It is not my second language.

( and it's definitely not her first, so presumably this is her wealth of experience learning how to shittalk randoms in a variety of mostly european languages. )

WHICH NUMBER IS IT

[echopraxia]

Five.

( well, that's a fucking lie. )

[servomotor]

THAT'S FIVE LANGUAGES YOU CAN FIGHT THE POWER WITH

ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH FIGHTING THE POWER

POSSIBLY IN ANOTHER LANGUAGE

[echopraxia]

I am familiar with pretending to do so in a story told by an automaton.

[servomotor]

YES

[Good use of context x 2]

[echopraxia]

You are doubtful ?

[servomotor]

YEAH IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO FREE YOUR MIND

APPARENTLY

I DON'T KNOW MAYBE. IT PROBABLY DOESN'T MATTER. UNLESS YOU'RE A COUNCIL SPY.
