TURN 1

[idolpro]

[ A cardboard . . . ? robot . . . ? stands in front of you. ]


"Hello. I am sst#50001. Please help me become human."

---

1. Look inside for "humanity".
   
2. Look outside for "humanity".

[Oh boy, Nyx LOVES mad scientist experiments. How about he goes over to look at this poor fish stuck in a tiny tank instead of immediately opening the can of worms that is looking inwards for his own humanity.]

Re: TURN 1

[bondsofsuffering]

Ohhh boy.

Re: TURN 1

[forgottenmercy]

What, ah, exactly do you mean by being human...?

Re: TURN 1

[sancrimony]

. . . Well, then. What a question.

Re: TURN 1

[sancrimony]

Oh? Do you recognize it?

Re: TURN 1

[sancrimony]

Well, well. I wonder who among us can answer this question . . .

Re: TURN 1

[sancrimony]

Perhaps that is the point. . . ?

Re: TURN 1

[bondsofsuffering]

Good question.

Re: TURN 1

[drownout]

Not at all.

Re: TURN 1

[forgottenmercy]

It, ah, seems so...

So it, ah, falls to us to determine...

Re: TURN 1

[drownout]

I suppose it would be too easy if they just meant physically...

Re: TURN 1

[bondsofsuffering]

Wanna get out of here?

Re: TURN 1

[drownout]

"Hurry up and play properly if you want to leave"?

Re: TURN 1

[bondsofsuffering]

Let's be real, that's probably the solution.

Re: TURN 1

[sancrimony]

Ah.

[ like he immediately understands ]

. . . Well, I suppose you'd prefer not to play, then?

Re: TURN 1

[drownout]

Yes, yes, I know. ...Well, I don't know what sort of philosophical drivel the producers are hoping for, but at least we're one of the best units suited to answering the "physical" aspects of that question. I suppose.

Re: TURN 1

[bondsofsuffering]

Should I go on a whole lecture about human genetics?

Re: TURN 1

[forgottenmercy]

It, ah, would, yes...

Re: TURN 1

[drownout]

...I was just putting it off for a moment, like the irresponsible child I am. I don't think I have any "interesting" answers to give in the way of philosophy, though.

Re: TURN 1

[drownout]

You may as well, for the "definition" portion. I don't want to ask where we're to get the parts for the "completion" portion, though...

Re: TURN 1

[drownout]

Especially for this unit. ...Well, I suppose we can start there anyway.

Re: TURN 1

[bondsofsuffering]

It looks like we have two options to start with...

Inside, or outside?

Re: TURN 1

[drownout]

...are we assuming "inside" means the personality or the guts.

Re: TURN 1

[forgottenmercy]

Let us, ah, begin, then...
