Good evening, Tranquility. I have two queries, unrelated.

With regards to the science department, I'd like to be directed towards any appointed leaders in this structure, as I have some general questions that might save me a bit of reading. Both in regards to whether I can be of assistance, and what has happened previously. I refer, of course, to the laboratories.

My second question pertains to the red-worded Smiley character. I think it wants this Charlotte person harmed, as opposed to simply found. As much as I too find her posting rather concerning, I'm moved to wonder what it could possibly gain from her being stopped. Or silenced.

I realise neither of those possess a single question mark. You'll have to humour me. You're welcome to use the picture/sound communications if that's easier.


Cheers,
Prof. Charles Xavier

Addendum: A third question, for those with technological and/or magic skill. Apropos of nothing, is there a means of securing a posting against one individual?

the other going theory is entertainment.
apologies but do you imagine yourself exempt from all this?

[anon text] 100% encryption

[doral]

truthfully

you're not that entertaining

if i was exempt we wouldn't be having this conversation

[forgodssake]

All right. what do you propose it has to gain from our survival?

[anon text] 100% encryption

[doral]

something you haven't consciously consented to

for starters

[forgodssake]

Consent hasn't entered into it thus far, I do not expect it to show up any time soon.
we do not even understand what 'it' is.

by process of elimination

we can be almost certain it isn't biological

[forgodssake]

Ruling out biological imperatives. Quality of life. survival.
What does that say for its motive?

wow

[forgodssake]

no?

[forgodssake]

apologies if ive caused offense, i've not talked to many who constitute 'non biological', but a few. I would gladly hear your perspective.

[doral]

as i was saying

[anon text] 100% encryption 2/2

[doral]

if it is biological

it isn't beholden to the same rules that dictate our survival

[text] 100% encryption

[forgodssake]

Survival remains a commonality. so does the Tranquility. most passengers trust Smiley enough to keep us alive.
codependence?

[doral]

possibly

In the natural world, there are several different kinds. symbiotic, synnecrotic, parasitic. I do not believe this situation to be one where anything thrives.

i'm unaware of any documented instance of it exhibiting symptoms of stress

as the only alternative to its coercion is ever death, willful resistance isn't a risk it's had to entertain

on a basic level

most people here want to survive

[text] 100% encryption

[forgodssake]

but it exists as a risk if we found another alternative

and in this particular instance, i cannot rule out other motives. the woman's safety among them. We are kept alive to remain where we are.
I want to know why.

in the case of charlotte

it 'won't do the work'

the implication is that it could

either it's lying or there's significance in decisive action being taken by the numbered

it also called her a 'mistake'. it has a preference towards her being corrected in some way. one doesn't use that term otherwise. it has limits.

either it's lying or there is significance in creating (having created) a relationship where passengers are compelled to do its bidding.

[doral]

it's not a relationship

it's a system
