[Closed][PTU][Skype] Technical Difficulties: Please Stand By

Q1: Why do you want to become a Technician?

A1: “I became a Technician simple to help the people of Arcadia, nothing less and nothing more. There are so many issues the befall the fair people of this city, from The Over to The Under and all the districts of The Shaft, and I felt it impossible to assist them in any meaningful way in my old job. I hope that, by becoming a Technician, I can help these people and solve their problems. Is that not the intent off all Technicians, after all?

Also, on a bit more of a personal note, I’ve always wanted to see what a Pokemon was like. I’ve never seen one myself outside of a few glimpses of Technicians on the job, and they seem like interesting little creatures.”

Q2: Who is the most important person in your life?

A2: “Normally I would say my family, especially my father, are very important to me, however, there is this girl by the name of Tiffany that I do care much for. When I was young and use to sneak out to The Shaft I often lost my way down there, and it’s a wonder how I never got caught by the Technicians. Tiffany, how, lived in The Shafts as a commoner and often accompanied me whilst I was down there, keeping me out of danger and showing me the sights. She showed me the heart of the city, in its true form, and she’s probably the sole reason I didn’t end up as another corrupt pencil pusher like so many of my peers. Why she did all that for me, I will never know; perhaps she had taken a liking to me, or perhaps she just wanted to get to know someone from The Over, but we spent our childhood exploring the Shaft together. It’s a shame I lost contact with her shortly after I got hired to my first position in office, but, I’m rambling now, I’m sure she’s fine and living her own life with hardly a memory of me.”

Q3: If you had to make the choice between having half of the city become irreparably destroyed, or having half of the population die, which one would you choose?

A3:” A very tough question, if I had to say so myself. One’s first instinct may be to have half the city destroyed, as that is the more ethically upstanding choice. However, logistically speaking, losing half the city’s population is much more favorable option of the two. Losing half the city’s population would hurt it, don’t get me wrong about that, but we would almost certainly recover from it. On the other hand, losing half of the city’s infrastructure would be disastrous. Millions of people would lose their homes while trillions of dollars would be lost. We haven't the resources or the space to rebuild half of the city, and where would all of those people go in the meantime? I feel the city would collapse in on itself both socially and possibly even physically if this were to happen. This isn’t even a choice a single person should be tasked with facing, but if you put me up against a wall and forced me to pick I would have to say let half the city be destroyed. It is the more ethically upstanding choice, after all, and I feel as if I couldn’t sleep at night if half the city’s population’s blood was on my hands.”

Q4: How do you deal with being proven wrong?

A4: “Well, if I’m proven wrong the I would go about apologizing about my wrongdoings and seek to correct myself. It is not a nice feeling, being wrong, and I try my best to never be it. I am rarely wrong, however, and it tends to be the people around who are misinformed. And those people will fight to the death about their wrongness, never letting go! I hope you Technician types are more accepting of being wrong. We all make mistakes, after all.”

Q5: Which non-official story of what is Outside Arcadia do you most believe?

A5: “I’ve hardly given a thought to what lies beyond those walls, but I do sometimes find myself wondering why The High Council is so determined in keeping people away from it. Perhaps there is some grand treasure out there that would make everyone’s lives better, and that’s why The High Council wants us to stay away, heh-heh. Still, it’s most likely nothing out there but deadly waste for miles on end. Really, if there was anything useful out there we'd be out there using it. Why the High Council are so concerned about keeping us in the dark, I will never know...”

1.Why do you want to become a Technician?
It’s the only thing that will keep me sober, and I would let Nate down if I relapsed.

2. Who is the most important person in your life?
Last year I would’ve said Nathan, but now he’s dead. Or in the under, which is basically the same thing. I don’t know now…. I guess it would be you guys, you’re doing what he did, giving me a job and keeping me on the right track.

3. If you had to make the choice between having half of the city become irreparably destroyed, or having half of the population die, which one would you choose?
Well if half the city in a city this packed was destroyed, wouldn’t about half the population be killed anyway? Even if they weren’t halving the infrastructure would make it so that half of people that were displaced wouldn’t be able to get food or jobs, and they’d eventually die anyway. So I’d choose population!
4. How do you deal with being proven wrong?
I don’t speak up in the first place. If I never make a statement then it can never be wrong can it? I guess part of that is also when I AM proven wrong I tend to stick to my guns, which can be a detriment.

5. Which non-official story of what is Outside Arcadia do you most believe?
I don’t know much about what other people think, but when I went dark I remember I was on Sharna, and I flew above the walls, and it was a sea of pokemon in every direction. Just horrible creatures as far as the eye could see, stacked together so densely they looked like water. That’s one of my few memories for those couple of years, so I guess that‘s what I believe.

Please answer all questions to the best of your ability, Recruit, and make sure to explain why you answered the way you did:

1. Why do you want to become a Technician?

I want to help people. I want to help them more than I have been.

Most of this city's no place for a person to live. Not yet it isn't. I want to fix that.


2. Who is the most important person in your life?

My mom.

(There's a lot of illegible answers here, scribbled out with pen)

She made me who I am, and I love her for that.


3. If you had to make the choice between having half of the city become irreparably destroyed, or having half of the population die, which one would you choose?

Half the city. Maybe then they'd let half of us leave and see what's past the Wall. If it's worse than the under, then at least we'd die with the sun on our faces. People need the sun.


4. How do you deal with being proven wrong?

Suck it up and move on. It's best to be right the next time than to keep doing it wrong.


5. Which non-official story of what is Outside Arcadia do you most believe?

Trees, grass, and greens as far as the eye can see. Where else in the world would they be? There's no place in the city for them, except a couple spots.
