You decide that out of anyone you could talk to, <span class="mu-s">Talacent Takar</span> would be your best choice. Not only an ancestor of yours- but a figure to look up to. Someone who seemed to always do the right thing. You ask the Threemind to faithfully recreate him- and within a moment a bright projector from the drone creates a 2d image of the Supreme in the flesh along the wall.
How strange. The computer is giving the projection depth and faithful animation. It's like an illusion; despite it being flat, it looks so <span class="mu-i">real</span>. You could honestly believe he was really here with you. That hologram technology is progressing fast.
“Hello!” He chirps happily, throwing his arms out. “My great-great-great-and-many-more-times great Grandson! How do you do?!”
<span class="mu-g">”Hello, Patriarch. Truthfully... not well.”</span>
The Threemind already knows your troubles- and knows what you're likely going to say or ask this great figure from history. Despite this, to keep up the simulation, it seems to be roleplaying a character; Talacent having suddenly reappeared as if again from death for but a moment- much like one of the ghostly spirits of the past from a Blonde ballad.
<span class="mu-g">”I've made a great mistake, Ancestor. I killed the previous Supreme in a bid for power. And now realize I may have doomed the Hegemony to exist under my own selfishness. I am a fool.”</span>
“To slay a previous Supreme Ruler is not unheard of. It shows a weakness in the previous leader, and it gives an opportunity for one of the same caliber to succeed even if held back by random chance of favoritism. It is a flawless system.”
Are those really Talacent's words? Or the AI administrator speaking thru him?
