You have good taste in dogs, Graham. I'll let you know what the Admiral says.

You doing okay?

[empathicfault]

Thank you.

And yeah, I'm feeling a lot more settled than I was a few days ago. [ He also finally got some sleep. ] How's the death toll coming along? You doing okay?

[cactusy]

If I say yes and the answer is no, can you tell?

[Because guess what!]

audio

[empathicfault]

Yes. But I'm usually in situations where it's impolite to call that out.

[ He still does it anyway, sometimes. ]

What's the hiccup?

I know I'm not exactly the most conventional warden around, but telling your inmate you aren't sure they're real is probably a faux pas.

This isn't exactly a conventional system. And I'm not going to judge anyone for not being sure what's real and what's not.

Is it just me you're not sure about, or more than that?

The whole thing. I don't think it's real and you're fake. Just kinda pissed at myself from all angles - for not being able to sort out my own head, for not getting with the program and realizing this is reality if that's what it is. For letting myself get conned by an obvious trap if it isn't.

To be fair to your head, it has a lot to sort out. But I- I know how frustrating that can be. How easy it can be to take that out on yourself. Knowing that if you choose the wrong thing, it'll either lead to a waste of time or a waste of opportunity.

This might be a dumb question, but- what is it exactly that has you doubting the reality of this? What made it worse?

It's not a dumb question.

Rogers said that a while ago, the Enclosure, uh-- left the Enclosure. Things from inside of it came out into the rest of the Barge. Seems like the kind of thing that couldn't happen if the rest of the Barge weren't a simulated environment too, right?
