He tries not to.

[hypertoxic]

Tries?

You mean you actually have?

[deepspace]

Not yet. But it depends on the greater good.

[hypertoxic]

You'd 8e cruel if the CDC asked you? Seriously?

[deepspace]

Failing to comply would put you, the rest of the crew, our worlds, and possibly much more in danger.

The greater good.

[hypertoxic]

Danger? What if they asked you to hurt one of us, Pilot? Then you would 8E the danger.

[deepspace]

He hopes they would have a reason.

[Which isn't a real answer.]

Would you?

[hypertoxic]

[ She knows. And she realizes it is a conditional "yes." Pilot is full of surprises today. ]

Would I what? Comply if they asked me to fuck someone up?

[deepspace]

Yes. Would you?

[hypertoxic]

[ That is an unbelievably dangerous question. She well knows these networks aren't safe or private. She operates under the assumption that everything she does and says at all times can be witnessed or overheard by the instructors. Sometimes she doesn't care. But right now? This? This she has to care about. Insubordination.

How much is it worth to her to tell the truth? Is the truth worth the lives of her friends should the instructors find this and decide she's still too dangerous, too untamed?

If she lies, how transparent will it be?

When did she become a person so reluctant to kill? ]

Yes. If I had to.

[deepspace]

Then you know his answer.

[hypertoxic]

That's cheating.

[deepspace]

How so?

[hypertoxic]

Piggy8acking off my answer! Laaaaaaaazy.

[deepspace]

More like attempting to get you to understand this one's reasoning.

[hypertoxic]

Let's 8e honest, Pilot. Our reasons for saying yes to that question are pro8a8ly pretty different.

8ut that's still lazy!

[deepspace]

It's supposed to make one think.

He doesn't find it lazy at all.
