conversations.value: **ANNO DOMINI MMXCV. **
  
  It is the year 2095 AD.  Throughout the centuries, Rome has remained the dominant power on Earth.  She is now ready to extend her dominion yet further!
  This is the story of the Roman Empire’s first attempt to establish a permanent colony beyond the Earth-Moon system.  Leaving a troubled planet behind, a squadron of three nuclear-powered Roman spaceships are about to embark on mankind’s greatest adventure.  They will establish a permanent colony called Campus Martius (the Field of Mars) on the Red Planet.  The would-be conquerors of a barren alien world are made up of colonists, explorers, scientists, legionaries and administrators.  
  Will you join them as they step into the hostile Unknown in the name of the Emperor, Senate and People of Rome?

conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: No matter how advanced its programming, nothing in the Sapiens 1000 software has been able to prepare Little Pliny for the shockingly irrational behavior of humans.  It will just have to figure out all of this on its own...

conversations.value: In Cumae, you were a Vestal Virgin, and enjoyed the perks offered to Vesta's  priestesses from time immemorial.  Leaving behind a life of comfort (but hopefully retaining the protection of the 'Society of the Brothers of St. Mamercus'), you have volunteered to take the ancient traditions to the new colony, where you hope a new temple, a new home, and a new life will rise from the dirt (or is it sand?) on Mars.  But life on the Red Planet won't be all mola bread and circuses!  Your duties will include ministering to (or at least hanging out with) other pagans, tending a holographic Sacred Flame, and participating in animal husbandry and gardening.

conversations.value: 
  You betrayed Rome by helping her enemy!  From willingly sharing information about the Empire in general (and the Mission to Mars in particular), to trying to obliterate (or at least manipulate) data in the onboard computer systems, to setting fires that you thought, hoped, would cause damage to (and chaos in) the spacecraft, you did everything you could to destroy *Anchises* before the ship's landing struts, and occupants, touched the Red Planet.

conversations.value: 
  Through methods of seduction, neuro linguistic programming, or more aggressive techniques (think *torture!*), you are skilled in learning the targets motivations, and how to elicit information from someone without them even realizing that they are giving up information.  You are also effective at using these same techniques to turn enemies on each other, and on themselves.

  You are devastated by your failure to destroy the *Anchises,* and your inability to stop Rome from colonizing Mars.  And you feel like a *èrbǎiwǔ* (idiot) because you were captured.  By three women.  *Roman* women.  Sheez!

conversations.value: You’ve gotten in, and *out of* lots of ‘situations’ - but this time, in this place, you’re at the mercy of the *Romans.*  And they don’t exactly have a history of being “merciful.”  But you still hope and pray (and plan!) to survive - irregardless of whatever hardships or humiliation (or both) you have to endure.
