OFFICE HOURS

[didntgetdadslooks]

Got something you want to say to your good friend The Professor's Assistant? Come on in, don't be shy! Her official hours are daylight hours - girl has to sleep? after all, probably - but if you knock on the door at night she'll generally answer. Please just make sure to leave the in-game date and time in the header of your toplevel!

All comments are screened for confidentiality during the course of the experiment.

There are a lot of things around this facility. Puzzles and stuff like that.

[ We have water guns, air horns, foam darts, and Legos
Also, Nira can make a rock shield
Just be ready for Jasper to pick you up

I will need anything you know about Subject Delta for real
We're falsifying a report ]

[didntgetdadslooks]

Right, but... I haven't been looking at a lot of the writing.

[ Well if you're sure then I trust you?
Not gonna ask how you figured out how to do that but
Delta and maybe Gamma helped build this place, Alpha and Beta died before this
Not sure about much else but I remember bits and pieces
Learned about them after the last experiment maybe? ]

[nothingcanstop]

But, do you know about it? Come on, Angel. You're hesitating.

[ It's all part of a plan to get out of here
If it all works, I'll explain everything
But there are a number of us who'd rather get out with you
So, the plan
What bits and pieces?
I need you to be as specific as possible ]

[didntgetdadslooks]

I... yeah, but. I just don't know if there's anything here I'm allowed to say.

[ Okay. If you're sure.
Professor was talking to Delta at the last trial
Mentioned something about having done a good job?
Didn't see them, someone was standing right in front of me
Think Professor was there, which is probably a bad sign ]

[nothingcanstop]

Is this one of those rule-things you got?

[ At your last trial?
You've started to remember parts of your experiment?
Delta was a member of that, right? ]

[didntgetdadslooks]

Yeah, one of them. There's some stuff I'm just really not allowed to talk about.

[ Parts of it
I think so?
Remember lots of the Failsafe but not her name
If I could just remember that, I- I don't know.
We didn't know about Delta during the experiment. ]

[nothingcanstop]

What'd happen, if you broke that?

[ Delta didn't know about Delta either
It sounds like the Professor has been messing around in a lot of people's memories
Do you know anything about Subject Gamma?
I'm going to write up all the information you've told me about Delta in a report
I'm going to say you told this to me after I pestered you enough
We're going to send this tomorrow
Please be prepared ]

[didntgetdadslooks]

Well... The Professor would send the Failsafe at this point, I think.

[ Wait you talked to Delta?
You guys must have had a real wild meeting in that bathroom.
I don't remember Gamma at all, just the one memory about Delta.
I'll be ready. ]

[nothingcanstop]

Not for a friendly chat, I'm sure.

[ We certainly did
It was popping

...She gives a strained smile.

Do you know anything about Alpha or Beta? ]

[didntgetdadslooks]

Nope, unless you call what happened to Nova a friendly chat.

[ Very little
I think Alpha died on arrival? Something like that. ]

[nothingcanstop]

I...certainly would not.

[ Okay
Can you write down what a report would sound like?
You said they were mostly short? ]

[didntgetdadslooks]

Yeah. She's... scary.

[ Sure.

She writes down a quick report - there are a lot of timestamps involved, which means she has to summon up a quick window under her hand like she's cheating on a test. It's not the briefest thing ever - like three paragraphs - but it's certainly not as detailed as Della might imagine The Professor would want.

That should do it.
Can I make a quick last request before you guys kidnap me? ]

[nothingcanstop]

You sure you don't recognize her from anywhere?

[ Alright... Alright, well, unlike normal, Della isn't crossing these things out. She does nod and almost pull the paper away, but--

Of course
What is it? ]

[didntgetdadslooks]

No, not... not as far as I can remember.

[ I don't remember everything but
Failsafe wasn't like this before
I can't think up any bad memories of her
Just don't write her off or anything, okay? ]

[nothingcanstop]

Well, shoot. Guess I couldn't get anything, after all.

[ ...

Okay, Angel
If you say so
I want to say I'll be able to visit you after all this
But in case I can't

Her pen's raised and she's...a bit frozen in place. Her teeth grind, betraying her fake cheery demeanor.

Stay safe
Please don't do anything reckless ]

[didntgetdadslooks]

Sorry.

[ You don't have to like her but
Try not to hate her? Until you figure out why she changed.

There's a pause.

Okay
But when push comes to shove, if I can help you guys, I will. ]

[nothingcanstop]

Eh. Win some, lose some.

[ I know you will
But you dying would defeat the purpose of all this
At least for me ]

...Get something to eat, alright?

[didntgetdadslooks]

[ Angel doesn't really have an answer to that, but she does smile. ]

I'll make sure to. Thanks, Della.
