Dialogue

Mumukko: I know I needn't ask, but have you some time on your hands, Forename?

Q: What will you say?

> I know I needn't answer, but indeed I do!
> Hm, then perhaps I needn't answer...

Mumukko: Then we have an unspoken understanding!
Mumukko: Oh, don't play coy! You do, don't you?

Q: What will you say?

> Okay, you win.
> What if I truly didn't? Wouldn't you feel awful?

Mumukko: I always do.
Mumukko: Well played, but I won't be fooled. If you truly had better things to do, you wouldn't be standing here!
Mumukko: We've recently begun distributing two new types of equipment to contributors. Thus far, reception seems positive.
Mumukko: As they were costly to develop, however, I must determine whether this has been a worthwhile investment of time and resources.
Mumukko: All the more so given that I was the one who approved the proposal to begin with. 'Tis a poor manager who scrutinizes everything but her own judgment.
Mumukko: Thus, I should like you to survey the individuals making use of our cutting-edge gear. To ensure candid responses, you understand.
Mumukko: I'm sure you'll find no few fitting subjects right here at Terra Firma!
Mumukko: If you see anyone wearing a shiny new suit, kindly ask for their thoughts. There's no more to the assignment than that.

POWERSUIT05452A: Why, my new powersuit is an absolute delight! In my opinion, strength augmentation is its most useful feature.
POWERSUIT05452A: In this garb, even a bookworm bereft of biceps can lift heavy cargo with ease─and I daresay we Sharlayans could do with the help. Ha!
POWERSUIT05452A: It has a diverse range of other functions, too─each implemented based on input from the entire crew.
POWERSUIT05452A: I am certain other early adopters have found their suits a boon as well. How fortunate that the initiative chose to invest in them!

POWERSUIT05452B: My opinion on the powersuit? I suppose the feedback stage is a vital part of development... Let me think.
POWERSUIT05452B: Well, the helm's pretty great. Roomy enough for my ears to fit comfortably, and the filter supplies clean, breathable air in even the most toxic environments.
POWERSUIT05452B: The best part, though? If your task calls for a lighter touch, you can wear it without the suit! If that's not innovation, I don't know what is!
POWERSUIT05452B: I'll bet Mumukko sent you, didn't she? Well, you can tell her we all love the powersuit!

Shootingway: Fabulous! Hold that pose, please!

COSMOGENERAL: Pshhh... Shkohhh... 'Tis I, the Dark Vizier! Challenge me if you dare, my child, but know this: you underestimate the power of...the Darkness.
COSMOGENERAL: In this garb, I wield the power of the galaxy itself. Its magnificence is beyond question. Mwahahaha!
COSMOGENERAL: My helm is the crown of our Cosmic Empire! Through a veil of crimson, I see the force of the aether spilling from every last star!

Shootingway: Sorry, darling─he's rather immersed in his role at the moment. This attire attracts a subset of...passionate proponents, you see!
Shootingway: (He told me he likes to blow off steam after work by pretending he's an evil space overlord... Erm, is everything all right back on Etheirys...?)

COSMOGENERAL: Shkohhh...! The corruption of Oizys feeds my power!

Shootingway: The camera loves you, darling! Give me fierce!

Mumukko: I take it you found enough participants for a representative sample, then.
Mumukko: First, I'd like to hear the feedback you received from the powersuit users. Suggestions? Complaints?

Q: What will you say?

> The strength augmentation has been well received.
> People are raving about the helm's versatility.
> They fit well! Particularly around the ears.

Mumukko: Sounds like a worthy investment to me! I'll arrange for mass production at once.
Mumukko: And the star admiral attire? Is it too ostentatious?

Q: What will you say?

> Its glory fills the wearer with galactic power!
> It inspires...enthusiasm, shall we say.
> Pshhh... Shkohhh...

Mumukko: I...see? Well, if it improves morale, I'll allow it.
Mumukko: Don't tell me it's bewitched you, too... Rest assured I won't dare to cancel production, lest the enthusiasts come for me!
Mumukko: I'm told the costume originates from an opera with a dedicated following in Labyrinthos─an interstellar epic whose author is as yet unknown.
Mumukko: I was skeptical of its proposed value to the initiative, but it was so highly requested by ardent advocates that we had no choice but to concede.
Mumukko: Perhaps I ought to try it on myself, that I might better understand its appeal... One moment.

COMMANDINGWAY: Mumukko!? What in Mother's name are ye wearin', lass!?

PHASINGWAY: How to put this... You wear it so well, it makes me feel...unsettled? Afraid?

COMMANDINGWAY: She's frightenin' enough in her usual getup! Take it off, I beg of ye!

Mumukko: Oh ho ho...
Mumukko: They may claim to have no time for Mumukko, but none dare defy the Cosmic Executive!
