It doesn't necessarily mean it's the same thing. It just means I'm not as immediately baffled by descriptions of such behavior. I don't know what manner of science could do something similar.

I would like to know everything.

[cargojet]

Sure, sure, you said. You'd like to know everything. I just can't shake the feeling that's playing right into its hands in some way.

But what can you do? Ignorance isn't that appealing; if it was, you and I wouldn't be having this conversation.

[darkart]

I believe it'll be a matter of balancing what you want and what you're willing to sacrifice to get it. I want answers; I'm not willing to throw myself into an abyss knowing I'll come out mentally compromised as a gamble for those answers. So instead it appears I'll be playing a longer game. The sense of urgency from the powers that be - 'Hurry hurry, oh, now what if you've missed it?' - isn't one I think all of us should be courting. Some of us, perhaps.

How've you been this jump? Since the hallways.

[cargojet]

Maybe some of us. I like to go back and forth, keep the damn thing guessing. The best way to keep from being played is not to follow your own rules. Shake it up. Predictability leads to an early death--and it's not much fun, either.

I've been better, frankly, than I was before. It showed my son, twisted him up when I didn't do what it wanted and jump into the bright light with both feet. You know that old phrase "Know thine enemy"? Well I know mine. I looked into his eyes, and I told myself never to trust what I see.

Corridors are still a no-go zone, but the parlor tricks are losing their effectiveness.

[darkart]

I suppose my boss was a soft option, given what you and others seem to have gone through.

Don't say that too loud. Tempting fate. And fate seems like something popular here, given the fixation on Roman mysticism.
