looking for some advice
preferably from other cyborgs
how do you take a shower like this without electrocuting yourself





turns out google isn't really helpful when it comes to this sort of thing

but isn't that what you were worried about
the possibility that retrospec is giving you these memories to make you be their "murder robot"

so what are the other lines then

[hauntedsavior]

Mm.

[Annalise isn't certain she appreciates being made to confront her fears (and the lies she's telling herself about them) like this.]

Anything that significantly interrupts me from what I have spent the greater part of my life in this city to try to accomplish. Anything that I cannot parlay into independent research. I have my goals. I will not be delaying them any further.

[ wow, give her the award for most obvious question dodging of the year! but that's okay, James isn't going to press on it. It's not like this is an interrogation, anyway. Just an exploration of where her boundaries on Retrospec are. ]

so basically anything
your line is doing literally anything for them

[hauntedsavior]

[she... takes him moving on as a mercy, truly; on her end, she sighs. she will need time to dissect this later.]

Not precisely. I had an enlightening discussion with John Egbert yesterday about using my education, my years of studying military history to serve as a tactician for him, should war come. This is a choice I make of my own volition, with my own power and with nothing granted to me by Retrospec.

[ KILL BILL SIRENS, they're preparing for war? John Egbert, the dorky dude who was grilling hot dogs, preparing for war???? ]

do you really think it's going to come to war
who do you think you will be fighting

[hauntedsavior]

I do not realistically think it will come to war. I think Clarence Vanderweele is going to attack at some point in some form that none of us are able to predict, and my skills will need to be utilized then.

I simply must assume he will come prepared for a war.

[frostythehitman]

why do you think clarence vanderweele is going to attack

[hauntedsavior]

He is the most likely candidate. He has the motive and the ability, and I doubt very much that someone without preexisting knowledge of how Retrospec works would be able to hack it as it is being hacked currently.

[frostythehitman]

so it's not so much about us vs retrospec
it's about clarence vanderweele vs retrospec and you just plan to get involved anyway

[hauntedsavior]

We are already victims in Vanderweele's assault on Retrospec. He has involved us. Or do you believe the layers collapsing was a coincidence?

[frostythehitman]

[ he doesn't even remember any layer collapse nonsense, thank you very much ]

i don't see what proof there is for vanderweele being the cause of that

[hauntedsavior]

There is little, true. It is merely speculation. But I cannot think of a better answer. Would you like to offer one?
