A Rebirth

"I'm torrel, this is Tex."

Aequitas: That's what we call music. It's a form of art.
_________________________________________________

Omun: Thank you. Now...Torrel...How long did it take you to make Tex?

Helat: what is its purpose?

Aequitas: Some people find it relaxing. Others find it inspirational. Some people just like the way it sounds.

"years"

Hemowep: /reminder: depp voice/ ...observation: you seem to spend a remarkable amount of time and effort creating something without a useful purpose.

Omun: I would have expected as much.....Who else knows about her?
____________________________________

Aequitas: Actually, most Yutegans aren't musically inclined. In fact, this particular song in question was composed by a Mariner.

"So far, me, lord berric, and private Aequitas"

Ooc. Ehm.... And the mechs.... Though lets keep that a secret for now, i agree...
Ic.
Helat: Mariner?

Omun *he arches his eyebrow at the last name*: Why would a private know of her? I assume he was the one who referred you to me?
_________________________________________________

Aequitas: One of the orders that make up the Disciples. They are devout followers of the Lord of Storms and are patrons of the arts.

Helat: ...acknowledged... Query: then you are unable to answer our question?

"he was. she....decided she wanted to meet him without me saying she could."

Aequitas: That's the problem with your question. You're asking about art. Each person's response to that question will be different to one degree or another.
______________________________________________________________

Omun: I see....Torrel, such behavior could be dangerous, for both you and her.

"I know. dont worry, I've got safeguards, she cant do any harm"

Helat: .....elaborate

Omun: I'm not concerned about harm she may do. I'm worried about harm that would be visited upon her and you by virtue of being her creator.
______________________________________________

Aequitas: That's the thing about art. Some people argue it's pointless and a waste of time. Others will argue that maybe it doesn't have a point but that it should still be celebrated because it's creating something that someone will consider beautiful simply because one can. Others still think it's a means of expression and creativity that science and logic will never properly comprehend. I could list more views, but I think you get my point.

Helat: ...acknowledged...

"I know, but lord berric is keeping her safe. and I can look after myself"

Aequitas: I apologize if this does not answer your question, but personally, I do not understand the reasoning behind art myself. The most I can say about it is that some music at least serves a beneficial psychological purpose.
____________________________________________________________

Omun: Torrel, you must understand....there are those so vehemently against the idea of artificial intelligence and synthetic life that they were openly risk war with the Brotherhood to kill you and destroy Tex....and then there are those who would seek to use your discoveries for....darker purporses.

Tex: the biomech mentioned that he saw flaws in your writings....that were put there on purpose.., did you do that so no one could use your works for the wrong reasons?

Hemowep: hypothesis: processes of subfaction "yutega university" vastly inferior and too similar to varden ones. Therefore they consistently fail to provide new perspectives. Their uses are highly limited.
Helat: .....agreed. Contact with different group might be beneficial for future research projects.

Omun: *Sighs* So they found those old records did they? I shouldn't be surprised...but yes. I did. I lived through the war with Corrupter...I even saw him with my own eyes....do to all the horror and bloodshed and I experienced...well...that was my motivation for writing such papers. I saw the good such technology could bring...but my experiences also made me wise. I knew the first application of such technology would be for war, not peace. I didn't want my theories turned into means by which innocent blood would be shed....

OOC: Glad they finally noticed. XD

IC:

Aequitas: I'll take the comparisons to your processes as a compliment. As for interacting with the other groups that make up the Consortium...be careful. Not all of them are as accommodating, tolerant, or logical as Yutega.

"My family fought in that war"

Helat: i know

Omun: Few families did not.
____________________________________________________

Aequitas: Then that's all I can offer you. I wish you the best with your research.

he draws his sidearm
"this was used by one of my ancestors in that war. blew the brains out of one of the corruptor's champions with it."

Helat: /Between themselves as he leaves/ .....wish? 
Hemowep: collecting data on subject

*Omun examines the weapon.*

Omun: A very finely made weapon....You have taken good care of it. *Sighs* Torrel, Tex, my point is that yes, I sabotaged my own designs for creating biomechs and uploading human minds into machine bodies because I knew the technology would be abused. And now.....I fear that may be more true than it has been in recent centuries.
_____________________________________________________

OOC: What have I done?

Tex: you did the right thing?

Ooc. Oh, just doomed the entirety of humankind to extinction...nothing unusual or serious...

Omun: I do not doubt that....But I fear that it won't matter. More and more researchers are discovering my "mistakes" and simply assuming I simply made those mistakes do to a lack of proper resources and understanding at the time...I fear it is only a matter of time before....
____________________________________________

OOC: That's a bit extreme. I was more worried I had accidentally fried their circuits.

Tex: Want my help?

Omun: In what way?

Tex: any way I can

Ooc. Kill all humans. That oughta stop misuse. 
9/10 reapers would agree

Omun: I would not turn down such assistance, but please, be careful and be discreet.
____________________________________________

OOC: -_- *Sighs* And yet there is misuse right there. Reapers are OMNICIDAL, meaning kill everything. They ain't racist.

she stands up straight and salutes him

Ooc. Wrong. They only kill things above a certain level of evolutionary progress.

*Omun smiles at this.*

Omun: Don't salute me. My days of such formalities are long gone.
_____________________________________

OOC: Fairs.

she chuckles
"as you wish"

Omun *to Tex*: Please, be careful. Your...father succeeded where I spent a lifetime failing. I don't want to see such a great advance and a new life harmed on my account.

she smiles
"I like you. thanks"

*He simply nods.*

Omun: Now go, both of you, before someone discovers this.

Tex: aww, I was having fun

Omun: I realize that, but I'd rather not have certain....individuals who belong to Yutega learn of you just yet.

"I know now to stop em finding out *winks*"

Omun: Regardless, I don't want to take the risk....Please, go. And pass my thanks onto the young soldier who directed you to me. I am grateful to have you both.

Torrel: *nods* I wish you well

Omun: The same to you, Torrel.

tex waves goodbye

*As does Omun before he returns to his paperwork.*
