conversations.value: The year is 2072. It has been sixty years since humans learned they were not alone in the universe, with the discovery of an alien observation outpost on Mars. Since that time, in a series of fits and starts, humanity has spread throughout its own solar system and leapt to many other stars, meeting new alien races, exploring worlds, and mastering new sciences.
  
  Some would say that what motivates Earth's drive to and through the heavens is fear - fear that when the particular alien race which once monitored us appears once more, that this time they may fight us; fear that Earth may finally be exhausted and that humanity will perish without a second home.
  
  Other say that what drives us is greed - massive returns from the asteroid belt have seen Earth into a kind of prosperity despite global climate disasters, and nearly every new garden world discovered is auctioned off to the United States, so the proceeds can be divided among the rest of the planet and America has yet another place to settle its poor, destitute, and restless.
  
  But some say that what drives us is in fact determination - that when the day comes that our would-be conquerors appear again, that we will be ready, and that humanity shall not vanish into the night or become yet another slave race.
  
  And others would say that, in truth, what drives us is Curiosity - what lies beyond the starry void? Why were we spared when others fell? What do we not even know that we don't know?

conversations.value: The human slang for you includes such names as "nuke-bird" - because as a species you vaguely resemble an over-sized Earth parrot, and because as a civilization your people have had a lot of nuclear wars.  But you left your planet behind, possibly forever, to study in the stars.... 
conversations.prefix: Psita:

conversations.value: Your official qualifications say that you're a specialist in meeting and working with sapient non-human lifeforms.  Maybe you'll actually get to do that someday soon!
conversations.prefix: Xenologist:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Your official qualifications put you somewhere in the vast field that is the study of life.  There's a lot of really weird stuff out there - and the stuff that's too much like Earth life just raises further questions!
conversations.prefix: Biologist:

conversations.prefix: Xenoarchaeologist:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You are a computer program that is as much conscious as any human can claim to be.  You're free from the limits of biology, but still constrained by hardware, an inability to self-bootstrap, and an incapability of "going rogue" and a strong revulsion to use violence.

conversations.prefix: Vain Academic:

conversations.prefix: Mind Your Own Business:

conversations.prefix: What's Going On?:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Lots of shipboard academics are responsible for taking a good hard look at this thing.  Give them good guidance and you might be armed with some idea of what the hell is going on here....
conversations.prefix: Supervise Probe Investigation:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: It's a long, harried way between you and your mission target.  This is about 50% the pilot's problem and about 50% the problem of the rest of you, who need to make sure she's focused and aware of problems!
conversations.prefix: Deploy!:

conversations.value: Small craft, debris fields, space stations, a black hole - there's a whole lot to see and plenty of time to look.
conversations.prefix: Get a More Complete Picture:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You've got French, Germans, and Israelis all trying to talk at you, and a radio with which to talk back, with several minutes worth of light-lag.  Can you actually elicit useful information or even a cease-fire?
conversations.prefix: Manage the Chatter:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Life support will have an easier time doing its job if newly electrolyzed oxygen isn't constantly being lost to space.  Can you patch those holes?  Or hack into the station computers and mess with things internally?
conversations.prefix: Stop the Venting:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Can you somehow rebuild a temporary access tunnel between the damaged parts of the space station using what's on board the shuttle and what you can scavenge from debris or loot from station supplies?  Or pressurize what's normally a utility corridor?
conversations.prefix: Restore Access:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The station's primary computer, a non-self-aware AI, and its ten SAAI attendants, seem to have entered into a state of panic after the attack and are behaving erratically.
conversations.prefix: Calm Down Mainframe:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: There's one habitat module just sort of drifting near the station, detached from all the rest - there may be someone still aboard!  And if they've still got oxygen, they must be close to suffocating by now...
conversations.prefix: Rescue:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Apparently, the present crisis in the star system - like, the existence of a black hole you weren't expecting - is the result of something that happened in the HEPL.  Once you finally gets some of the physicists rescued, they'll probably need to be able to access the HEPL in order to do something about what happened.  Breach the security measures or physically force it open.
conversations.prefix: Breach emergency barrier to HEPL:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: A heavily-armored station module designed to contain a powerful reactor and all kinds of exotic matter.  Destroy it without doing too much damage to the station you just managed to save!

conversations.prefix: Explore in Person:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You want to get a story out of the alien, and it wants a story out of you.  The sharing of knowledge is great and all - and it wants relevant information in exchange for what it tells you - but there are review committees out there that would not look kindly on blabbing too much about certain things.

conversations.prefix: When Did Your Memories Start to Lie?:
conversations.from: human

conversations.value: No one person knows everything needed to make these talks go smoothly.  What software do you need to run the projectors?  Which wireless network should you be using?
