all i see is a fake revolution [open]

Who: Murderbot and possibly YOU!
Where: Various places along the train; Quiet Carriage, as a starter!
When: Nebula 25-on.
What: Unhappy with the events on the station, Murderbot attempts to debrief those involved and gather a bit more information while also trying to figure out a plan moving forwards to Deal with the Void Ministry.
Warnings: kanye shrug




They'd been tricked.

It wasn't the fact that it happened so much as they'd fallen for such. It had fallen for such. Murderbot - Rin - really, really hated the feeling of being tricked in such a way, and the fact that everyone was all right meant nothing. It almost felt angrier for such; all this worry, all this shit, and for what?

So a bunch of assholes could interrogate them and toss them back out when they were done.

To keep itself from getting too frustrated, Murderbot doesn't bother with the comms. Considering it's about to do what it hates most - initiate social activity (though 'social' is used loosely), a couple signs will do-

DEBRIEFING SIGNUP


-with a location being one of the quiet cars, and timeslots available for anyone who bothers doing so. Murderbot will be in one of the quiet coaches to 'conduct' these, which really boils down to it staring grumpily at whomever's across from it for a few moments before beginning, voice as flat as a board;

"What happened."

Between its own 'interviews', it remains in the quiet car just...staring at the wall. Outwardly, at least. Inwardly it's trying to piece together the fragments of knowledge, and occasionally it can even be found in the library car, searching for anything related to the Void Ministry. Because, quite frankly...

It can't not consider them a security threat.

"It was obvious then," Elidibus counters. During, if you want to split hairs, but it's clear the Ascian probably had more than suspicions during the 'mission'. "But I wanted to be clear for the sake of your report. And it is likely anything that seemed relevant while searching the spacestation was fabricated to test us."

Murderbot did ask for a debriefing. That does mean covering even the obvious.

"Hm. Only possibilities. I'm inclined to believe they were speaking truthfully of their claim to act on behalf of the Void Ministry. Whether that is in our favor or not remains to be seen. If their words to me were correct then we have no rights to representation under their current laws and are largely at the whim of their governing body's generosity toward our circumstance."

Elidibus then studies the one before him. "What have you have gathered about these Inspectors from others who came to your briefing?" If indeed anyone showed up yet, though it has been a day. Perhaps Murderbot fared better than he in asking nicely.

Elidibus doesn't appear at all surprised. Because largely he's not; he's viewed the majority of the interviews as if firsthand.

"I'm not surprised, given mortal nature. Yet I find myself disappointed so few might have practiced even a little caution after all they've encountered thus far." The Ascian speaks with a resigned air of one who has experienced the trait countless of times.

Also it's a reasonable extrapolation. "The efficiency of their actions does imply experience," Elidibus agrees before letting out a sigh. "Have you any other questions? I intend to submit a physical copy of my interview to the library records, if you're willing to wait. I assure you it will be accurate despite the delay."
