Nobody is upset? I'm calm if they're calm. We're just discussing synthetic philosophy is all. Also the first sentence hits pretty hard, Erkling.

@KahleenCuthald Sorry about that. I just call everyone gentlemen. Unless they say otherwise. Thanks for telling me, though!

I don't mind a good debate, but I just prefer it in the PMs. I like to keep a good atmosphere.
1x Thank Thank

@Dr Catfish Sorry if that sounded malicious. I've had a rough day, so I'm in really bad mood. Gotta try and keep up the pep though.

But in my opinion you're discussing ethics, not synthetic philosophy. I will fight anyone who tries to disagree! XD

Quick question, if she's born in 2017, how is she 25?


Oops, my bad, I'll fix it.




That or he's just racist against beep-boops by expecting them to be wholly subservient and versatile to his whim...like a wrench or hammer.


I do see what you mean. Rolands expects a droid that will bark if you ask it to. But nexus has to run that bark command through what is basically, a committee of a couple hundred people to see if its a logical, proper action to make. And with how long the machine has researched alone, and all it's accomplished, barking is beneath it.


I feel like I could have explained that last post better. My bad, guys.

Ryan was angry almost soley because Nexus humilated him. Had a human being done something similar, Rolands would have reacted in EXACTLY the same way- only instead of thinking they had "poor A.I.," he would just think they were an idiot.

That Nexus is a machine has nothing to do with his motivations whatsoever. Remember, as I said in my first post, Rolands PREFERS robotic crewmembers.

He's mad because a lower-ranking crewmember embarrassed him, not because a robot embarrassed him.




Catfish, if you want to discuss Rolands and Nexus relations with me, feel free to PM me. The same goes for everyone else, of course :)

@KahleenCuthald Not German, Canadian actually. I can speak english and french fluently. That being said, now I'm gonna try extra hard to make Wolfe's German not sound....Google Translatey. Hopefully I don't make you cringe too much XD.

Edit: Now that I think about it, a french background may have been a better idea.

I'm currently in the middle of my first Joy Janeway post, and I'm starting to realize that the best thing about having two characters is being able to describe one from the other's perspective.

Was being near him a punishment? It had started to feel like one. Mr. Rolands acted like a filing cabinet come to life. His back was as straight as the chair's, and his eyes were duller than the leather. He seemed almost a part of the ship itself. He was everything in the world that was professional, over-regulated, and boring.

"Dr. Wolfe," the filing-cabinet-man fondled a thick stack of papers between fingers, briefly, before laying it on the table in front of Wolfe with all the importance of an offering, "you will need this."


So if anyone is wondering how I try to make being around Rolands feel, there you go

It was a clip from family guy. The one where the nurse runs into the room and shouts "Doctor house! If you're going to save this patient, you'll need this!" and then hands him a book that says 'The Rules' on it. Enraged, House roars "Get this thing AWAY FROM ME!" and chucks it through the window.

It was a 9-second clip.

Not trying to start any trouble, I just like thinking of things like this through analogies. It makes implied conflict a bit more fun than simply dukeing it out.
Not much to really do, so I was just thinking about Rolands a bit after what you posted in the ooc.

Bureaucrats are like beep-boops, so its fairly easy to...logic...with them...

I just now realized that both our characters have prosthetic left-hands. I swear, I didn't even remember that Wolfe had a prosthetic until now.

So, to recap, Rolands left Joy's medical files on the table for Wolfe, but Joy doesn't want everyone to know about her disability, so she's being defensive about it. Your move, Wolfe

She'll probably be a bit nicer in future posts. She's bein' salty 'cause Roland.

No, that's fine. That's basically what Rolands does on the ship. The reason he's such a prick about it is because he wants to be a Captain, but he'll never get promoted because he can't actually lead anyone, even though he has the organizational and intellectual skills.
