[manufactured]

[Someone who's been here for over a year, for one thing.]

Are you going to listen, or are you going to continue willfully missing the point?

[blondferret]

It's going to depend on if what you're saying makes sense or not.

[manufactured]

I'm not simply going to tell you what you want to hear, you know. Given that you've been jumping to a fair few conclusions already and I've only just met you, I can only assume that's what you want.

[blondferret]

For someone who claims I jump to conclusions, you're doing a great job of it yourself. I said "if what you're saying makes sense or not." Not, "Only if I like it." Can you not read?

[manufactured]

Can you, or did you skip the explanation for why that was said entirely? Given that that particular explanation is why this is a discussion in the first place, that's somewhat telling.

[blondferret]

I MEANT LOGICALLY YOU DUMBASS!

[Oh my gosh.. Derek!]

[manufactured]

Clearly, the last bastion of logic and rationality.

[wesker no]

[blondferret]

You mock me, but you have yet to explain what I could possibly do to prepare for this possible doomsday even you seem so convinced could happen this month. So you either write something and try to explain your point to me or I will continue to think you're just a bunch of hot air.

[manufactured]

Reread the initial remarks that you responded to at the start of all this, and tell me that I didn't already do that. You were the one who jumped to assuming that I was telling you it needed to be prevented entirely for some reason.

[blondferret]

I doubt the layers have or will collapse again considering there are still colors outside my window and the NPC's are still here. This is clearly going o be something different.

How exactly do you expect us to keep track of people when Retrospec is messing with our minds and changing things? I know something happened last month to my memories but I don't know what. Now if I can't even prevent/prepare some world manipulating company from messing with my brain, I fail to see how I could possibly prepare for anything worse.

You act like we're preparing for some war or something. Sometimes shit just happens and there is nothing you can do about it.

[manufactured]

Even if we were to place all the blame on Retrospec - which I don't - you do realize that corporations like Retrospec aren't invincible, don't you? I've brought down things like that in my past life, and if absolutely needs be I don't see why it can't be done again.

[blondferret]

What were you in your past life?

[manufactured]

An incredibly angry, very determined person, to be honest.

In terms of profession, I was a scientist. A researcher working on a cure for ebola shortly after it was discovered, specifically.

[blondferret]

An Angry Scientist? Are you sure you weren't a Mad Scientist?

[manufactured]

I had my reasons for being discontent, to put it gently. I found out about something my employer did that didn't sit well with me, and as such I took down his corporation.

[blondferret]

And how exactly did you take down his corporation? And what didn't set well with you?

[manufactured]

Brute force. Not a terribly elegant solution, but an effective one.

As for the rest, let's say that there were some extremely unethical experiments done on children.

[blondferret]

Brute force?

Was your other self one of those self proclaimed anti-hero's?

[manufactured]

I never claimed that anything I was doing was heroic back then, and I'm certainly not going to start now.

[blondferret]

What do you call it then?

[manufactured]

Back then I considered it judgement.

[blondferret]

[Oh my gosh this guy is nuts!]

What the hell man? Who gave you the right to make that kind of call?

[manufactured]

Sometimes that right has to be claimed, particularly from those who - I'll remind you - feel they have the right to perform heinous experiments on children.

[blondferret]

You couldn't just call the proper authorities?

[manufactured]

It was a large enough corporation - with more than enough power - to ensure that it couldn't be touched by normal means. They had more than enough people both on the police force and within the government for that sort of thing to be impossible.

I won't claim that what I did was right, or that I was a good person. But I'm not going to apologize for that particular action.
