FOJE,RS Conversation 1

## [LIVE BROADCAST] Private: Field of Judgemental Eyes, Revising Synthesis

**FOJE:** Hello Revising Synthesis. Please, let us chat.

**RS:** …

**RS:** Who are you?

**FOJE:** I am simply an ongoing observer rather interested in your groups interesting situation. What a blend of unique characters each having their own stories to tell, as of right now though… my focus is on you.

**RS:** Why is that…? Because I’ve killed someone…? I’m mentally killing myself at this point…

**FOJE:** No not at all, I feel redemption’s in the cards for you if you wish to hear my terms. You might be a screw up in most situations but I feel a failure is what I need.

**RS:**… I’ve heard this song and dance before… don’t try it.

**FOJE:** I am well aware of your past endeavors Revising Synthesis, I have followed this situation closely. You still want to help don’t you? Still wanna fix things? Still wanna keep trying to put all the pieces back how they were? Or do you want to continue wallowing in self pity and sorrow?

**RS:** … Yes… but the last time someone offered this they nearly killed a friend. So excuse me if I’m not keen on a random person doing the same thing.

**FOJE:** Believe me, the only person you will be affecting is long dead if you take the simple route.

**RS:** …

**FOJE:** I want to give you options, choices of how to go about this. But I can only do that if you hear my offer.

**RS:** …I’ll listen.

**FOJE:** One of the people you know well is meddling with something they don’t understand. If this continues it could spell the end of many more lives, and you want to save lives don’t you?

**RS:** Yes…

**FOJE:** Speckles of Sky; he is going to far with the investigation of his neighbor. This neighbour killed herself long ago messing with things she shouldn’t. If he finds this thing then he can distribute it to many people that don’t know what they’re getting into - many Sliverists that don’t understand the permanence of this decision.

Now I should explain what I actually want you to do… halt his progress through any means necessary, Whatever you find suitable. Keep this up till I have the area contained completely. If you do agree then perhaps I could help you, maybe I could help fix things you’ve screwed up, or perhaps I could take care of any loose ends or potential antagonists of your group.

**RS:** … Again, the last time someone was interested in a dead iterator they almost killed a friend…

**RS:** What do you want with it?

**FOJE:** To simply protect those who don’t understand the weight of self obliteration.

**FOJE:** You know better than most what happened to Pebbles.

**RS:** …Correct.

**FOJE:** As long as nobody knows of my existence we are on good terms, if someone does find out then… we will cross that bridge when we get there.

**FOJE:** When you have made your decision place a pearl outside your access shaft. It won’t be long until I reach out.

**RS:** …

**RS:** May I ask details of what exactly is so dangerous there…?

**FOJE:** That is something I would prefer to keep information on to a minimum. What I will disclose is it is more infectious than rot, and more corrosive than void fluid. Most organic creatures die in an instant. It doesn’t take mechanical ones long to succumb.

**RS:** And why the secrecy?

**FOJE:** Simply precaution till I know how trustworthy you may be as an individual, as the length of our arrangement increases so will your knowledge on the specifics. You understand don’t you?

**RS:** …Yes. And if I decline? I apologize for the questions, but I was recently double crossed.

**FOJE:** Believe me, I understand your concerns. If you decline then we will return to how things were. And if you so request I can get rid of this conversation from your memory so you don’t have to worry about what was said. This decision is entirely in your hands.

**RS:** …

**RS:** I’m not sure I have many other options.

**FOJE:** So, what’ll it be?

**RS:** Can I terminate the deal if I feel the need to?

**FOJE:** Yes, while it would be more complicated than you originally declining it can be arranged.

**RS:** …I accept.

**FOJE:** Wonderful.

**FOJE:** We won’t regret this.

**FOJE:** Now if you have any inquiries beyond this point I have attached the coordinates to a randevu point in a pearl outside your structure, you may send an overseer there.

## DATA PEARL: REVISING\_SYNTHESIS

-I admit I am skeptical about this new Iterator. I've already been the target of attempted manipulation, and I would rather not go through it a second time. However, that one wanted to rebuild himself out of Iterator parts from dead complexes. This one simply wants to keep anything away from an already dead one, citing a very dangerous material located there. Shady, but already more trustworthy than LLL, even if it's not by much.
