week seven, monday.

Seems like the big finale is just right around the corner. Are you ready?

[ercnerd]

It's about time. I've been ready since the day we all woke up here.

[txt]

Ahaha, well, you and many of the others. Though, I hope you won't forget about our deal if we succeed.

[ercnerd]

I remember. You're still attached to that, huh?

[txt]

Of course! I'm still a researcher after all. That hasn't changed, no matter how hard the story may try.

[ercnerd]

What do you research, anyway? I don't think you ever said.

[txt]

I didn't? I specialize in the research and development of artificial intelligence.

[ercnerd]

And you think dimensional travel will let you develop that research further?

[txt]

Of course! I can learn all sorts of things from the technology that's available in other worlds. But more than anything... I think I'd just die of curiosity if I didn't experience it for myself at least once!

[ercnerd]

Didn't you technically experience it already?

[txt]

Would you honestly count any of this?

[ercnerd]

Wouldn't it be stranger to discount all of it?

But I see what you mean. In that case, I'll put in a good word for you.

[txt]

Maybe! But am I really discounting it if I consider it to be in another category entirely?

[Look... Listen... There's a difference between voluntary dimensional traveling and getting kidnapped by a rude story.]

Thanks. Whatever the results, I'll make sure to pay you back equally.

[ercnerd]

Yeah? I hear their screening process is stringent. If you manage to get hired, though, why don't you treat me to a drink?
