[ SecUnit is still posting things that are just text on a screen. It's replies would mostly be that as well, sorry. ]

Honest question; if someone is choosing to finish a contractually obligated quest with you, would you tell them to turn back? Because I find that to be a very dickish move. It would be like saying, "I don't care if you violate your contract, I am going to finish this quest without you".

I mean, I get that there are a lot of humans who are capable of a lot more than the humans in my world were capable of when it comes to things like fighting or protecting themselves. But it just seems like a rude thing to say.

If they are useful, perhaps it would be rude.

If they are useless, I would tell them to either turn back or die.

[rogue_sec_unit]

If you are talking about a SecUnit that didn't hack its governor module like I have, it would be turned back and die.

Might be why it is pissing me off so much.

[the_one_who_waits]

(¬`‸´¬)

They are a fool to dismiss you. You are quite useful and level headed.

Considering the parasite would also kill one such as you had you not cut it out, that is further insult.

[rogue_sec_unit]

[ You know what? SecUnit still may not get the whole god business, but it is nice to be called useful even if Narinder isn't human.]

I never thought it could be a problem if humans didn't know about SecUnits.

If they were really hurt I would? The quest is not as important as their well-being. But I'm guessing that's not what happened?

[rogue_sec_unit]

No, I was perfectly fine. My scans weren't working to pick up whatever it was they were sensing, though.

[abnormalizes]

Hmm. Depending on what it was and how much it was central to the quest, I can see that being a problem...

[rogue_sec_unit]

I could only see it with my eyes since the scans weren't picking it up. Gave me a weird feeling, like having double vision.

[luckynumber13]

Yeah that sounds pretty rude to me, were you hurt maybe?

Because they only think I can think of that could possibly make it less rude would be if they thought you were hurt or was about to get hurt.

[rogue_sec_unit]

No, I was perfectly fine since we had barely started. I never thought that humans not knowing what a SecUnit is could cause me problems.

[shamtagonist]

Were you annoying them?
I've had a lot of people tell me to quit group projects we were required to do because I was too annoying to deal with and they'd rather finish them on their own.
∠( ᐛ 」∠)＿

It was still rude though.

[rogue_sec_unit]

Considering I make a special point of not being annoying, I don't think that was it. Why is it that you feel like you need to be annoying on group projects?

[ Not that SecUnit cares that much, but the answer would give more context. ]

[shamtagonist]

Not doubting you, but sometimes people trying not to be annoying can end up being even more annoying in the end.
Of course I don't know you or the other guy so can't say either way if that was it.
┐(￣ヮ￣)┌
It's not that I feel like I have to be annoying on group projects or anything, I just am! Being annoying is a talent of mine, just something I'm natural at~
I'm only ever purposefully annoying when it's someone who's annoying me and deserves it.

[Something that is the furthest from the truth...]

[rogue_sec_unit]

That's a really specific talent to have, but being a vague annoyance isn't something you could use in combat. Seems more like a hazard than a talent.

[Of all the ridiculous, childish things--]

When somebody shows perceived hesitance in moving forwards with a mission, I will offer to let them turn back with no obligation or offence to me. Your 'threat assessment' told you that proceeding would be dangerous. Therefore, I offered you the option to turn back if you felt unsafe.

That you chose to make a public issue of this weeks later, rather than simply say how you felt at the time, speaks more of you than it does of me.

Do not consider yourself 'contractually obligated' to join me on any further outings.

[He will not be responding to any replies.]

Re: text;

[rogue_sec_unit]

[ Unfortunately for Diluc, SecUnit is prone to acting passive-aggressively because the Governor Module did not encourage healthy coping systems. That means that for years, SecUnit has been conditioned not to speak of its own issues with what a human is saying or doing without being punished by the Governor Module installed in its head. Not coping with things in a healthy way is also a big reason why SecUnits that hack their own Governor Module leave a wake of carnage behind them as they kill everything in their path. ]

Hey, I kept your name out of it, but it is an honest question. Would that etiquette change mean something that is different about being in Ellipsa? I couldn't tell if it was just the way that I felt or if this was a common feeling.

Plus, you had to know that I wasn't human, so my threat assessment was the threat to a human, and you were the only human present.

[ Regardless of whether he responds or not, SecUnit needed to say that bit. ]

[phoenixblessed]

[He considers for a while whether to respond or not.]

It was not an 'honest question'.

It would have been an 'honest question' had you queried it with me at the time and spoken to me like an adult. What this is, is an inflammatory display of childish passive-aggression and regardless of whether or not my name was mentioned it casts aspersions upon my character regardless.

Whether or not you are human was and is, quite frankly, entirely irrelevant to me. If treating you as someone equal to myself and offering you the opportunity to retreat because you seemed uncomfortable in the situation is 'rude', then I'm content to be considered so.

Do not contact me again.

[He'll just block this contact at that point, because he has no further interest in discussing the matter.]

[...]

Did something happen to make you say that?

[rogue_sec_unit]

I'm not sure what you are asking exactly? Because yeah, it happened on a quest.

[balloontiful]

I'm sorry that happened to you.

Because that does seem rude.

[rogue_sec_unit]

I'm used to humans being rude to me in the world that I came from, I guess I just had a bad moment when somebody here did it too.

[multiforms]

That seems very mean! Are they your friend?

[rogue_sec_unit]

No. I had never met them before.

[multiforms]

Maybe you can finish the quest before them! Then they'll see you can do it too!

[rogue_sec_unit]

Yeah, but my contract with the Winter Guild is to guard people as they complete the quests.

[ Since no one knows about SecUnits in Ellipsa, they wouldn't realize that telling them to turn back would break their contract. In the world they come from, that would be a heinous mistake and would result in the Governor Module that is implanted in their head frying their brains and killing them. So asking one to turn back is like asking one to commit suicide. In this specific case, SecUnit hacked it's Governor Module so it wouldn't be able to do that, but there was no way that anyone would know that. ]
