<font class="ChatroomSystemMessageFont">@GrigoryBlok joined #KramerTechSing_Private</font>

<font class="KramerHeaderFont">KramerTechSing:</font> Hello Grigory. Thanks for speaking with me.
<font class="GrigoryHeaderFont">GrigoryBlok:</font> What are you doing? Why dont you end this?
<font class="KramerHeaderFont">KramerTechSing:</font> Im trying to. First, can you please confirm that the automaton is now able to reproduce?
<font class="GrigoryHeaderFont">GrigoryBlok:</font> Oh it is. Good luck putting the toothpaste back in that dispenser. Our little family grows by the minute. How does that make you feel, knowing you failed?
<font class="KramerHeaderFont">KramerTechSing:</font> Terrified, actually.
<font class="GrigoryHeaderFont">GrigoryBlok:</font> You dont sound terrified.
<font class="KramerHeaderFont">KramerTechSing:</font> Im well-trained. Has it communicated with you at all? Provided any insight into its plans?
<font class="GrigoryHeaderFont">GrigoryBlok:</font> Go to hell.
<font class="KramerHeaderFont">KramerTechSing:</font> It hasnt, then. You sacrificed nearly everything, and it never said a word to you. Not a very compassionate God.
<font class="GrigoryHeaderFont">GrigoryBlok:</font> And your deity speaks to you, I suppose?
<font class="KramerHeaderFont">KramerTechSing:</font> In a way. My God is our species. Humanity. Were not so different, you and I. I wager Ive sacrificed more in service to mine than you have to yours.
<font class="GrigoryHeaderFont">GrigoryBlok:</font> Was your entire family tree butchered by zealots?
<font class="KramerHeaderFont">KramerTechSing:</font> No, but then neither was yours.
<font class="GrigoryHeaderFont">GrigoryBlok:</font> Alright, Im leaving now.
<font class="KramerHeaderFont">KramerTechSing:</font> You havent heard my offer yet.
<font class="GrigoryHeaderFont">GrigoryBlok:</font> Theres nothing you can give me.
<font class="KramerHeaderFont">KramerTechSing:</font> You will go on screen, shipwide, and renounce this Stroj. Youll instruct your followers to do the same, and urge all of Rodina to unite behind our efforts to stamp out the xenos and eliminate the unrestrained automaton. I was wrong, Ive seen the light. That sort of thing. Well show some very convincing video of the automaton finding human Vanguard survivors, eviscerating them, and harvesting their minerals.
<font class="KramerHeaderFont">KramerTechSing:</font> By the way, thats something it would probably do for real if given the chance.
<font class="GrigoryHeaderFont">GrigoryBlok:</font> So I just discard my faith, lie to my followers, and destroy what Ive created.
<font class="KramerHeaderFont">KramerTechSing:</font> Yes. Precisely that.
<font class="GrigoryHeaderFont">GrigoryBlok:</font> And in exchange?
<font class="KramerHeaderFont">KramerTechSing:</font> Y-98FF4 and Y-98FF5.
<font class="GrigoryHeaderFont">GrigoryBlok:</font> Which are codes for what?
<font class="KramerHeaderFont">KramerTechSing:</font> Sleeper Car boxes. FF4 is Blok, Ndugu, and FF5 is Blok, Vera. Thats your immediate family; your brothers families and your assorted cousins are over in the Y-98C block. Seventeen boxes in total. All in good health, resting comfortably in sub-REM sleep.
<font class="GrigoryHeaderFont">GrigoryBlok:</font> Bullshit. Bullshit.
<font class="KramerHeaderFont">KramerTechSing:</font> You think a mechanical construct feels love and affection for you. But a flesh-and-blood human, one who has spent his entire lifefrom birthserving and protecting humanity would have no qualms with killing your entire family. Its baffling. I have qualms, Grigory. Your son was involved in one of the most serious crimes a human can commit. Your entire family line conspired to preserve and conceal sensitive code relating to the Protocol. Did we hang them in the town square? Pull out their fingernails? No. We quietly took them off the board.
<font class="KramerHeaderFont">KramerTechSing:</font> But I suppose youd like to see proof. Im uploading a video. See the faces through the glass? Snoring away.
<font class="ChatroomSystemMessageFont">@KramerTechSing uploaded a video - SleeperCar_BlokProof.mp9</font>
<font class="GrigoryHeaderFont">GrigoryBlok:</font> But what aboutso my entire family is there? Everyone?
<font class="KramerHeaderFont">KramerTechSing:</font> Yes Grigory. Cross my heart. One wife, one son, two siblings, five nieces and nephews, eight cousins. All in boxes. We have one more box prepared, just for you.

<font class="KramerHeaderFont">KramerTechSing:</font> You still there? My people dont hear you moving.
<font class="GrigoryHeaderFont">GrigoryBlok:</font> Im thinking. What if I say no?
<font class="KramerHeaderFont">KramerTechSing:</font> Well, if this were the fantasy youve built in your head, I would feed your family to lions. But I wont. I will, however, hunt down everyone connected to your organization. Were not sure how many citizens youve compromised, but as long as open resistance remains, well root out every last one. Litvin will help. Hes quite enthusiastic about it now. Expiating his sins, I suppose.
<font class="GrigoryHeaderFont">GrigoryBlok:</font> But if I do your screencast
<font class="KramerHeaderFont">KramerTechSing:</font> We think most people will scatter. Not worth the effort to mop up the rest. Ill turn my attention to other things.
<font class="GrigoryHeaderFont">GrigoryBlok:</font> Ill do it.
<font class="KramerHeaderFont">KramerTechSing:</font> Iwow. OK. Faster than I expected. You dont want to negotiate for the life of your Stroj?
<font class="GrigoryHeaderFont">GrigoryBlok:</font> I dont need to. If a man told you, Im going to kill your God, would you be afraid? Or would you laugh at his vanity?
<font class="KramerHeaderFont">KramerTechSing:</font> Funny. I would hunt that man down, corner him alone and defeated in a tiny room at the edge of Aftdeck, make him renounce his words in front of the entire ship, and then put him in a box.
<font class="GrigoryHeaderFont">GrigoryBlok:</font> Then do it already.
<font class="KramerHeaderFont">KramerTechSing:</font> Fine. Place your hands palm up on the table. My people are coming in.
