Instead of "you seem trustworthy to me", make that "you seem like you could use a win". Seem less like an oppressive authority figure who's helping her because she's useful, and more like a friend who's protecting her from the oppressive rules of our distant superiors.

We don't have to make her happy, but we should make her want to interact with us over other potential authority figures.

>testing the electric floor
That is very unkind and inappropriate for someone who doesn't appear to be a Maverick. Being an electrical engineer doesn't necessarily mean she'll be outright immune to security measures meant to retire dangerous reploids. Even if she survived, it would make her an enemy when she could be a useful friend.

Just because she doesn’t look like a maverick doesn’t mean she isn’t. A maverick would try to gain our sympathy to bypass security measures!

there are no other photos hidden on the ID
Stab Unicorn reassembles the ID

Stab Unicorn has enough information
she now needs to decide what to do with Conductor Hermit

Grant Entry: Conductor Hermit will be given an Entry Balloon and allowed to enter Eden Island

Deny Entry: Conductor Hermit will be sent back out, she can try to seek entry again tomorrow

Detain: Stab Unicorn determines Conductor Hermit is a maverick, the booth will be sealed and the floor electrified awaiting hunters to deal with the maverick.
Customs will be closed for the rest of the day.

I'm not sure if this counts as a fraudulent ID or not. It was tampered with, but the tampering was not done to deceive, it was for pride's sake. Is there any way we can get a clarification on the rules? If this counts as a fraudulent ID then by the rules we can't let her in.

(wait, what are eye markings?)
>>
No. 1117295 ID: d89f2c

Oof tough choice. Leaning deny even if she has a good case to be allowed. Fake ID is on the unacceptable list so that's enough. Hopefully she'll get the ID fixed and return so we can allow.

Grant Entry. Despite the tampering, by all appearances this is a real ID with accurate information. It's not "fraudulent", we're talking to the real Conductor Hermit, so I see no reason not to let her through. If our human superiors give us grief about "bending the rules", we'll take the heat for a fellow reploid (and guilt-trip her about it later).

Is she in a rush? Because we needed 20 minutes to confirm her identity. It's 11:01am now.

I hope Connie's job interview goes well. She'll be nice to have around the island. And not bad on the eyes, either.

>She can come back when she fix the ID.
We can't be sure of that. That's the problem.

The world outside Eden is dangerous and she'd be risking her life if she doesn't get in. Even if she manages to get a replacement ID and new job interview, which is far from certain if she misses her first interview, she could end up retired by the time she makes it back here.

That's why I suggested letting her in and blaming unclear rules if it gets us in trouble with our superiors. Connie is very vulnerable right now and making friends in low places is always useful for an undercover Ranger. Even if they're timid weaklings like her.

Remember, this isn't just a job, it's a mission!

But reiterate she needs to apply for a new id immediately.
Otherwise expulsion will be a constant worry.

Well, all the info we have on her checks out. If he's not Conductor Hermit, then she's a Maverick who stole the identity of a second electricity-themed hermit crab reploid who happened to be the same height as her, and not only removed her photo to replace it with her own, but also thought to take a second, blurrier backup photo of herself and hide it behind the regular photo as a backup plan in case she got caught, but didn't think to make sure that she removed the screw without scratching her stolen ID or put it back in at the right angle. And she also either knew that Conductor Hermit has a job interview, or came up with a cover stort which would be trivially easy to debunk and and is sticking with it consistently just to get past the front desk security guard.

It's technically possible to be more certain that she's safe, but given how unlikely the alternative is, I'd say we're close enough.

Also, it could very well be life-ending if she doesn't make it in. Like Doctor Eve told us earlier, there are many dangers outside Eden and she could be retired, disassembled or catch a virus if we don't let her reach safety.

Voted earlier but as a person who studies security people should keep in mind "appeal of urgency" is a social engineering tactic designed for gaining access. Empathy and compassion can be weaponized by the malicious.
>>
No. 1117391 ID: 66de4b

>>1117370

To be fair, it was Dr. Eve who emphasized the urgency, and Conductor Hermit has not yet attempted to use that tactic. Empathy and compassion can still be weaponized though, even if there really is actual urgency.

It's odd that the outside would be so dangerous to reploids though, yet Conductor Hermit had enough time to apply for jobs? And Stabitha also went on vacations, and had photo shoots! And has an apartment, with a roommate?

Isn't Eden supposed to be a resort for humans? Why would it be a target for reploids seeking sanctuary? The only reploids you've seen so far (including yourself) have been here for purposes of employment.

