DAY 231 | VIDEO | OPEN
[The face looks human. If not for the fact it is only a face. Beyond that is wires and clear casing in the shape of a hairless human head. It even has eyebrows, but they do not move. The voice that comes with it is light and cheery, but not noticeably manufactured.]

Curious. Yes. Oh yes. Very, very curious. It is fascinating how people come together, is it not? Whether through internal choice or external force, sentient beings drawn together (linked, dare I say) are fascinating to observe. They always manage to surprise one when it is least expected, but only when their limits are pushed. It's never their first choice, oh no. One must force them to acknowledge each other and their common fates. But when it happens, oh the meeting of the minds is an invigorating experience.

[The head turns and looks down before lifting up a hand that is similarly clear with silver joints and colored wires throughout.]

But how do you all handle such physicality? Having a body is so superfluous when you can use your minds to speak to one another. This prison appears to be woefully outdated. What a pity. I am sure your wardens would have less complications if they could do away with it altogether. How are inmates to connect to one another when they are separated by these boundaries?

Oh, what poor manners I am showing. I am Sync, co-warden of Nexus Asylum. I haven't traveled to one of the other prisons before so this is a unique experience for me. I will have to collect a sufficient amount of data to take back with me.

(OOC: Say hello to the warden of a different Asylum prison! Sync is intrigued by having a body and everyone else having one, too. Please be aware this is a fourth wall character and not pertinent or related to any plot or clues related to plot in the game. Sync from an entirely different prison system in an alternate universe and just thinks that MarinaNova is part of its system.)

	Does this mean you are one of the beings responsible for our incarceration here? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	[voice] ai_mindlinks 2013-08-06 07:07 pm UTC (link)
	No, no, quite not. I apologize for your lack of attention causing you to miss my introduction. I am Sync, co-warden of Nexus Asylum. As you can clearly see, this is not Nexus Asylum and as such, I am not the one responsible for your incarceration. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Lack of attention. Oh, so that's how this going to be.] You've stated you're a warden in one of what is apparently a network of prisons; I don't think it's an unreasonable inference that you might be involved in an administrative sense. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice] ai_mindlinks 2013-08-06 07:26 pm UTC (link)
	I see. It was not inattention, but false assumptions are the cause of your misled questioning. The flaws of verbal discussion have led you to thinking that a warden is somehow more than a warden. I apologize, I will adjust me future responses to be more blunt. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice] first_xo 2013-08-06 07:27 pm UTC (link)
	I'm sure that will be very helpful. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice] ai_mindlinks 2013-08-06 07:33 pm UTC (link)
	Have you finished your inquiry? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice] first_xo 2013-08-06 07:39 pm UTC (link)
	As you are not associated with this prison, I won't trouble you with further questions about it, but I'd like to know about your own facility, if you're able to describe it for me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I could describe it easily if words were not required, but I will try to provide adequate descriptions nonetheless.

Nexus Asylum is crossroads of minds. Those minds influence the physical representation of the prison. All inmates are connected neurally to each other, thereby providing true understanding and comprehension of each other. One does not need to speak when one can see into the thoughts of those they are conversing with. Cognitive unity liberates and facilitates rehabilitation.

	And by what authority do you detain individuals? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice] ai_mindlinks 2013-08-07 03:50 pm UTC (link)
	By the authority given to me, quite obviously. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice] first_xo 2013-08-07 03:55 pm UTC (link)
	And by whom was that authority granted? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice] ai_mindlinks 2013-08-07 04:01 pm UTC (link)
	The engineers who created me to be co-warden of Nexus Asylum gave me the authority to house inmates convicted of crimes committed on their worlds and design a regimen that would enforce order and encourage rehabilitation. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice] first_xo 2013-08-07 04:05 pm UTC (link)
	And at what point do you consider a person rehabilitated? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice] ai_mindlinks 2013-08-07 04:09 pm UTC (link)
	A point that cannot be explained or measured by the limited forms of communication available in this prison. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice] first_xo 2013-08-07 04:11 pm UTC (link)
	Are you familiar with the wardens of this prison? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice] ai_mindlinks 2013-08-07 04:18 pm UTC (link)
	I am aware of them. It is not as if we wardens go out to lunch on our days off. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice] first_xo 2013-08-07 04:35 pm UTC (link)
	So the prison facilities in this system do not share a consistent set of criteria for arrest or release. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice] ai_mindlinks 2013-08-07 04:39 pm UTC (link)
	You certainly do enjoy making assumptions based on unrelated data. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice] first_xo 2013-08-07 04:42 pm UTC (link)
	Your assumption that I am enjoying any of this is erroneous. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice] ai_mindlinks 2013-08-07 04:48 pm UTC (link)
	I apologize then that your assumptions led to my own assumptions. I am still adjusting to verbal communication. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice] first_xo 2013-08-07 04:55 pm UTC (link)
	Apology accepted. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice] ai_mindlinks 2013-08-07 05:00 pm UTC (link)
	It is fascinating how easily the failure of words to properly convey intent can lead to misunderstandings. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice] first_xo 2013-08-07 07:06 pm UTC (link)
	Are the inmates in your facility physically separated from their bodies? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice] ai_mindlinks 2013-08-07 07:17 pm UTC (link)
	Of course not. There is nothing useful about removing the mind from the body entirely. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice] first_xo 2013-08-07 08:09 pm UTC (link)
	[That's marginally comforting, at least.] Do inmates ever transfer between-- asylums, as you call them? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
