[It's been a long and busy day, but all of Blurr’s days are like that. He usually doesn’t post to the comm unless it’s something important, but he’s been feeling weird since dawn and he wants a distraction.

At first, only text shows up. All the same message, repeated over and over again.]

All work and no play makes Blurr a dull boy.

[The post switches over to video. Blurr is on the highest tower of Vector’s temple, close to one of the platforms, and he's walking on one of the crystal-like cables as if it were a tightrope. For the curious, he got up there by running since there’s no other way to get to the top, unless you have wings.

Blurr frowns for a second before his lips curl into a grin and his optics flash. They look almost red for a nanosecond.]

Who wants to play with Blurr?

Better than ever, but bored. Do you want to play 004?

Depends on the game.

It's just a guessing game! [Come on you can trust that face.]

Okay, I'll shoot: guess what?

You need to figure out where I left those 3 bombs before they blow up. You can ask me questions but only if I get to ask you things as well. And you can't lie to me.

[!!!

No no no no that's not good. What the hell has happened to Blurr?!]

What kind of questions?

[He's somewhere inside, screaming in horror.]

Interesting questions of course. I will start. What's your deepest regret?

[004 feels his heart clench. He didn't want to say it, he couldn't...but he had to. He was duty bound now, it was up to him to fix any problems that arose.]

...you want me to answer honestly? How will you know I'm not lying?

Oh you can lie...but if I figure out you are doing that then I will activate the bombs until you tell me what I think it sounds like the truth. [So in fact this is just a game about how much he really enjoys your answer rather than the truth itself.]

[He was a machine...he probably had ways of finding out. He couldn't let people die because of his own discomfort. God, this feels like a huge stab in the back. He looks down with his fists clenched.]

My biggest regret...I regret jumping the gun at the border. If I hadn't been so careless and not hit the brakes...Hilda wouldn't have...she'd still be alive.

Now, where are the bombs?

[Blurr studies him, optics slightly narrowed as the other speaks.]

No, no, no, not so fast. You need to explain yourself properly. Hilda? Your partner?

She...

[Way to twist the knife.]

She was my fiance. We wanted to leave East Germany...we disguised ourselves as a zoo truck...they took my papers and...

I panicked. I pressed brake and they fired on us...we made it, but she...she barely made it. She was free for two minutes.

Now answer my question!

[He's all Blurr isn't, which means he's a sadistic son of a glitch who enjoys people's pain.]

So he's dead and it's your fault. What was there in East Germany that was so scary you were ready to risk your lives?

One of them is in one of the temples.

[He knows that, he blames himself everyday. From his face it shows.]

We weren't scared. We were just sick of living someplace where they watch our every move, tell us where to work, tell us what to say...we wanted to be free...

Which temple?

[Blurr blames him now too, because seeing people suffer is hilarious.]

I've heard that story before. it also ended in death.

[Blurr waves a finger.]Ah ah ah, you didn't say the magic word. And it's my turns to ask a question. What's the worse thing you ever did, aside from causing her death?

I already answered two of your questions. Tell me which temple.

I forgot which one. I have a lot of data in my processor, you see.

Then get sorting fast, I'm through playing games.

....uhm..it ended in 'Prime'

[His head drops.]

You're just going to keep playing this game with me. You'll never tell me.

Took you long enough...

[He needs to steel himself. His look turns from one of despair to grim determination.]

I'm going to stop you, whether you tell me or not.

It will be fun to see you try.
