>HOW ARE YOU THIS SELF-AWARE?
[There's a pause before Jack does a weird whistle and shrugs.]
POMPY: "How"? Beats the HELL out of me.
MORDRED: Huh.
MORDRED: The little man inside the game in charge of telling me about the game doesn't know how the game works.
POMPY: Them's the breaks, Pal.
POMPY: I can't tell you things I don't know, and I don't have the outside perspective like you have.
POMPY: I can only see what is happening within the game of DISFORTUNA, as well as anything that has previously happened.
MORDRED: This is
MORDRED: Quite the unusual exercise in worldbuilding.
POMPY: I gotta live in the world to tell you all about it, MORDRED-bud.
POMPY: Hey, lemme start again.
POMPY: My employer is called the TERMINAL or the E.G.O REX. He is part of the game's operating system protocol, the living defense system built to maintain the integrity of DISFORTUNA above all else.
POMPY: Working beneath the TERMINAL, I have been assigned a sacred mission: to guide the PLAYER through the tutorial as well as to assist him in the fullest capacity.
POMPY: To this end, the TERMINAL has granted me the acess to interface with DISFORTUNA and its systems and subsystems. From that point onward, I was able to sense your presence and subsequent entry into the tutorial zone.
POMPY: The same goes towards that last fucking PLAYER before he threw me out the airlock like the jerkoff he is.
[Jack starts throttling the side of his character portrait in impotent rage before resuming his relaxed pose.]
POMPY: So whenever you see any TIPS and INFORMATION, you have little old me to thank.
[He shoots his finger guns towards you again. You realize what he's prompting. You wait for a solid few minutes before you relent.]
MORDRED: Thank you Jack.
POMPY: No problem, best buddy.
[You let out a deep sigh out of half-mock, half-genuine exasperation as smug chuckling dribbles out from the game audio.]
POMPY: I'm the one and only PSYCHOPOMP model, so try not to break me, alright Pal?
POMPY: And one word of advice now that I've read through the logs: <span class="mu-s">be careful with that XOM fellow.</span>
POMPY: There are things and beings even we don't talk about.
POMPY: Beings that come from the unknown beyond the deep sea, the sea of stars.
