[For those who frequent the tops of the various climbable buildings in Hadriel, they might recognize that this broadcast is from the roof of one of them due to the angle; otherwise it's just a rapidly darkening cloudy sky for a backdrop, sun setting and rain clearly threatening to roll in at any time.
It's pretty, and that may or may not be the reason why Connor is out on a roof in the first place, but it's definitely not the point of this impromptu broadcast. He's just been wondering some things, and it's in his nature to actively search out answers rather than waiting for them to come to him, so he's decided to just go for it.]
Hello everyone; my name is Connor, and I just arrived a few days ago.
[Always good to start with introductions, and also to avoid saying exactly how many days or hours it's been since a given time when pretending to be human. He's getting a little better at this.]
I've been catching up on the situation at hand, and although the context is somewhat different, there are parallels to current events in my world that are difficult to ignore. Before I arrived, we were dealing with what might be the beginning of a civil war between humans and machines.
[He's trying to tread carefully, projecting enough genuine interest without sounding over-invested. He's just asking, after all, nothing more; there's definitely no personal reason why he wants to know.]
So I'm curious; I'm aware that what the Null have done is enough reason to be against them, but does what they are play any role in your feelings toward them?

[Although she's right; it's stupid. But then again, humans mostly are.]
So far.

[she wouldn't disagree]
Sorry I can't be more help. The Null were way before my time here.

[He shouldn't have said it; he's been trying to appear neutral on the conflict in his world, but that response probably makes it apparent he isn't. But it's not as though he could have really responded to what she said any other way, far too personally involved to manage it.]
There's no need to apologize.
[It isn't her fault if she doesn't know, especially if she wasn't around for everything.]
video
[she'd think it's the kind of conflict you can't be neutral about. either you're okay with letting someone who can think and feel be bought or you aren't. she definitely isn't. she doesn't particularly care that they're machines, it's a matter whether or not they can consent. and consent is a big deal in her former line of work]
Okay. Well, thanks?
video
And in not wanting to respond to that part of things, he's left only with her last comment, which he can't tell if supposed to be sarcasm or not. Either way, might as well be polite--]
You're welcome.
video
So, enough about the Null. Are you meeting a lot of new people?
video
[But he's not super thrilled about it; most of them have been stupid at best.]
There have been a few who are interesting.
video
Yeah? Like who? Maybe I know 'em already. Or should know them, I'm still pretty new here myself.
video
[As opposed to those who basically just offered nonsense.]
video
And it seems like most people aren't being total assholes, so that's good. Though, it also sounds like a lot of people don't have first-hand experience with the Null other than "oh, I heard from a friend of a friend" kind of thing.
