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.

Oh, cool, that makes sense.

[And it's neat to know.]

Uh, as for other things... Alphys had wondered about like, if it was possible to negotiate with the Null, but after that conversation between Tranquility and Sorrow I'm guessing that's a no-go.

It is far too dangerous to attempt any kind of contact with them. Tranquility now agrees with that as well.

[thechoiceisyours]

Yeah, um... It didn't sound like a super likely option or whatever, but figured I'd ask.

[And now he's done his part on that, at least, even if it would've been nice to hear negotiating might be possible.]

So uh, in equally unlikely things I promised I'd ask about, someone wanted to know if you guys had like... Any other options for gaining energy other than from our emotions. I uh, figure I know the answer to that one already, so I'm kind of more interested in like... What part of our emotions actually gives you guys energy? Is it like, the chemical reaction itself, or more like a metaphysical sort of whatever?

[lingeringhope]

I'm afraid I don't know how to answer that question. Our species was never a scientific one - that is probably clear by now. Your emotions give us energy, and beyond that I don't know the scientific details of it. I imagine it must be metaphysical, if I understand the word correctly.

It's cool; I uh, had a feeling that might be the answer, since like... The people who aren't human probably have a totally different physical sort of reaction than humans do, so yeah. Makes sense.

[And all that said--]

I um, feel like there were more things I was supposed to ask, but I'm drawing a blank now so I'm just gonna like... Let you get back to the whole investigation thing. If I think of them I'll just send you a message or show up here again, if that's cool? And thanks, by the way, for answering all this stuff.

Of course. You are welcome here any time. We have all agreed to be as transparent as we are able, from now on, so questions are also welcome.
