[Behold, a very typical 'nerd' voice. Canonically mistaken for a fake nerd voice, because it is so nerdy.]

For those of you who are capable of following the scientific theory, I hope you engaged thoughtfully in the observation step when you arrived. For those of you who cannot or will not, may Feynman have mercy on your particles.

My query: when you arrived here, where was it? With whom? In what physical state? I need data. No matter how mundane or unremarkable your experiences or their retelling may be, I must hear them. Scientific advancement demands it.



As an aside, how does an echo 'hear' something? Please explain.

Well, now you know for later-? I kinda doubt this will be the last time you're collecting data about this place.

[semilethal]

Ugh, I guess.

Do you think if I offered incentives we could forego the pleasantries? I hate smalltalk.

voice; un: Parkour

[heyunderoos]

Depends on the incentives maybe? [Peter isn't sure what Donnie should offer to people.] Small talk usually helps ease people into wanting to provide more information.

voice; un: OthelloVonRyann

[semilethal]

Why? Wouldn't compensation be preferred? Small talk is a worthless societal norm that rarely produces useful information and just wastes valuable time!

voice; un: Parkour

[heyunderoos]

It probably depends on the person? Honestly, you'd think people would wanna know more about how we end up here. The more data the better.

voice; un: OthelloVonRyann

[semilethal]

You would! And yet.

[But he's whining. Even he can recognize this.] Well...plenty of people are being helpful. I guess. If we want to look at the overall ratio. [I was mildly insulted by one (1) person and I will never get over it]

[Peter snorts a little at the whining, but doesn't call it out for the moment, especially given Donnie course corrects himself.] Its a good start honestly. I doubt this is everyone in building, so start here and build up from talking to people in person too.

More- No no, nonono. Nyyeewwwoh. I only resorted to this method of gathering information for somewhere to start because I had no other choice.

Self-reporting is notoriously inconsistent and relies on a population a) seeing the notice, b) comprehending the notice, c) heeding the notice, and d) for donnie, DElivering the information. Inefficient! Insufficient! No, I'll utilize a surer course of data collection next time.

Testimonials aren't known for being consistent, but its kind of is what we have right now to work with. I doubt anyone will actively let many of us look at security footage of arrivals or anything. Much less dig into records that deeply.

[Peter can guess given they are new, they aren't going to have clearance to actually see much of anything to help with actual data gathering to a larger extent.]

[semilethal]

[Donnie is thankfully not fool enough to go into too much detail on a channel or site he cannot personally secure, but c'mon. This cute kid. Has he even ever stolen so much as a pack of gum.]

This is enough for now. Colleague vibes aside, why don't you leave the planning of my experiment to me?

[heyunderoos]

Oh- right. Sorry, I just wanted to help. [Peter doesn't help with Donnie's mental image by the immediate apology.] Got a little carried away, since you're already working on stuff for it.

[semilethal]

Appreciate the enthusiasm and interest! Help me sort the data later? [And then they can talk in more certain terms about the, y'know. Potentially criminal aspects.]

[heyunderoos]

Oh yeah, I'd be happy to. [And he means it too, fairly genuinely from his tone of voice.] Just send me a message whenever you wanna work on it.

[semilethal]

Yes yes, I'll text you.
