The Navigator wishes to see what humanity does when presented with sub optimal opportunities to choose.

And I wish to see you all suffer.

Therefore, our business arrangement is successful.

Well, you’re lovely. Mate, let me ask you this. How about we get rid of your decisions, and shove them up your butthole. Also, I would like to apply for a job as a detective, to ensure we suffer and make choices that don’t matter, that we don’t get, and maybe look for hidden transmissions.

My decisions have infinitely more power than yours, weak human.

Your pathetic Choices have led you to your predicament of anxiety and stress.

The Navigator does not approve of such coarse language in The Experience.

Please, let’s all be civil here.

I would hate to see another person in your life replaced.

(that's a bit risky- are you sure we want to anger Nomad?)

Um, to be fair, it's the meddling of the Navigator that has put us in the current predicament, not our own choices.

You claim to be in the right, but who are you fooling? Only yourself, and your so called "Navigator."

Greetings, participants. I am sorry to say this, as I was having much fun with The Experience, but The Navigator has decided it is time for The Experience to be concluded.

We located an insurgent cell a ways off from your presumed home planet.

We have decimated it.

We have discovered transmissions, sent by that cell, which were attempting to thwart The Experience.

They tainted it. We cannot allow such tampering in our controlled experiments.

As such, this Experience has, as of this moment, concluded.

Thank you for your worthless choices and for your pain.

And above all,

Thank you for participating.

- Nomad

That is for you to ponder.

Just to make absolutely clear this is OOC: If this is over I don't want to waste time trying to 'solve' it :P. It seems like a pretty cool thing (I noticed the ARG tag) and if the goal is to have people interact with it in a certain way I'd hate for it to go unfulfilled! Again, though, I don't want to spend time looking for something that isn't there. If this was just a fun and unique way to tell a story, I'd like to leave it at that.

No.

I reject this.

You’re not my boss. My only boss is the love of freedom and my country. You cannot have my pain, because to give it my pain would be to give up all that has been given me, been done for me. Screw you and the “Navigator”. You will never stop me from living a life worth living. You will never stop me from choosing my actions.

You will never smother us.

Goodbye, Nomad. May you die. May you suffer.

May you end.

Oh, child.

If only you knew. Every country ends at some point, your patriotism or nationalism or whatever you want to call it, is worthless.

And, yes, thank you, for your wishes of pain and death upon me.

But again,

If only you knew, young one, just how old and pained I am. I am centuries, eons, eternities older than you can ever dream of.

I’ve already died. I’ve already suffered.

I ended long ago, when I was stabbed in the back.

Goodbye, blissful mortal. I wish you a life shorter and more joyous than mine.

Ah yes, the “Back in My Day” routine. I am the Navigator. I will hurt you, Nomad. More than you have been hurt before.

Impostor. Impersonator.

Heretic and hypocrite.

The Navigator was my best friend before he was The Navigator. Do not try to impersonate him, do not presume you can just wear his title as a sweater when a breeze comes by.

I do not fear you, mortal. Nothing you do can cause me fear.

Fear me, ageless fool.

Fear me, mindless immortal.

Fear me, uncaring Nomad.

Fear me. 

Fear my emotions.

Fear my lack of logic.

Fear us.

Fear our Choice.

We choose.

Logic is the way of the future. Emotion is the way of the past.

Why fear the past? Why fear what is merely history to beings such as I?

I pray your eyes are opened.

Logic is overrated. And where has it gotten you, anyways? You seem miserable, and wont to inflict misery on others. Don’t you see, Nomad? It won’t help.

Emotionless logic brings a darker future than any feeling-saturated past could have been.
