"So yeah it is incredibly dangerous for you to keep doing this. You could take my word for it, or you could just question it. But I got to warn you, some thoughts, some words are dangerous in a world in which magic exists. Knowledge is powerful here and thus you, an obviously new dude, is completely powerless. That doesn't mean you are worthless tho, there exist schemes to harvest peoples organs or -" Blue points to Red "- turn them into semiautomated scambots only to turn more people into scambots, all in order to harvest the scambot organs later on. I know you could be one of these people if you get access to education. That is actually very shitty of me right? I think everyone deserves the freedom to learn what the world is, even if it allows them to make the world into a worse place.

You want education right? Don't answer, I don't want you to think I want you to say some keywords with which I can turn you into a simple machine that scams people. You might even think that I am doing a good cop bad cop play here, just to mess with you, a double scambot on noob thing. Nothing would be too contrived to add a new bot to someone like that, I know they would do stuff like that if they were creative enough.

Yeah you could just run now and test whether I would stop you. If you are at least a bit intelligent you have thought about it. Why are you still here? Why are you waiting?

Do you really think we'd just wait and explain to you something if our intent were malicious? Aren't we just waiting for reinforcement so that we can just pin you down and cut you up? Why are you still not running?", Blues tone had grown harsher, "Don't answer that either. If you do answer, do it with actions, not with words. Talk to no one. Mistrust everyone and everything. Don't trust everything that is in a book, most of those books are written by people that give you instructions on how to turn yourself into their bot. You are alone and valuable and can't do anything. You'll not last a cycle if you don't mistrust everything, including the stuff I tell you. Act like it damnit! That's all I have to say.", Blue left through the door behind it. Sigmund wanted to call out, "'Wait", he wanted to shout, but he didn't. How could this warning not have made him suspicious of everything, how could it not make him paranoid? There was a carrot, and a stick, but he couldn't quite tell what was the carrot and the stick. If he trusted Red, then he might survive in what was apparently a hellish world full of hunters and victims, but if Red was a hunter, then running would be the only thing, unless he was running away from the shepherd that was collecting the sheep... no that was not a good metaphor, shepherds eat sheep. Running was not an option yet, he had to think, think hard, because running was not his strength, thinking was - and Sigmund sort of regretted that.
