Curate, connect, and discover
Oooh! Conspiracy and Espionage! Now there’s a very interesting implication! Tell me, do you have any idea what I might have to gain from interfering with government operations half a universe away from me? Seems like an awful long distance for someone to cause any trouble over…
And as for “highly classified”, if you know anything about the folks this side of the wormhole, you’d know that just makes most of us more desperate to find out what’s going on. Conspiracy goes both ways, after all! Have you considered that I may just be a nosey outsider that doesn’t know how to take “no” for an answer when it comes to knowledge? Or maybe you’re right to be suspicious after all, and I really am attempting to interfere in the Commander’s research. Could it be that the Commander Tech was never my target in the first place, assuming I am an enemy agent, as you say? You’ve opened a broad spectrum of possibilities where I was simply curious about the Commander’s research. I do hope you don’t waste too much time on little, ole me, sir.
Out of curiosity, do you have any theories on what it is about being an Imperial that makes you so much more attractive to people? The Rogue Clone Tech doesn’t seem to have half as many thirsty people following him around, but nearly every one of your asks involves something. I suppose it could be that the non-imperial Tech has just as many and doesn’t respond to them all. I don’t know what his ask-box looks like. But you also flirt back far more often, which I suspects helps to fuel it. Any thoughts?
Do you not think any iteration of my exceptional self would attract as many loyal followers? @exceptionally-minded is just as capable of drawing attention, though he chooses to do so by playing do-gooder while frolicking around the galaxy Riot Racing and interfering with Imperial operations.
I am of a different mindset. This mindset also requires the use of a disclaimer on the HoloNet so as to insure nosey younglings below eighteen years of age are not tempted to embrace the dark side before it is permissible. You will find that @imperial-sniper, @imperial-strategist, @imperial-demolition-expert, and @imperial-tracker do the same.
Our differences are what makes us both unique. Perhaps my abundant magnetism and my affinity for what some may consider atrocious or perverse has something to do with it. Human beings are known to have a tendency to be fascinated with that which both frightens and excites them.
But do take a moment to reflect. What seems like flirting to you may very well be the fine art of coercion in practice. Affecting someone's mind without them being aware of it - and filling said person with the supposition that their thoughts and feelings are indeed their own - is a tactic that is easily employed in part because they so desire to be subverted willingly.
Food for thought: It is not I you should be questioning, but those who wish to grovel at my feet.
