GALILEO | Text | who let this jerk in

[doctopussy]

I have three matters of note.

First, do we have a base of operations that is both secret from the government and mobile? If not, I have design specifications for something that may be able provide this, given assistance.

Second, I believe the position of Ambassador for De Chima is currently vacant. The role of Ambassador would no doubt be a tremendous asset to the cause, and this is an opportunity we should not squander. Perhaps you may disagree, but I believe it's something to consider.

Third, a question: how far are any of you willing to go for this organization?

The answer to all your questions is 'none of your business'. Secrets are secret for a reason.

Private
Get me your specs and I'll see what I can do with it. Send them through the Stars. Tell Antares I asked for them.

[doctopussy]

For the first two points, I can understand why the answers would need to be secret. I, however, was hoping to reduce redundancy.

Private

Are you a mechanical engineer?

Private

[dirtyredneck]

Yes.

Private

[doctopussy]

Do you have any experience with robotics or submersibles?

Re: Private

[dirtyredneck]

Yes.

[Well, Mako did. It was enough for him to get by pretty damn well on the topic.]

[doctopussy]

Then congratulations my monosyllabic friend, you may be of some use.

Do we seriously need an evil lair at this point? There isn't that many of us yet.

And duh, of course that's being worked on, it's just not for all of us to know.

someone needs better taste

[doctopussy]

Then perhaps a place where we can conduct research without government oversight. It doesn't need to be for "all of us". That you feel a so-called lair needs more than one person at all reveals your lack of experience with such matters.

Ah yes, the need for secrecy. Of course.

seriously

[sleight_of_hand]

Well excuse me for spending most of my time on the abiding side of the law.

Good luck finding a place like that. We can't even leave the porter cities without automatically getting marked as AWOL if we don't kiss government ass first.

[doctopussy]

Building a place like that, my pale blue associate. Everything one builds has to be subject to limitations, and if you consider the government as a limitation when crafting the design, avoiding detection becomes a mere afterthought.

A better question would be why you would align yourself with the ideals of a group such as this if you're so law-abiding.

[sleight_of_hand]

I'll take your word on that then. It's out of my field of expertise.

I said most of my time. Everyone has one bad day, even detectives. Besides, I'm in no rush to go home, and I rather not have to worry about the porter deciding to send me back again.

[doctopussy]

One bad day. Yes, I'm quite aware how one bad day may cause a unique shift in perspectives.

You seek control. And you trust that the Constellation will give you that control, that they will not decide to send you to your own world on a whim, unlike the Porter. I believe we also have that in common.

[lempereur]

Do you intend to run, yourself?

[doctopussy]

I am willing to take the first step if necessary, but as I'm being so reminded I will undoubtedly have to wait for the Stars to make a decision.

[lempereur]

Of course. I hope that they decide in your favor, holding such an office could be a great asset to us.

[doctopussy]

I appreciate the vote of support. I agree as well, though I confess I'm curious as to whether or not that's already the case. I'm sure if it were, it would be a secret, so my curiosity is mostly moot.

[lempereur]

I'm sure if it were, we would be seeing faster progress.

[doctopussy]

That is a decent point. Therefore for now we must assume the answer is no.

[driftsintobuffetline]

3. Not far enough if it involves me running for political office.

[doctopussy]

I take that is not within your realm of expertise?

[driftsintobuffetline]

PEOPLE are not within my realm of expertise.

Socially, I mean. Biologically, yes. Politically, hell no.

[doctopussy]

You are a biologist?

[driftsintobuffetline]

Biologist and bioengineer. Among other skills and fields of expertise.

You?

[doctopussy]

Nuclear physicist, along with biochemistry and mechanical engineering. Though I have also dabbled in other areas when the need arises.
