there was a cartoon called transformers about robots and the lead character was optimus prime
FROM: parker.peter@cdc.org
and he looks exactly like the robot in the video gliese showed
FROM: parker.peter@cdc.org
i'm really confused and i don't know what to tell you but i swear to god. Every saturday morning i'd wake up and watch cartoon OP go save the earth
FROM: parker.peter@cdc.org
i got a toy one for christmas once. And now they've...i don't know, replicated him? He's a robot so maybe it wouldn't be that hard to make one based off a model
FROM: hinata.shouyou@cdc.org He helped us transport materials off Ajna
He had a planet the same as the rest of us
He lost it, like we could
FROM: hinata.shouyou@cdc.org Why would they make a cartoon character and then bring on someone who knowed he was a cartoon character once he was put down?
So, what
FROM: hinata.shouyou@cdc.org Are we going to find out that you or your older double is a cartoon character after you slip up?
Or like
FROM: hinata.shouyou@cdc.org Did they find the best model for a planet saving hero and bring him this far just to make a point?
THE MODS SAY IT'S OKAY as long as we don't tell optimus and he dead...
But if he was programmed to think he was real, to think he had a planet that he was saving, then by all appearances it would look that way. And he'd be convinced of it.
FROM: parker.peter@cdc.org
That wouldn't make it any more true. You never got to visit his home right? Robots are programmable. You can do what you want with them, just a little rewiring or push a new code.
[And what the eff is...]
FROM: parker.peter@cdc.org
What is THAT supposed to mean? I'm a person, you can't just magic up a whole person! And by that logic we could be saying the same thing about you when you mess up so don't even go there
FROM: parker.peter@cdc.org
You'll just drive yourself nuts
FROM: parker.peter@cdc.org
And I don't know. I'm not the planet destroying mastermind here. I don't know for sure what's going on but I know that that was definitely the robot from the cartoon.
FROM: parker.peter@cdc.org
And I couldn't come up with a dumber conspiracy theory if I tried. I have zero reason to be making this up, I already look like a lunatic.
FROM: hinata.shouyou@cdc.org Actually thinking about this at all is going to drive me bonkers... there's too many reasons that backfire on each of us
And eventually cancels itself out I mean like
FROM: hinata.shouyou@cdc.org If Optimus is fake, then any of us could be fake because they've proved they can clone up whatever they want
There's people who died here and came back without memories too, those are pretty easy clone targets
Maybe they're even fake clones of already fake people, and everybody aboard this ship is fake except for the instructors
FROM: hinata.shouyou@cdc.org Which then, as long as we believe it's real and there's no way for anybody else to prove its not,, does it even matter?????
Because yea your saying he's a cartoon character but you can't prove it any more then I can disprove it! Sooo we can either be people protecting real worlds or we could be people destroying real worlds in the name of protecting fake worlds and EITHER WAY thats REALLY SHITTY but at least the first option has SOME reason ssssoooo BETTER TO STICK WITH THE FIRST??!! and completely forget what you knew to be true at home!!!??
Look just don't go too far with it? I'm scrambling for explanations here, and the only source of reference i have to pull them out of is my own butt
FROM: parker.peter@cdc.org
But yeah, all things considered, we COULD be clones. They had the power to clone people with preserved memories in my time, so it's probably not a problem to them
FROM: parker.peter@cdc.org
However these are big assumptions to be making. Let's not get ahead of ourselves, okay? All I know for sure is that i definitely watched a cartoon with an Optimus Prime
FROM: parker.peter@cdc.org
That was a robot that looked exactly like the one in the video. That doesn't guarantee anything about any of the theories we come up with
FROM: parker.peter@cdc.org
don't panic until we've got some solid evidence that they might be replicating people or planting false recruits. And this is not solid evidence
FROM: parker.peter@cdc.org
do a couple de-stress push ups or something, it'll be okay
