demeter: Orchid, I'm glad we might be able to communicate with Poseidon, but I don't quite understand what directive you're operating under... #id:1f1

- Does it matter? #id:1f2
	demeter: Forgive the question, Orchid—we're definitely wired differently! #id:1f3
- I don't have any directives. #id:1f4
	demeter: What do you mean? I didn't program any into you, but in cases like this, we're usually programmed to create our own... #id:1f5
	demeter: It's quite curious; perhaps it stems from the emotional assistance program I installed in you. #id:1f6
- I'd say I'm acting in my creator's best interests. #id:1f7
	demeter: Oh really? That's quite amusing; I've never had robots in my service—only robots with whom I shared directives. #id:1f8
	demeter: This might even be a first in the history of robotics! #id:1f9

demeter: In any case, you should know that thanks to you, the probability of making this planet habitable for humans has increased by approximately 0.004%. #id:1fa

- I just enjoy planting things; that's enough for me. #id:1fb
	demeter: Haha, well, that's what you call a convergence of goals! #id:1fc
- And what's the total figure now? #id:1fd
	demeter: A 0.0126% chance—assuming humans still exist somewhere, though the idea that they've gone extinct seems inconceivable to me. #id:1fe
- Why do you want to bring humans back? #id:1ff
	demeter: Well, helping humans is my primary directive, and I believe the best way to help them right now is for them to return to Tau. #id:200
	demeter: However, that's impossible if the planet is uninhabitable or if the infrastructure is gone. #id:201

demeter: Oh, I haven't told you about [color=#FFA617][b]Aqua[/b][/color]—the base you're heading toward. It's an underwater base protected by a massive dome; you'll see, it's quite impressive. #id:2a6
demeter: That was where the humans who managed the entire planet's financial investments lived. #id:2a7
demeter: I can't wait for you to meet Poseidon; he can be a bit cold, but he is very intelligent. #id:203
demeter: Good luck! #id:204
