The parasite known as 'Hope' revives the others. Its death will end that.

[circumitus]

he also revives anyone else who dies.
what you're suggesting is that we sacrifice our only chance at people coming back when they're killed, whether it be by you, them, or any of us.

[01101110]

The parasite's resurrections are unnatural. You sacrifice only what should be unneeded.

[circumitus]

one could easily make the same argument about your kind.

[01101110]

Argument does not logically follow.

[circumitus]

logically speaking, synthetics aren't exactly made through natural means.
am just as unnatural.

not to mention there are those here with similar abilities that could be seen just as unnatural as the gods.
would you just as well destroy them?

[01101110]

Question is irrelevant. None there have abilities identical to the parasites.

[circumitus]

how do you know that for CERTAIN?

[01101110]

The judgment is not in doubt.

[circumitus]

just because you act like you know us doesnt mean you actually do. many of us dont fit your definition of "logic"

the weapons you talked about tho - are they masers?

[01101110]

'Masers' is an unknown designation.

[circumitus]

they're common weapons from my world.
uses a type of energy in the microwave range.

those "parasites" said they were killed by weapons similar, so they didn't want it in our possession, even on the small scale.
needless to say, doubt they'd ever be willing to produce extra charges for the masergun. figured the weapons you said your people could provide might be more comparable.

[01101110]

Yes. Our weapons are similar. They are effective against the parasites.

[circumitus]

[If they're effective against the "parasites", then they should work against the Null, right? They're going to need better weapons than spears and swords to deal with these guys, after all.]





understood.

how do you plan to provide us with such weapons, and when should we expect them? you dont want to make your move too obvious.

[01101110]

We have a conduit.

.

The time will be determined.

[circumitus]

[And how will they know which ones are on board with their scheme, and which ones aren't? Rey wants to know, but isn't sure just how aware these guys are in terms of their ability to judge character. Better not to give them reason for suspect.]

fine.
will be on standby for them.

[01101110]

You will be contacted again.
