I appreciate the vote of confidence, though I do understand that it was more for Sorrow than for myself. Nevertheless, we will be undertaking an investigation shortly. Our main goal is to uncover any allies the Null have in the city - this should be no surprise.

However, I will admit that we have not conducted an investigation such as this before. Our kind never had any need to. As such, we would appreciate any constructive input you would like to give, as well as any assistance you may wish to offer. We have discussed this and decided on a course of action already, but Sorrow and I have agreed that some of you may have more experience with this sort of thing. It would be foolish of us to ignore that. We are listening to your suggestions.

However, please note that I said constructive input.

I am unwilling to share information that works against my interests, yes.

[He never pretended otherwise, at least.]

The Door is working as intended. If there is information you want that does not actively impede our chances of survival, then I'll give it to you.

[einselective]

You can tell us where it is, and everything you know about its activation and usage.

Otherwise, if you consider it to be 'working as intended', you'll keep bringing in people who would rather listen to the Null than yourself. If you don't think that works against your own interests, then you're a complete imbecile.

[Some of this frenetic attitude might be due to worries about what exactly would come of investigations, but at the same time... what are they going to do? Torture her? Like they do to some degree every month anyway?]

[thirdreturned]

Why? So you can experiment with it?

[Excellent suggestion.]

It operates on chaos. There is no fine tuning it to only capture those with a similar ideology- and even if there was, I wouldn't utilize it. The conflict gives us strength as much as anything else.

It's simply a matter of eliminating the part of the conflict that directly threatens our existence.

[einselective]

Yes exactly.

[The idea of experimentation on the thing is still better than nothing. But barring that...]

How incredibly dense are you? For entities that would rather be called gods, you're mentally feeble by human standards. I am telling you that you will never succeed at 'eliminating' people that favour the Null, as long as the Door is open and bringing people here against their will.

I've told you how it works. You choose not to believe me. You calling me an idiot for operating within the framework of a device that I am familiar with and you are not is, frankly, rather inept of you.

Do you have any more suggestions or will that be all?
