*Yeah, Alice, I remember you. And yeah, your name is still there in bright lights on the Zoner "Associate List". Now, girlie, tell me why in Thud it should remain there?*
*Here's a little "Intel" for your bag of unanswered questions, Alice:
*1) I'm the "discord" that this "First Thought" wants to "fuse" with. Sounds like a pretty "iffy" deal to me, schweetheart. I don't think I'll be offering myself up any time soon for tea and crumpets on Gammu. Hope you understand;
*2) The entity formerly known as "Scorn" was once human. His name was Pyrial, and he's safe and sound with the TAZ, although still rather traumatized by his sojourn with and treatment at the hands of the Harvesters. He is recuperating nicely at an undisclosed location. He is our guest, and has shown no indication whatsoever that he wishes to return to the Harvester "collective". If you're familiar with "Free Will", Alice, you'll understand why FTGW won't be seeing Pyrial for tea and crumpets either;
*3) We have told dear FTGW til we're blue in the face that this "alpha code" is no longer in any existing Zoner database. Period. The TAZ and the Zoner Council have turned Zoner history upside down looking for any record of a possible code that fits the parameters. It ain't there. Our best guess is that even if it did exist, it's been lost for centuries. However, your new buddy FTGW just can't seem to get that fact through its thick circuits. Talk about obtuse, Alice. We're not trying to obfuscate or "oppress", hon. We would gladly give up the damn code if we had it. Maybe you'll do a better job of conveying that than we have;
*4) It's really nifty that you have this huge yearning to find the meaning of Life, the Universe, and how to win the Lotto, and maybe you think the best way to achieve that is by sitting' on the fence, but I really doubt that's a comfort to the families and loved ones of the Zoners who've had their brains sucked and been turned into lube paste by some uncaring machine; and finally
*5) as a corollary to number 4, I really don't give a Thud about your stupid burrito.*
