Right, question.

Actually two.



First: Imagine you're being chased for a long time. You're unarmed, and yer injured. About to keel over. You can only carry one thing as you're running: a cell phone [a pause, and a rustle - he's waving his hand] or whatever you people use to communicate; or some food.

Which one do you take, and why?



Second question: who here can deal with high tech gadgets? I got a thing that needs checking before we head to the next mission.

communication.

Communication items can be taken apart, made into other things if necessary.

Food? Food can spoil, go bad, make you ill--it won't always sustain you. Water would be a better option, but you didn't make it one.

And I deal well with high tech things.

[prizeneck]

[Interesting. This guy is the first replying with a starker difference.]

Even if that means ya gotta sit and wait for the others?

[neutronium]

Why would I have to sit and wait for anyone?

You didn't say where I was. Food can be found everywhere.

Also, hiding sometimes is a better tactic to throw someone off your trail.

Alphas often find it beneath them, thinking standing to fight is best.

But to be smart, to sit, calculate, wait, form a plan--that is the way to win.

[prizeneck]

[He's actually nodding at this, though he can't help but snort at the "alphas" comment. ] Saying such nice things all of a sudden.

Nah, that does make sense. Making use of whatever is your strongest suit is only good strategy. But this is why I made the question purposefully vague.

[neutronium]

Nice has never been a word associated with me. I assume you are being sarcastic.

Can I ask why you are asking?

[prizeneck]

Huh, sarcastic? Nah. That would be assuming I'm normal, to begin with.

Tryin' to understand people a little better, is all.

[neutronium]

What is normal?

And no one wants to 'understand' people without an ulterior motive.

[prizeneck]

[He snorts.] Heard it's some sort of mystic beast.

We're here as a group effort, right? [Why are you people so suspicious. Jeez]

[neutronium]

So they say.

But really, in the end, at the very end, it's every man for themselves.

[prizeneck]

That can be true for some. I got some interesting answers anyway.

[neutronium]

It's true for all. We all die alone, even when in mass.

I suppose you did. Which I bet was your point.

[prizeneck]

Sure, but you may be with someone when that heartbeat of yours stops. If you're not purposeful until then, then you may as well have died before.

It was. At least it got me to confirm some suspicions I had regarding this cell.

[He sounds amused.] Something tells me you have drawn to the same conclusions even without this broadcast, though.

[neutronium]

[Hux disagrees; with someone or not, you're still going to death alone.]

Of course.

You continue to be interesting; better than boring, thankfully.

[prizeneck]

[Here's some genuine curiosity.] Huh. I'm many things, but "interesting" is not what most people use to describe me.

[neutronium]

Well I'm not most people, am I?

[prizeneck]

Guess not.
