( channel 0 + message board ) dr. rousseau ; open dialogue

[officialnotice]

( the following message from dr. charlotte rousseau is on the phone network + transcribed via text on the message board. )

Hello again, Wayward Pines. You've had a couple of days now to work through the things we explained to you on Thursday. Now, we're opening the floor to you — for your questions, and hopefully to begin the dialogue that will help all of us figure out how to peacefully coexist.

MOD NOTES

This is the interaction portion of the public address posted last week! While all approaches are welcomed, the post is ICly intended to address questions/concerns and to reach an agreement (or realize that an agreement can't be reached).

This post is currently available both on the audio network & on the message boards, so characters can choose which they'd prefer to respond to.

This is the final piece of our Arc I metaplot. Congrats — we made it!

It seemed to do just that for the first two and a half years after the unfortunate illusion began. Only in the last six months has it failed to settle with more than the rare outlier.

You're from another world, aren't you? In our experience, the memories settle much more poorly when you're able to directly compare and contrast with your recollections of the world you came from.

That isn't what you asked. I apologize, I'll admit that I'm overly eager to tell you all that I know in hopes of bridging the gap between us.

Your first question is a very good one. Unfortunately, it becomes a matter of philosophy and those are very hard to achieve concrete answers on. Those who founded this ark and rebuilt this town stand by the belief that they've acted correctly in pursuit of the preservation of humanity as a whole. If they hadn't, we would all be just like the aberrations which brought grave harm so many of our friends and neighbors. They believe not that they had a right to wrong any of you on a personal level, but that they had an unquestionable obligation to do all that they could to protect humanity from extinction.

( yes, that was a lot of 'they' rather than 'we'. she explained on thursday that she signed on pretty late in the process, and much of the 'big question' discussion took place long before she even heard of the project. )
