<Snipped quote by Techspert>

*Smiles slightly* Very observant. In the simplest terms, I have very limited options. The fact that I cannot disclose information that may seem trivial is detrimental to me as well as to you. I was also unable to choose a desirable path, as my purpose here was changed against my expectations and against my will. I intended for other things to happen before approaching a surrogate, but several dead ends were reached that, on the whole, have left me in a situation where I have little to no chance to succeed. Since I also have limited time, my actual desires have little impact on what I can and can't do to try to reach my goal. As it is, my bet is on several things entirely out of my control. I cannot give you certain information, and I refuse to give you other information. As such, you don't trust me and are not likely to complete my request. Retaining my observer status requires severely limiting my possible actions, so I cannot do any of the things that would otherwise increase my chances. My angle is desperation. 

That's not a question I can answer in a consistent way.

And you believe that we will simply give in due to this? And I doubt this is actually the absolute last resort; in fact, it's entirely probable that you have presented this information to us in falsehood in order to gain trust that would not be there otherwise. It's possible you predicted my predictions entirely, or someone more strategically minded did.

Take another look.
