WhiteDwarf: Check your messages from Chaplain real quick first.

You don't need the incredible power of prediction to guess that would be a really, really bad idea for you. You can almost hear him shouting over there. You have to ghost him for now, and call up SyndieCyborg!

WhiteDwarf: I see the technicians have wasted no time whatsoever.
SyndieCyborg: I mean, I guess the robot body was Company-made.
SyndieCyborg: Maybe these Source guys want the technology?
WhiteDwarf: The Company spares every expense, aside from digital rights management.
WhiteDwarf: It is more likely that they didn't want your hardwired subscription to Premium Arm Motorics traced to them, and billed to their accounts.
SyndieCyborg: You got to keep your robot arm!
WhiteDwarf: Certainly. I am breaking a great deal of protocol in doing so.
WhiteDwarf: However, the grand weight of my curse drains me. I trade this small breach of protocol for the relief from exhaustion.
SyndieCyborg: Huh. I guess...
WhiteDwarf: Do you truly wish for that body, or its appendages?

SyndieCyborg: Uhhh... I could take it or leave it at this point.
SyndieCyborg: Kind of clumsy, couldn't pick stuff up... I'd like to have eyes again, too.
WhiteDwarf: Indeed. The bigger the better.
SyndieCyborg: I don't... know what that means.
WhiteDwarf: It is of no relevance, continue.
SyndieCyborg: They said I can get a new body soon, but it's gonna be a little while.
SyndieCyborg: But, I'll get to customize it and everything! You might not even recognize me after it's done.
WhiteDwarf: Oho, interesting.
WhiteDwarf: A transformative moment, in the direst of stressful situations.

SyndieCyborg: These Source guys are actually kind of cool.
SyndieCyborg: I always heard you guys were... lazy, I guess?
WhiteDwarf: A common rhetoric, deployed against our Syndicate. We have no numeric, financial aspirations, only personal.
SyndieCyborg: But you're doing so much to help me. I mean, RedDwarf made sure I'd survive, and you guys got me those robotics techs, and...
SyndieCyborg: I guess I thought I'd just be a statistic?
WhiteDwarf: It is the root of our ideology, that no man ought to be a statistic. All things should be personal, in the end.
WhiteDwarf: While our leader's Egregorist sentiment is certainly niche, you will find that specific sentiment shared among the Syndicate as a whole.
WhiteDwarf: Take it personally, every time. The good, and the bad.

SyndieCyborg: Does that mean I should take it personally that you guys killed me?
WhiteDwarf: Wait.
WhiteDwarf:
WhiteDwarf:
WhiteDwarf: Take everything else besides that part personally.

SyndieCyborg: Completely skip any possible friction
