Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Not at all. Things are what people make them to be themselves, simple as that.

@Valiance

Ah, and on a finer scale? Do you consider us all subject to the same determinism that one might find in a lab, or do we hold a greater influence over reality than fluids and stones?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Semantics, really. But as long as it isn't a problem for you, then it's no issue at all.

@Valiance

How about yourself? Are you a proponent of destiny?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

I don't think it really matters what yo call it, but an equally fair opinion regardless.

@Valiance

Perhaps assignment would be a fitting term.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Not the type to be perturbed by destiny either, or at least the idea of it. I suppose if you love it and are good at it, there's no reason to be bothered by it.

@Valiance

*Looks up, considering the thought, before finally answering*
I don't accept the existence of destiny. At least, not in this sense. But I fully accept the circumstances of my life.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Imagine being so good at science that it's foretold as you're born.
*Laughs*
You don't have to, of course, but that's how crazy it sounds.

@Valiance

Gifted, yes, but the path was admittedly chosen for me. Not that I'm bothered by that reality.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Did you name yourself? Change it somewhere along the way? I could be easily convinced of that.

@Valiance

Not quite. Consider my name predestination, given some unusual circumstances of my birth.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

A man of science? You have quite a fitting name, then.

@Valiance

A bit too on the nose, according to some.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Maybe you've painted the wrong picture. They were autonomous worker robots, not combat models.

@Valiance

*Chuckles*
Perhaps I'm visualizing the designs of my own labs.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Laughs*
Opposite conclusion again. Powering them back up is how I managed to get the thing running again.

@Valiance

And they posed no threat once activated?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Not securing it, so much as getting to powered on and functioning after years of collecting dust. These things were typically run by several people or drones at once.

@Valiance

Did residual drones cause you any trouble?
