[SPEC] The Secret Task

Well, it seems like Melissa is still suspect of herself (like she knows the Flea is messing with her). Since she's satisified that the few people she's contacted ARE her crew members, perhaps she's setting them up as independent fact-checkers she can rely on while she's not feeling herself- a safeguard against the evil machinations of the Flea.

I think she is going to ask them to fill in the blanks of her memory. Probably answering with information obtained in the .wav files.

Has every crewmember been asked to carry out a secret task? Or is it just a select few?

maybe they now have this unexplainable urge to head to Wyoming and find that the Apocolypso is now parked/crashed on top of Devil's Tower?

Mashed potato sculpture, anyone?

For that matter, I wonder if they would get a call saying, "I can't trust you" or something if they told us... and then would they be replaced? Not that we'll ever find out. :P

As for the task itself, I'm not very good at spec. Just no ideas. Note the postcount. :)

Well, I can tell you for sure, that I have recieved no orders yet. But then again, the minute I do, I probably won't be spreading it around. That was one of the conditions of the thing.

I suspect that it has something to do with providing new memories which will be recorded and used later.

fwiw, I don't recall her asking me to keep anything secret. But I could've missed that bit, or misremembered my conversation with her from earlier.

She did stress the importance of archiving, though, and recording things.

i also like the idea of the player becoming a plaything.

no secret tasks here either. but if i get one, well, i'll have to keep it secret. it seems these AIs can get pretty vindictive.

as for archiving, i guess i should invest in one of those recorder do-hickies so i can fulfill my obligations to the game...

It does sound like different crew members got different directives.

do you think our rank determines what tasks are asked of us?

turns out i'm enlisted. hope that means i can still do something interesting.

what does it take to get promoted in this outfit?