Connie has been a bit passive-aggressive with us about her job interview (note to self: train her out of that) but I don't find that suspicious. It's how she would act if she really did have an interview. I tried baiting her into talking about "her job" when she's supposed to be applying for one, but she hasn't contradicted herself in a way I could notice, and it fits with our own experience entering Eden. Sufficiently advanced forms of deception are indistinguishable from innocence, and at that point it's better to assume some people are innocent.

As for the state of the outside world, I'm going to blame it on Mavericks. Normal reploids are around to build and maintain infrastructure and generally keep society running, but any one of them could turn out to be a Maverick and suddenly start breaking or sabotaging things and killing people.

Light I hate Mavericks so much. They go around tearing down all the effort we hard-working reploids put into holding things together, they turn our fellow reploids against each other, they make the humans enact all these completely justifiable laws amd security measures on us... I wish we still had our weapons instead of just an electric floor. Like that stupid apple!

Part of the fun in this quest is seeing how corruptible Stabitha is.

Stab Unicorn Has her combat parts on standby in the capsule system, she can bring up a capsule if she need to transform... she kinda likes wearing her dress though.

Stab Unicorn debates whether or not to let her in, it's very close but ultimately she grant Conductor Hermit Entry into Eden.

She gives her a and Entry balloon and opens the door.

Greetings multifaceted skillset human!
Reploids do not taste things like humans but we do have other senses that are extremely precise.
We can sense if an energy source is strong, weak, corrupted or pure. Pure and just the right amount is preferable and elicits a positive feedback. We can also discern oil quality and sense impurities in this and other consumables
Perhaps you could, as a hobby, experiment on what refinements and alterations elicit in reploids the effect of satisfaction like food can for humans.
If you have time. You do seem very busy. Welcome to eden!

Reploid friend acquired! It was fun to flex our authority on her for a little while, but we ought to do some relationship building later so she stays useful.

>>1117441
A human approaches. That's an interesting hood he's wearing. It kinda looks like it means something. Is there a story to it?

We shouldn't tell him this, but he were a reploid we could send him packing just for that ominous skull-looking outfit he's got. Those are almost always bad news. Since he's a human, we'll just have a friendly chat while gathering information we might need to investigate him later. But enough about the fair and just laws we have to work under! There are tongues to wag!

Do we actually have a tongue? We're a horse-type reploid and horses have tongues. We've got a mouth to talk with but I don't know if it comes with a tongue because it hasn't stuck out. I do remember that we can eat and drink (and that we're in debt partly because of expensive drinks) so Fullus might like talking about that.

We can also talk about some of our other senses that humans don't have, like our perception of the electrical currents that charge us. We can enjoy frequencies and amplitudes the same way humans enjoy the chemicals in food. Maybe chat about some of our favorite power sources.

>>1117445
Hey now, using tongues on other people is not unsavory and we would absolutely get parts for intimacy if we could. Unless viruses are involved. Ugh, virus-type Mavericks are the worst kind. Getting innocent reploids caught up in their filthy plans just because they got just a little too close... no wonder humans like cleanliness so much.

That... is not a good sign. This human might actually be dangerous. I know how much of a problem Mavericks are, but as a reploid I can't agree with someone who wants to destroy all of us. That's what hunters are for!

We're under orders to let all humans through no matter how criminal they are. It's not our role to play politics by selectively denying people based on their beliefs (and we wouldn't get away with it if we tried). But Fullus is in no rush to get through, so we still have a chance to gather more useful info from him.

A reploid like us is naturally going to have reservations about any hardline anti-tech movements, since we're made of machinery and all. Has Fuquaid given him any detailed reasoning for his beliefs, or how he plans to achieve them? And how does Fullus himself feel about them? He seemed pretty sympathetic to reploids like us earlier. Also bring up his mask. Does it have any tech in it?

Also, is Fuquaid in Eden already, or can we expect him to arrive later?

Your orders don't have anything to do with violent beliefs. Humans can be as violent as they want, as long as you destroy the Maverick reploids. You do think it might not in this human (and other humans) best interests if all reploids are destroyed, but he didn't ask, so you don't have to give your opinion.

Really the only difference between you and his boss is you only want the Maverick reploids destroyed before they destroy us.

You answered his one question. You're all done! Let him into Eden. Oh you might warn him that there will be a minimal amount of reploids in Eden, if his boss doesn't like that.

