The IC Anon Questions Meme

The IC Anon Questions Meme!



How this works.

Post with your Character! Name and series go in the header.

Go find another character! Go anon and ask them questions. They can be as ridiculous, serious or random as you want.

Go answer the ones people have left for you!

If there were someone within Starfleet who had given you the impression you could trust them, would you?
iambetter: (Fer realz Kirk.)

[personal profile] iambetter 2014-04-10 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
It's not about trusting them, I have no desire to work along side Starfleet in any capacity.

That time came and went and was squandered by Captain Kirk. So while I may 'trust' someone from their ranks, it doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things, nor will it help me.

You don't think having someone inside Starfleet who might be more sympathetic to your plight would be beneficial to you, or could help you?
iambetter: (Judging you Spock.)

And how, exactly, can I garner the trust of anyone after what I did? More importantly while I'm in cryo freeze once more? [Not saying he wouldn't do it all over again. Because he would. Of course he'd learn from how things ended, but he'd still do it all over again.]

But if we're speaking in theoretic terms, no. I would not trust them. I've no reason to and I don't see why any of them would want to offer any aid to my people or myself. Yet for any reason they would be willing to offer help, they could be used to manage some sort of escape.

This time with my crew. Far away where Starfleet will not follow, where no one will bother us. [Or be very sorry they did.]

That's what you deserve - a place where you and your crew can live out your lives. That's something you've never entirely had a chance at. I hope you get it one day.

...

[Side eyeing you hard, anon. While it's nice that someone agrees with him in that regard, he's never had someone with that mindset beyond his own people. So, excuse him if he's wary of your 'kind' words.]

One day. Perhaps. We'll see if and when Starfleet feels the need to awaken us again. Until then, we continue to sleep.

[Because if someone is stupid enough to wake any of them up, especially him, again, they will escape. No ifs ands or buts about it. Or they'll go down trying, and they won't go easily.]

[Side eye all you like; while the poster may be anonymous, the words are no less genuine.]

I wish you all well. Thank you for your time.

[Well. Genuine or not, can you blame him for believing them? Not that he's really ever held the words of others not his own people in much regard.]

I've plenty of time, you're welcome to it.

[Being frozen for who knows how long now.]

[No, there's no fault in him being cautious, or even downright skeptical. It's to be expected after everything he's been through.]

Am I? I admit I would very much like to ask your opinion about all sorts of things, even have you answer a few more questions I might have.
iambetter: (Better listen to me Kirk baby.)

[personal profile] iambetter 2014-04-10 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
I think you will find that my opinions are not entirely popular. [Hell, even within the Augments he'd been a bit 'different'.]

What questions do you have then?

(Anonymous) 2014-04-10 05:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Opinions don't need to be popular to be valid.

I'm curious as to what you think of the world you woke up in, specific circumstances aside.
iambetter: @ merriestchase (Your profile is ridiculous.)

No argument there.

[The question is not a terrible one, but he has to think about it. There is plenty he could say about the year 2259, without going into how much he'd enjoy ripping Starfleet apart bit by bit from the inside out.]

Highly advanced technology and way of living. Far exceeding what I'd known in the year 1996 before our exile from Earth. Though I can say, without a doubt, that if Earth had stayed under the care of my people, it would have reached this point much quicker. Hundreds of years earlier.

[If the Augment dictators could keep from fighting amongst themselves long enough to worry about stuff like that.]

Were you surprised to find humanity had united together of their own accord, or is that something you think you could have accomplished?
iambetter: @ merriestchase (Never have enough serious talk icons.)

[personal profile] iambetter 2014-04-12 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
We did accomplish it. Through sheer blindness we did not see that they were already doing just that, but it was through our control of the majority of Earth that humanity found a purpose to put aside their differences to wipe out the majority of my kind.

[He doesn't like talking about that, or that the Augments had fucked up, fucked up hard, but well. It was the truth.]

Without a cause to unite them that could stand to change all their lives collectively, they fall apart into their own pieces, not realizing they can accomplish so much more together. Apparently finding out they weren't the only ones out in the vast universe became a good cause in the future.

[Along with working with other races and species.]
