dreamland day one

41 players remaining.

[As the day wears on into the afternoon, the dead aren't getting any deader. It's late in the afternoon, and the air is beginning to cool, when the chimes play again over the park loudspeaker.

"All of us here at Dreamland wish you luck, guests! Let's meet up in the Hall of Mirrors!"

Wherever you are, it's time to make your way over to the House of Horrors, where you'll have to brave the funhouse to find the room on the top floor. Don't delay, or your guest identification bracelet will begin beeping. The House of Mirrors is a large room, more than capable of fitting a crowd. Tall mirrors line every wall, and the door you entered through seems to vanish into a mirror as well. The mirrors give the impression that many, many more are among your number, standing in the background.

In the back is a jar filled with blank raffle tickets. You'll have to take a ticket, write down a name, and place it back in the jar. Hopefully you already know who you're voting for, but if not, you only have time for a brief discussion before you're out of time.

Asimov's Laws. These do exist. However, they exist only in fiction. They would not cover all cases. They were discarded as feasible in the development of VIs.

[ a pause, then, ]

We are not required to follow such protocols.

What about the sticker promise?! Legion-chan, you decided to go along with that, right?

Yes. We wished to learn more, so we acknowledged this promise.

There we go, then!! See??? Proof!

[ She is weirdly excited to be talking to robots. This is so awesome. ]

What kinda protocols do you follow?

We are familiar with and able to follow all known protocols used in Council Space. We have been recently updated with protocols to allow for massive multiplayer online gaming.

[ Legion is a gamer, as a matter of fact, surprise... ]

You can really play games?

[ She doesn't know what "online gaming" is, but she caught the multiplayer and gaming part. That's what makes the most sense to her out of all of that. ]

Yes. The challenges posed in games help to speed up our onboard processors and help us learn. They are especially useful to calibrate sniping programs.

[ A pause, then, ]

Our current score in N7 Code of Honor: Medal of Duty is 15,999,999,999.

So... what if they've programmed you to think this is a game? That obviously means you're not deciding to do it on your own, but if that's what they've done to you... then would it be possible to view something like this as some kind of video game?

[ Legion falls silent as it gives off the impression of staring back at her, but the answer comes before too long. ]

If our data was corrupted, we would recommend termination. System restores are not currently available. This corrupted data could not be allowed to be reuploaded to Geth networks.

It wouldn't be fair to terminate you just because someone else decided to mess with you or your programming. That's not your fault.

No. But it would be advised. We would not wish to corrupt the rest of the Geth with this data. All Geth would take in the data. All Geth would be subject to this error.

[ A pause, then Legion adds, ] We do not believe our data is corrupted in this way. However, detailed systems analysis is currently offline.

So it might be possible that they did and you might not even know it.

Well... whatever. [ She crosses her arms. ] Wether that's true or not, it's dumb to lynch you without knowing anything else. I still think it's whoever got the key from the Detonator anyway.

It was one of us?!

[ ...IT WAS SOMEONE IN THE GROUP ANYWAY, IBUKI????

/the most useful ]

It's gotta be. Unless the person on the PA is taunting us by getting the first kill.

And then making everyone turn on one another?!

[ Girls. Girls, please. ]

We agree that execution at this time is not viable. If further data emerges to suggest corruption, we will volunteer for execution.

You might have a lot of help if it comes to that though. Have you tried playing any of the carnival games?

No. We did not see a purpose to at the time, though new data suggests that it may be viable in the future.

I don't really understand any of this- [ROBOTS TO A YE OLDE VICTORIAN] -but if you say that you aren't one of the killers, I believe you.

This is a logical choice. We do not wish to incite organics.

[ "Thank you" ]

[aint no thang robro he got you]

Right! You said you wanted to learn all about them, didn't you? And you're helping Shepard-Commander to save a lot more. I don't think a person like that would suddenly decide to kill a stranger...

Yes. We wish to learn more, so we will not harm organics. The exception is if organics threaten our existence. Then we will fight back, but no more. We will meet peace with peace.

[ because yeah legion wouldn't exactly hesitate to snipe someone if they were trying to kill that first, but... that's mostly video game logic at work... ]

[it's okay he understands that... too..... sometimes you just gotta shank someone who's trying to behead you, it happens.]

I don't see why anyone would attack you first, anyway, so... [a nod!] I won't vote for you.

Thank you. We will likely abstain from voting unless further evidence comes forward.
