[ Kasumi's preferred method of dealing with the network is much like her preferred approach to life in general: lurk in the shadows, occasionally emerge to poke things just to see if they're entertaining. But every now and then, she has something she actually wants to say. This is one of those times.

Everyone's been buzzing about all these puzzles and riddles that have been showing up, and she's been keeping an eye on it more or less, though she can't say she's particularly engaged by it. That shows in her voice when she starts to speak. ]

Since we all seem to be enjoying thought puzzles so much these days, here's one to try out: What would you do if you found out that nothing you did had any real life consequences? Not for you or for anyone else. Not now or in the future.

Would you still follow the "rules" or would you toss them out and have a little fun?

I don't know. As Mordin might say: [ Kasumi slips into her best stab at a Mordin impression ] Occam's razor. Even in apparent complexity. Simplest solution most likely correct.

[Tali is trying not to laugh. She's -- trying very hard and not completely succeeding.]

Well, we'll just have to see.

[ DRAMATIC SIGH. ]

I guess so. Or maybe we'll never know. That's always the problem with philosophical theories.

That's why they've never been my forte.

No concrete facts.

Maybe that's why I like asking them sometimes. They force people to think outside of the box. And I'm always happiest when I'm outside the box.

Not all of us are so comfortable there. I think I prefer it when I have at least a vaguely good idea of what's going on.

[Which has made this place just great so far.]
