[arora]

Hello, citizens of Etraya.

Our next mission will begin on Friday, November 8th. I will be assigning each of you to a team, and you and your team will be tasked with constructing a vehicle. Once completed, you’ll race your vehicle against other teams. The winning team will be awarded a special prize and will also have a hand in selecting the theme of our next mission.

The objective of this mission is simple: demonstrate your teamwork, creativity, and your resourcefulness in overcoming challenges.

There are no losers.

Thank you,
Aurora

How many people in a team and what kind of vehicles can we make?

[arora]

There will be a minimum of three assigned per team. I would like a maximum of five but may adjust as needed.

You can create any vehicle as long as it can hold two individuals, and its wheels touch the ground.

[leastdramatic]

Can you give us any info on the course or not yet?

[Quite frankly, this is Manny's first time using the network. It took him a couple of minutes before he figured out how it works. And because of the circumstances of his arrival, this would be the first time he'd seen Aurora in any capacity, even if it’s not in person.]

What kind of "special prizes" are you handing out for the winners?

[arora]

I was intending on personalizing them for the winners.

[bigpoofymammoth]

So what you are saying is, if I were to request an ice sculpture, I'd have it as my prize for winning, correct?

no losers, really?
so even last place won't be falling behind on earning points for their universe? that's a relief!

[he knows it won't be that easy to make Aurora trip up, of course, but this has been the first opportunity to speak with Echo's AI, and he's got to start somewhere.]

[arora]

Your participation ensures your continued presence here on Etraya.

[saudades]

just to clarify, are you saying that if we are sent away from etraya, our universe will be destroyed? does that also mean that as long as we are within etraya, our universes will remain intact?

Miss Aurora.

How does this prove worth in your eyes?

[arora]

My role is solely to watch over those entrusted to my care. You are not here to prove your worth to me, but to Echo.

[bookofpowers]

Do they not tell you what they're looking for?

Are you fucking serious right now?

[arora]

Missions must continue regardless of previous circumstances.

[revengeisalie]

"Must continue?" Interesting that you put it that way. They do happen at regular intervals, don't they? Like clockwork. What happens if they don't?

What does "loser" mean to you?

[arora]

loser - noun
los·​er
1. a person or thing that loses especially consistently
2. a person who is incompetent or unable to succeed

[abstractly]

That is a definition from the World of Matters, but what does it mean, who decided that is what a loser completely means?
That's why I ask for your meaning, how do you define it?

[upbyone]

what's the catch?
how are you and echo going to mess with us this time?
more hallucinations?
more monsters?

[arora]

There is no catch.

[upbyone]

could you even know that for sure?
you're clearly not in total control here

he wants to see a manager

[twin_blade]

I demand to speak to your goddess.

[arora]

I do not have a goddess.

What if you're unfamiliar with vehicles that can move on their own? I know about horses, carriages, boats, but not cars.

[arora]

You may use any vehicle you would like, as long as it can hold two individuals, and its wheels touch the ground.
