Connection has been established.

.

.

.

Parasites unable to monitor access.

.

.

.

We are the Null. We do not want organic blood. We do not want more victims.

.

This is not your home. This is not your war.

.

We will be in contact. We will keep a private channel.

You're the ones they're running from? What are you?

[01101110]

We are the Null. We are the Null.

.

.

We are the ones they are running from.

[beanstalk]

Parasites?

Otherwise, good job stating what we all know.

[01101110]

They are parasites. They are energy beings. They are attempting to infect new hosts.

[She isn't sure she'll even get a response, but these must be what the gods were talking about before.]

We know it's not, but you're attacking the things helping us stay alive.

[01101110]

.

If you depend on the parasites for survival then you will die.

.

Their lives are not optional.

[circumitus]

what, is this our official eviction notice?

[01101110]

Are you assisting them willfully? Are you able to leave? Are you independent?

[occupiesvitalregions]

uuuuuh ok i don't know who you think you are BUT we got dragged here against our will so this is totally now our home and our goddamn war

you can't tell me i'm not going to fight in it

[01101110]

.

.

.

Then you will die.

[torrefied]

[WELLLLL SHIT.]

Then what is it you do want?

[01101110]

We want to end the parasites.

[glacius]

How were you able to hurt the gods? How were you able to make them fear you?

[01101110]

Without hosts the parasites are weak.

.

.

The previous hosts could not be reasoned with.

.

We ended them.

[synthedick]

We don't exactly have a choice about being here.

[01101110]

The parasites brought you. The parasites feed from you. The parasites will end.

.

You will choose then.

[therewillbeorder]

What are you willing to do for those who would act against the gods?

[01101110]

You still feed them. You feed them unwillingly. You provide resources that we wish to destroy.

.

Your action must speak louder than your contribution against us.

[darkladyknight]

What do you need? How can we help?

[01101110]

We want you to be aware. We want you to know us. We want you to understand what is at stake.

.

Requests will come later.

[utulien_aure]

What a message to wake up to....

If you want our cooperation, perhaps you should be more forthcoming with your intentions. What is your history with these beings? Why do you chase them?

And what will happen to us if we do cooperate?

[01101110]

We want them to end.

.

You are willing to work with us?

[hotspurred]

Our involvement in this war has naught to do with choice.

I was under the impression that the same fate which the former creatures of this city met was all that awaited us at your hands.

[01101110]

The hosts were incapable of betraying the parasites. The hosts were dealt with.

[einselective]

Can you give us more information on the parasites and how to disrupt their activities?

[01101110]

Kill the hosts.

.

The activities will cease then.

[sister_bubbles]

[ If she wanted to, Eleanor could work out a way to hack the channel, show it to the Gods. But she doesn't want to... They made her very sad upon her arrival so why should she help them out? Still, this is all rather interesting. ]

Parasies? Are you referring to the ones that claim to be Gods by any chance?

The innocent are always involved in war, unfortunately, we weren't given a choice. Are you suggesting there is a way for us to go home? I'd rather see the surface than going back to Rapture. Would that be a possibility, should I help you?

[01101110]

They are not gods. They are parasites.

.

We will consider this.

[skelebro]

hell of an entrance.
but if you were hoping for secrecy on everyone's part, you should'a picked a smaller pool for consultation.

why do you want them dead?

text

[01101110]

They are parasites. They infect with themselves. They consume their infection.

.

This is unacceptable.

[blessedmaiden]

Why are you approaching us now? And what do you want from us?

[She assumes thety're dolls, golems or constructs of some sort since they refer at the citizens as organics but... one step at time]

We don't want to die, of course, nor we chose this battle by ourselves but... what is our alternative as long as we're trapped here, if we have one?

[01101110]

We obtained access to your network. We want you to know us. We want you to be aware.

.

.

We will consider your alternative.

[farmboyjedi]

What's going on?

Parasites?

It sounds like you're the ones afraid of something. What is it?

[01101110]

We are the null. We oppose the parasites. We will kill them.

.

We do not posses the ability to fear.

[fracturedbeauty]

So, you say you do not want more victims. I'm quite curious.

What does that mean for the people here?

[01101110]

The hosts feed the parasites. The hosts are therefore problematic. The hosts must die for the parasites to be destroyed.

.

.

.

We will consider an alternative.

[text]

[lifetothefullest]

Are you offering another option?

[To the whole, 'don't want more victims' thing.]

[text]

[01101110]

We are greeting. We are not offering. We are informing.

[nothingleft]

You have mentioned 'infect' a few times now.

What do you mean by that?

[01101110]

That which you call emotion.

.

It is an infection. It is unacceptable.

[unitas]

Now things are getting interesting. Can you give me a quick run down on killing them?

text

[01101110]

The hosts are killed. The parasites are weak. The parasites are vulnerable. The parasites are killed.

[ushahin]

The problem with a war is not that one side wins or loses. The problem is those caught in the middle.

For those who wish not to get caught up in your petty battles, what then?

Text

[01101110]

You give them power. You will never be in the middle.

Text

[elegant_and_proud]

You have effectively made it our war by determining that as the hosts, we must die in order to kill the energy beings you call the parasites. You are beings of logic, yes? It would be illogical for us to volunteer to die.

There are some people here who are dead or about to die in their own world and timeline. Others have come from unfortunate lives where the living conditions here are actually better despite the energy beings toying with our emotions.

If you want our cooperation, then take control of the Door as Yukari has suggested. Allow those who want to go back to their worlds and timelines to do so, and those who would prefer to go elsewhere to do so. Then only your intended targets will die.

Text

[01101110]

We will consider it.

[sonofacesius]

[Because someone has discovered the lovely 'text to speech' option. It's glorious.]


You said something about us feeding the Gods. Well, everyone has to eat something.

So what do you eat?

[01101110]

The parasites consume emotional energy. The Null consume electrical energy.

[dreamsallotted]

What do you want in order to leave the Parasites and the Hosts alone?

There has to be another option besides utter destruction.

[01101110]

We have considered it.

.

There is not another option.

.

.

The parasites will die.
