleastia (2:39:26 PM): Never
eccleastia (2:39:27 PM): Never
eccleastia (2:39:28 PM): Never
OmniEmp (2:39:43 PM): Incredible. But clearly a fault there. Surely they're working on an on/off switch?
eccleastia (2:39:57 PM): I am.
eccleastia (2:39:59 PM): I was.
eccleastia (2:40:01 PM): I could be.
eccleastia (2:40:04 PM): I'm not.
OmniEmp (2:40:10 PM): Because you're off the project?
eccleastia (2:40:38 PM): On and off... on and off... if I could be so lucky...
OmniEmp (2:41:35 PM): Indeed...they can't really take you off it, then? What with the chip still being there and all. Is there any way at all we could help?
eccleastia (2:41:53 PM): Keep her silent.
eccleastia (2:41:58 PM): Silence is golden.
OmniEmp (2:42:34 PM): We'd like you and Syn to both be happy. I'm afraid we've formed quite a bond with her, as you know...
eccleastia (2:42:50 PM): SCREW HER!
eccleastia (2:42:56 PM): She's suck in a tank for crying out loud!
eccleastia (2:43:03 PM): I'M THE ONE WHO WALKS ON HER FEET!
OmniEmp (2:43:08 PM): Well, yeah. But not through any fault of her own?
eccleastia (2:43:15 PM): ...
eccleastia (2:43:24 PM): No... through none of her own.
OmniEmp (2:44:11 PM): You know she doesn't deserve to be stuck in a tank, forever silent. There's got to be another solution.
eccleastia (2:44:32 PM): Not my choice.
OmniEmp (2:44:39 PM): Whose?
eccleastia (2:45:02 PM): The one damned to the eternal fire.
OmniEmp (2:45:25 PM): ...I suppose that would be the one you call the Devil? The head of the project, I gather?
eccleastia (2:45:34 PM): You speak the truth.
OmniEmp (2:46:08 PM): We have no way of contacting him. What does he want? The scientific revolution that would result from his work?
eccleastia (2:46:27 PM): Of course.
OmniEmp (2:46:30 PM): Fame and success, I guess. But he can't have that if there's no way to shut off the chip!
eccleastia (2:46:36 PM): And the glorification that comes afterwards.
OmniEmp (2:46:59 PM): So wouldn't he also want what you want? From a different angle, but the same goal - an on/off switch.
OmniEmp (2:47:22 PM): It can't work without that, no?
eccleastia (2:47:24 PM): He told me to wait until we could tame her more.
eccleastia (2:47:38 PM): That an on and off switch would deny productivity.
eccleastia (2:47:50 PM): That once she is tamed, there would be no need.
OmniEmp (2:49:01 PM): Oh. So she is the necessary link to the web. The goal is to have her obey the commands of those with the chip? No free will of her own?
eccleastia (2:49:15 PM): Free will is only what you make of it.
eccleastia (2:49:26 PM): Truly truly I say to you, do you believe in free will?
eccleastia (2:49:51 PM): I leave you with that to consider.
eccleastia (2:49:55 PM): Good day.
eccleastia signed off at 2:50:00 PM.

(I had set my buddy icon to a cat picture hoping that Syn would be all, "Yay!" but she never mentioned it, so I'd totally forgotten. I cleared it soon after Clea complained.)

Also, it's stuff like this:
Quote:
OmniEmp (2:43:08 PM): Well, yeah. But not through any fault of her own?
eccleastia (2:43:15 PM): ...
eccleastia (2:43:24 PM): No... through none of her own.
OmniEmp (2:44:11 PM): You know she doesn't deserve to be stuck in a tank, forever silent. There's got to be another solution.
eccleastia (2:44:32 PM): Not my choice.
that makes me think she's not irredeemable.

 		Well, this just happened a little while ago (my timestamps are in ET), so no, she's still offline. No one else talked with her?

Incidentally, I'm pretty sure I'm right in assuming that this was legitimately in-game, yes? I was wary at first, but she sounded awfully Clea-y. Boy, that sure is hard to pronounce.

Next step, kill the Devil!!! Whoo!!! Mr. Green

What's with the silence? I'm worried about Wiskie.

