Need to install cat flaps in some communal Temba buildings.
Hotel, Diner, Library are all on the list.
If you want to add or remove a location from it, let me know.
Otherwise, starting work in the next few days.

At least some of them seem willing to listen. I think the problem is more that they limit their interactions. They only seem to make an appearance and effort to communicate when they have need of something.

[quark_assassin]

That sounds a lot like a group of individuals that don't want to listen.
Unless it's what they already want to hear, anyway.

[small_compromise]

Can't really argue with that, especially with so little to go on.

Have you talked to them?]

[quark_assassin]

Unfortunately yes.
Have you?

[small_compromise]

Not yet.

[quark_assassin]

It's almost not even worth the effort.
They already have it in their stupid alien heads what they want to do and believe.
Trying to convince them to change their minds about anything is fucking pointless.

[small_compromise]

Well...I'm not sure what I'd be trying to convince them of. Just talking to them should be fine though, shouldn't it?

[quark_assassin]

Anything useful or beneficial for us, at all??
But I guess trying to tell them that they're doing something wrong or immediately harmful isn't fun for them, so.
They'll probably be fine with you just talking to them, as long as you keep it entertaining.

[small_compromise]

People don't usually like being told what to do, it's true. They seem to be trying to do things at least.

I don't know about entertaining, but I do want to know more about them.

[quark_assassin]

Doing things that benefit them, maybe.
Or things that they think we'll like, but if they're told we won't, they do it anyway.

I mean, I want to learn more about them too I guess.
I just don't think the Agrii themselves are credible sources.

[It doesn't seem like Dustin's likely to change his mind on anything any time soon. Omega frowns thoughtfully at her tablet.]

It doesn't seem like we have much choice for credible sources, unless something else is hidden in some part of the city.

[quark_assassin]

My thoughts exactly.
The Agrii have lost too much of their history and collective subconscious to even be capable of giving us reliable information.
We just have to find it ourselves.
Assuming any has been left intact that hasn't already been found, anyway.

[small_compromise]

It does look like someone's gone through a lot of trouble to destroy any records they might have had. But there has to be something that might've been overlooked. Maybe the Agrii who used to live here had secret places.

[quark_assassin]

That's what I'm banking on.
Shouldn't talk about it here, though.
Can't be sure who exactly is monitoring this network.

[small_compromise]

Understood. Then...I guess that's it for now?

[quark_assassin]

Sure.

[Finally, someone that understands!!]
