[ Ky is settled in an armchair with his bubble in front of him. He studies it thoughtfully for a moment before he turns his attention to the SFC. ]

It seems to me that for whatever reason we're here we all are here and maybe these bubbles are here to give us a better idea of each other's motivations. 

[ Because Ky has to take everything as either an opportunity or a challenge, and this seems like both. He's sure that he's not supposed to hide from his bubble, so he's trying now to do the opposite. ]

I know it's not for me to say what other people should do, but as for myself I think this is an opportunity to speak with people, and to know that I can't hide anything. 

I don't...have a particular topic that I'd like to discuss, although I would request that we avoid such topics as sex or romance. 

[ And here is Ky's bubble, which had been behaving itself, starts to fade to the silhouette of two people kissing, and Ky miffs at it. ]

[Ky nods, not switching off his own video, although his bubble is pretty neutral at the moment.]

I don't intend to be encroaching on other people's secrets. But for me, I want to be clear and open with people. I don't have many secrets that would hurt others or myself if they got out.

[ He'd rather not show his. His thoughts were dangerous things. ]

I'm afraid thanks to the bubble's newest... present... encroaching on secrets is rather unavoidable. Don't get me wrong. Your intentions are noble and I do respect them.

Better to be safe than sorry, after all.

Perhaps, although it seems to me that enforced isolation shouldn't be the only solution.

[Ky gazes at his own bubble for a moment in contemplation.]

I like to think that I'm reasonably comfortable with what passes through my head.

[lamorteblanc]

Admirable, despite being perhaps a little foolish. You'll have to pardon my cynicism.

[ A beat. ]

You have no enemies to guard your thoughts against...?

voice;

[closedcircuit]

Not here. And even where I come from...they aren't the sort that I guard my thoughts against.

[ It's not like Ky's any good at hiding his feelings without any sort of bubble. ]

voice;

[lamorteblanc]

Consider yourself lucky then.

[ A pause and what seems to be the sound of a pen tapping. ]

There are others after all who prefer their privacy but you seem to be a rather outspoken young man.

[ Ky inclines his head. That much certainly is true. ]

My opinions won't do any good if I don't share them with anyone.

There are those who have died for knowing too much. But I wish you good luck with your rather... interesting outlook.

There are also those who have died for knowing too little and they will never know why they died.