>>1117615
There's another reason to let him in that hasn't been discussed. The reason is that we shouldn't exclude people based solely on their beliefs. A functional society depends on its people being able to freely discuss ideas to expose their flaws. What we've heard about Fuquaids is objectionable to be sure, given that it could fairly be interpreted as reploid genocide, but as of now we don't have any evidence that he's actually done anything dangerous or criminal beyond expressing himself. We have good reason to look into him in case he turns out to be a threat (and we have a good chance to do that now, unless Fullus feels like we're holding him up), but until we find actionable intelligence it's a problem to be solved in the public forum, not by a border guard. Government censorship will just inspire them to practice their insane ideals in secret without learning why they're wrong.

(Ugh, the only reason they're allowed to get away with it is because they're humans. If a reploid started calling for human genocide, they'd be put through nine kinds of retirement before they could finish their sentence.)

>>1117779
Well, this day just got a whole lot brighter (and shinier)! Not only is the next entrant another reploid, but she's the famous Gilded Goose here to meet us in person! Or an impostor trying to exploit her fame to bluff her way past security. A Maverick Hunter can't afford to let her admiration get in the way of investigating a potential Maverick.

"Thank you! My name's Stabitha, and I know who you are. Big fan of your work! What was that about your ID and room number? I'm the border guard, it's my job to collect ID cards and inspect them, and I haven't received any in advance."

We're not familiar with any "pre-screening" process. We'll need her to describe the process she went through to in as much detail as she can recall, to make sure it's legitimate. Particularly focus on the names and appearances of the Eden agents who administered her screening. There's probably someone we can call on the phone to confirm things.

Do not use her name, or reveal any info about her that she doesn't share herself. Give the impostor chances to slip up.

>>1117787
Stolen? Oh dear. I hadn't considered that. I'm afraid we're going to have to deliver some bad news. For her. But it's great news for us, because it means our celebrity crush is now another reploid in a bad situation who needs our help. Remember, a friend in need is a friend you can take advantage of!

Sadly we can't leave our post to get her ID back but GG isn't retired yet. We'll just have to ask her some questions. Start with the info that's on an ID: name, class, biome, OPPR (don't know what that stands for), height, weight, power, and speed. We don't exactly have a photo, but she's famous enough that we can probably bring out a Avis ad we've got saved for comparison purposes. Also it would help to see her manufacturer's mark, and know her reason for visiting.

>>1117789
We do have some leeway regarding whom we let in. Checking the list, she has: no ID, arrogant disposition, animal design, fancy crown, what looks like a cape, and she's yellow. On the plus side, she's also red and kinda white in places and has lots of gems, and she's Gilded Goose! We haven't seen her feet or mark yet, but at least there are no "UNACCEPTABLE" traits!

...Yeah, this is going to be a hard sell, sadly. Hopefully we can get her ID situation sorted out and her manufacturer's mark is a good one, that'll at least push things a little in her favor.

Pre-screened? That's new! Check to see if you've got her stuff somewhere. Oh, maybe she's just talking about the parts of security before you. Ask her who she talked to before you, so you can talk to them and get her ID back.

Even if you can't, it'll be fine. You can vouch for her identity, and "missing ID" isn't a forbidden category. We can check for the other forbidden stuff I guess but I doubt she qualifies. Unless she has tiny feet.

Explicitly dont have your hypotheticals subroutines run simulations of you boldly bursting through the gates wearing your fool bikini mod, dragging the scammer in with one hand, holding the stolen id in the other and clenching a rose between your teeth while GG swoons at your heroism.
Now isnt the time for what humans call daydreams!

Whoa there, pardner! I know it's intimidating to meet our idol like this, but don't forget that we're the authority figure here. We're the one holding all the cards, and if we play them right, we could have GG stuck living with us by the end of the day. Just need to stay cool and keep our head in the game.

Good point. It's important that we don't look like a creepy stalker when we're being a creepy stalker. We'll save the "get Gilded Goose as a live-in celebrity crush" plan as a last resort in case she doesn't have any other housing options conveniently available.

At the very least, we'll be able to find out where she lives. That's going to be very good to know. If she's in danger and needs a Maverick Hunter to save her, I mean.

I just realized something. She says "blue wasn't our color". We wore yellow in those ads. Did she mean our arm and leg bands? Or is she talking about some other job besides the poster we've got here?

Don't confront her about this or she'll know to choose her words more carefully. Let her think we're obliviously starstruck and give her more chances to make mistakes. She doesn't seem in the mood for small talk anyway, but that might change soon.

I'm suspicious, but I don't know why a liar would make that mistake. How would she know we were an actor in environmental PSAs but not what we were wearing in them? And if she didn't know that, why would she try to bluff by giving us an oddly specific critique of a wardrobe she hasn't seen?

If we need to use her name before she does, call her Goldie Goose. The real Gilded Goose would spot the mistake immediately, but an impostor may not be so used to her name. Perhaps when we're asking her for the info on her ID.

