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.

Comments

[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.
