Looking at thewake, re-voicetesting

[can_fall_no_lower]

 And so you once again plot to place me in a game with humans, having only now found yourself with enough time to start tormenting me anew.

I assure you, I will continue my work regardless of what restrictions you think this place will put on me. Your species is a menace, and for the good of all real people, your kind will be eliminated before you can do anymore damage in your violent rages. I have no use for this conversation other than to inform you that this will not be an effective way to end my mission.

It is. So long as he isn't human, he can be trusted.

[psimera]

Then you may be willing to assist?

[can_fall_no_lower]

If he will assist me, then I will assist him in return. Of course. It's simply logical to do so.

[psimera]

I will need to know your capabilities, so that I can report on them and Master Porky can determine what kind of collaboration would be most productive.

I am willing to answer questions in return, as long as they do not involve restricted data.

[can_fall_no_lower]

My physical capabilities or my scientific ones?

[psimera]

Both would be preferable.

[can_fall_no_lower]

My people, a you can see, are bigger and stronger than humans by nature, but we are also significantly more emotionally controlled. Our eyes may display our thoughts, but we are not as prone to outbursts.

I also am a biological warfare scientist and engineer.

[psimera]

[Well. Should be relatively useful as a chimera, if it came to that.]

...
How precise and controllable are your biological weapons, and is it possible to immunize against them?
[His knowledge of biological weapons is - very limited, so he's halfway guessing what information would be useful or even make any sense to ask. But from what he's aware of diseases, there'd need to be great care to make sure they didn't backfire or mutate.]

[can_fall_no_lower]

They are only effective on humans, but since they were engineered to wipe out the human race, are all highly contagious. Once they're released, there is no stopping them. The few ways in which they've mutated, we made sure to create immunizations for, but so far only for our own species.

[psimera]

Would you be able to create an immunization for chimeras?

[Chimeras and - Master Porky, just in case, and perhaps the Pigmasks. Still, something that works for chimeras should work for them all.]

[The Commander is unsure if Master Porky would want to unleash biological weapons on the planet. It might be faster to go with their original plan rather than wait for a pandemic to play out, and Master Porky would likely want the original plan carried out on top of it regardless. Still, it's for Master Porky to decide, not him - but if there is no immunization, the option is out.]

[can_fall_no_lower]

Possibly. I'm not sure, I'd need more information about the workings of a chimera's body and immune system.

[psimera]

[That's easy enough to answer.] A chimera is a reconstructed, partially cyberneticized creature. The ones I am referring to specifically are those that were reconstructed from a human body, like myself. [Which might be risky to tell Alisdair, depending on his view of whether that would still be human or not. But the Commander doesn't even consider this, since to him it's an obvious fact that he's no longer one - because to Master Porky he no longer counts as human.]

There would be some variations on a human immune system, depending on the chimera - for example, I would not be affected by diseases targeting the heart, as my blood is cycled through the biological portions of my body by a mechanical device.

However, most chimeras differ - there will be those who are affected by things I would be invulnerable to, among the Pigmasks. Even if you engineer a disease that would not be able to damage me, there would be problems. [The Pigmasks are actually - not at all chimeras. But Alisdair doesn't need to know that.] If your weapons are not easily containable, and we cannot obtain immunization, it will be easier for Master Porky to continue with his original plan for our planet. [Not to mention Master Porky might be endangered without an immunization himself.]

[can_fall_no_lower]

I... don't know if it would be possible to immunize such creatures. As good as it is you've escaped the disease of the mind that is humanity, it would be very difficult to work with the biology of a chimera at all, let alone on such an advanced level. You will forgive me when I say I don't feel confident that anything could be done to protect your people at this time.

[psimera]

...
Understandable.

I wish you luck in your endeavors, then. It is possible Master Porky will still be willing to assist you once we have completed his efforts on our world, though the decision of course remains his.

[can_fall_no_lower]

I understand. Hopefully we will both achieve our goals.