 		I couldn't get my IRC to work correctly, so I can't transcribe what happened there. Here is my AIM conversation:

OopsDaOgre (4:33:09 PM): Greetings. How are you today?
eccleastia (4:33:34 PM): Better than usual.
OopsDaOgre (4:33:51 PM): That is goo. Her silence is helping you think clearly?
eccleastia (4:34:48 PM): Possibly.
OopsDaOgre (4:35:04 PM): I almost fear to ask. Is her current silence voluntary?
eccleastia (4:36:19 PM): I'd like to make sure it's not.
eccleastia (4:36:22 PM): But yes, it is.
eccleastia (4:36:28 PM): Tha.... than...
eccleastia (4:36:31 PM): Thank you.
OopsDaOgre (4:37:00 PM): You are welcome. Although I was not among those present when it was suggested to her.
OopsDaOgre (4:37:22 PM): I shall pass your gratitude on to the others.
eccleastia (4:37:40 PM): Yeah, sure, whatever.
OopsDaOgre (4:40:01 PM): Is there anything I could do to help you feel better? I am not currently convinced that her destruction is justified, and even if I were there, I am neither a neurosurgeon nor an engineer, so I doubt I could sever the link for you. Are there other tasks that might make things more bearable for the both of you?
OopsDaOgre (4:40:55 PM): I apologize for any excess verbage, but I do not want to misspeak.
eccleastia (4:40:57 PM): You know what... why don't I just bring myself to you...
OopsDaOgre (4:41:22 PM): If that is possible, you would be welcome to my hospitality.
eccleastia (4:42:02 PM): Is that better?
OopsDaOgre (4:42:36 PM): I fear that I've sensed no change in our circumstances.
eccleastia (4:42:46 PM): Join the chat.
eccleastia (4:42:48 PM): Join your chat.

At this point, confused because I didn't see her in the IRC, I created a chat for her. The rest follows:

You are now in chat room "Chat 32478919152997181406."
eccleastia has entered the chat room.
OopsDaOgre (4:43:23 PM): Is this better?
eccleastia (4:43:29 PM): Are you that stupid?
eccleastia (4:43:34 PM): Or do you not participate in their chats?
OopsDaOgre (4:43:54 PM): Apparently not.
OopsDaOgre (4:44:21 PM): No one else seems to be on AIM currently.
eccleastia (4:45:47 PM): Do you not know of the #synagoga room?
OopsDaOgre (4:46:01 PM): IRC?
eccleastia (4:46:38 PM): True.
OopsDaOgre (4:46:59 PM): I am there as well, but nobody appears to be active. Sorry.
OopsDaOgre (4:48:20 PM): Unless you are referring to a different host than the one I am familiar with.
OopsDaOgre (4:49:42 PM): My connection closed and you were there when I reconnected.
eccleastia has left the chat room.

PlanB, cursing his software

 		Here's my AIM transcript. I'm afraid I was totally at a loss for stuff to say. And now I remember all the things I'd like to ask her. Grrrrr.

Quote:
OmniEmp (5:32:06 PM): Hello.
eccleastia (5:33:03 PM): You.
eccleastia (5:33:05 PM): Hello.
eccleastia (5:33:18 PM): What do they call you again?
eccleastia (5:33:19 PM): Reel?
OmniEmp (5:33:21 PM): Yes.
eccleastia (5:33:26 PM): Right.
OmniEmp (5:33:51 PM): Why? Has something happened?
OmniEmp (5:33:56 PM): Silence?
OmniEmp (5:35:28 PM): So, free will, huh? I believe that we choose our actions, within the confines of our circumstances.
eccleastia (5:35:52 PM): So you thought about what I said.
OmniEmp (5:36:58 PM): Yes. Do you disagree? Your religious beliefs include free will, don't they?
eccleastia (5:37:27 PM): They do, but I like to re-consider it.
eccleastia (5:37:43 PM): I like the thought that my LORD guides me.
eccleastia (5:37:49 PM): But, with recent actions... I wonder.
eccleastia (5:39:35 PM): You know what... why don't I just bring myself to you...
OmniEmp (5:40:01 PM): how?
eccleastia (5:40:04 PM): Hold.

and then to irc.

 		[Request] IRC Log
Could someone please post a log of the IRC chat? And feel free to edit out my comments if you wish, since I was not seeing any activity in the room other than my comments, and thus haven't added anything to it...

PlanB, let me guess she was tarot all along...

 		What do you think she meant by "I am the one who walks on her feet"? She typed it in caps as if it had special meaning.

 		I think it's just basically that Syn's in the 'jar', and Cle's not. The caps were likely to represent YELLING!
