AUDIO. UN: LOKI.

[ tap, tap—is this thing on? ]

Well, Audentes, it’s certainly be a trip. [ and he says that with finger quotes. ] Out of the frying pan and into the fire, that should be our motto.

[ for someone stuck in a maze, Loki still manages to find his confidence. ]

As we take a stroll through the maze and await the next hit single of its proprietor, I—or we, rather—would like to share a few words with you. Our Zymandis tag-a-long has spoken with us regarding some of our curiosities.

Unlike ALASTAIR, Zymandis has a fully functional chain of command, all the way from the higher ups to the underlings. Commanders and sub-commanders and the whole bit, going all the way to the tippy top under their leader … you know—Leader. [ he’s just gonna add that right in on there as a good rub. ] They recruit based on volunteers, and have seen their own share of those slipping through the cracks in the multiverse to end up where they are. It seems that this Mavahari is indebted to them through her rescue, and has pledged her life to follow their blah blah blah rebirth narrative blah blah blah.

Not only that, but they believe that the rebirth itself will prevent the next shatter of our dear multiverse. If the entropy is allowed to play out as is, the result will be much of what happens with Surtur gets his hands on something—burnt to a crisp.

Now, we’re not here to start another back-and-forth, however … we still do have the little detail of our Zymandis stowaway. She’s a political assassin, so I’d suggest not doing much to anger her. [ he’s looking at you Thor. ] For now at least.

[ OOC NOTE | please feel free to threadjack, discuss, &c! the thread with the Zymandis agent is here for all who'd like to reference it. ]

Indeed, and some of the most important pieces no less.

I'm mostly interested in seeing if we can convince this Zymandis agent to come to our side. Having inside knowledge could help us avoid them at the very least.

Do you truly think she could be?

[While she totally agrees with the idea, she...has concerns. Then after a second:]

I suppose it won't hurt to at least try....

Either that or we can leave her on this rock and take her jewelcomm. The AI in it sounds more sympathetic to us, anyway.

Does it? That's...quite interesting.

I don't really pretend to know a lot about AIs, but I've met robots with their own opinions and ideas. Doesn't surprise me one bit.

I suppose it just makes me wonder how many more of their AI's have the same opinion.

[That's...assuming they have more than one.]

...huh. Well, I guess there's only really one way to find that out.

Very true.

[personal profile] whatshimadayou 2017-07-16 06:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Many of the agents we have encountered have been righteous zealots committed to their cause. You think she could change her mind?

...I am not. Saying it is a bad idea. [His voice is a little stilted in saying so.] Simply that it is not an easy thing to do.
whatshimadayou: (grump)

[personal profile] whatshimadayou 2017-07-18 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
Then why would she be interested in joining us?
whatshimadayou: (SERIOUSLY THO WHY)

[personal profile] whatshimadayou 2017-07-18 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
Do you think she believes that? True as it might be.
whatshimadayou: (kinda thoughtful)

[personal profile] whatshimadayou 2017-07-18 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
[well if hanzo knows anything about honor]

If that is how she functions, then I may agree. What of the possibility of betrayal?
whatshimadayou: (without him i am lost)

[personal profile] whatshimadayou 2017-07-18 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
If she truly has honor, then she will abide by it. It overrides other beliefs. If she commits an act that goes against it, then she may feel it is necessary to do anything to remedy it.

It would put us at an advantage, finally. If you and Fiona both think this can work for us, then I am inclined to agree. [Reluctantly, but.]

You should try talking to her. She's not a zealot -- or at least she doesn't sound like one.

...Perhaps I will.

Our previous interactions with them have not encouraged a different perception. But you are not stupid.

Meh. Everyone has room for improvement.