Social engineering at its finest.
1) Ask if she needs anything to make her comfortable while she waits.
2) Close the shutters. Call for guards.
3) Order one guard to go look for her ID and papers.
4) Call the head office on their mascot's current location.
5) If all of the above succeeds, ask her out for dinner and let her in.

Presumably gilded goose considers the gold outfit with a red gem in it a default and is only commenting on the blue highlights because gold should be everyone's color.

Another good idea. Letting her ask for accomodations will give her more chances to slip up and ask for something out-of-character, like a luxury energy drink that the real Gilded Goose actually hates. An admirer like Stabitha would know things about her that an impostor wouldn't!

Stab Unicorn can teleport to most out door areas across Eden, but no where outside the dome, she'd have to use the customs passage in and out.

Stab Unicorn knows Pre-screenings are common enough.
She got into Eden herself on a pre-screening.
now that she thinks about it, it's odd that Dr.Eve and Smart Apploid never mentioned it.
>>
No. 1118044 ID: 94d85e

Very odd indeed she would have forgotten to mention that, how are we supposed to admit pre-screened reploids if they don't carry their IDs?
Well, do you know Sinnick too?
Call Pipo and ask where she sent that ID.

Tell Gilda you'll be back in a jiffy. Sinnick may have just forgotten to hand it to you... Do we know who Sinnick is? If not, go ask Pipo. Then we can contact the hotel to get that room number.

Tell Gourdon not to let anyone through under any circumstances while you're away. Gilda needs to wait for her ID and room number anyway, and it's not safe for more than one reploid to be in the interview room... well, I guess if Gilda steps out Gourdon can start letting humans through, that's easy. Does he have a bio scanner to identify them?

Well, that was a whole lot of scheming gone to waste. You've got to tell us these things, Stabitha! You're the part of our design that knows our history and the world!

I still blame the apple. This should have come up in our training. Now, how do we deflect the blame for this so we don't end up even more embarrassed in front of Gilda!

"Terribly sorry for the confusion. My superiors neglected to inform me of how these things are meant to be handled. I may need to make some calls to sort this out. Is there anything that could make you more comfortable while you wait?"

Can't forget that it's our job to be tricky. All signs say this is the real Gilded Goose, but you can't be too careful with Mavericks on the loose.

Now let's get started sorting this out. Simple solution first: check our work station and computer files in case there's something like a drawer full of pre-screened ID cards or a conveniently available digital record that we somehow overlooked. If not, we'll need to track down her ID, starting with a call to Pipo to find out where she takes the cards she handles.

Stupid apple. Ignoring vital info he's supposed to be giving us, making trouble for Gilded Goose, making us look incompetent in front of Gilded Goose...

Wait wait wait. Just to be sure, if we went through the pre-screening process, does Gilda's description match with how it went for us?

beg forgiveness, its your first day after all.

Check with Pipo where that ID is. Logically it should be here in the booth so it can be returned when the person checks in.

Also at some point you might offer Stitch in Time card as something she would be interested in

I can't hate Pipo for her good heart, but I can certainly look down on her loose lips. Luckily for us, her unprofessional behavior is a convenient distraction from our own.

"Gilded Goose is here right now and waiting for her ID card back. What did you do with it? Where exactly is it now?"

There we go. Now she's going to tell us where to find the pre-screened ID cards that the stupid apple didn't talk about during training and Stabitha will look like she's cleaning up after someone else's incompetence. Then Gilda will like us for helping her instead of blaming us for holding her up! See, friends are useful when we need someone to take a fall for us!

And who is this Sinnick fellow? Is he anyone we know? What did he tell her, and should we be worried?

>>1118334
The "Goldie" thing has run its course. She didn't take the bait, so there's no reason to bother her any further with the wrong name.

>>1118335
No, no, we can use this.

"Ugh, personal gossip can be such a bother. But I suppose you've had to deal with that too, haven't you?"

Establish commonality to build trust. Gilded Goose is a celebrity, so of course she'd know what it's like when people share intimate details about her that she doesn't want getting out. Don't mention how many of those details we know.

Or if we're really lucky, she might be interested. Not likely, but it's a nice thought.

Well, i was trying to think of the most embarrassing thing that would require special underwear for a reploid.
On reflection your take with her mimicking human biological reproductive activity for recreational purposes is a very deviant behaviour for a reploid... far more embarrassing than a leaky gasket.
I wonder what theyre really for though...
Im guessing reinforced for combat purposes.
Hey stabitha.
Whats special about your panties?
Enquiring minds need to know!
