What do you regard as the lowest depth of misery?
Lonliness that comes from living among people but not engaged with them.
Where would you like to live?
Anywhere but this cold rock.
What is your idea of earthly happiness?
Living as my true self.
To what faults do you feel most indulgent?
Obsession. I want to know who I am. Who I really am.
Who are your favorite heroes of fiction?
The ones who smile at death and frown at victory; with victory comes boredom.
Who are your favorite characters in history?
The forefounders, of course: Marlow, Cairn, Attadar, Feresien, Singh, and Wythropp
Who are your favorite heroines in real life?
My mother...whoever she was; and Yareli: Nobody is a better sister.
Who are your favorite heroines of fiction?
Can she outthink and outfight me? I like her.
Your favorite painter?
Really?
Your favorite musician?
Next.
The quality you most admire in a man?
Wisdom; restraint when he most wants to act; action when restraint would have been best. Me? I'm the act-first-and-regret-later-if-I-must kind of guy.
The quality you most admire in a woman?
She's good in her skin because she knows being a woman is more powerful than man any day, and yet, she doesn't act like a man to make her point. She doesn't have to.
Your favorite virtue?
There's a stratification system?
Your favorite occupation?
Ed-docs, definitely. A guy can't have too much education even if he's just a hydroponics farmer.

Glad someone finally asked! And now that you do, I'm not sure. Ask me later.
Your most marked characteristic?
I tend to act first because only action will get results.

Knowing and being known. Belonging.

Obsession.
What to your mind would be the greatest of misfortunes?
Going to war because of a broken communications emitter.

Someone who knows himself.
What is your favorite color?
Anything warm. Warm colors are life. Cool colors remind me of a morgue.
What is your favorite flower?
We don't have flowers here. I've seen them on an ed-doc, though. A rose? Maybe a lily. I like how they are both flowers but opposites.
What is your favorite bird?
I'll tell you when we get birds someday.
Who are your favorite prose writers?
Huh?
Who are your heroes in real life?
In dire situations, when pushed to it, those who lay down their lives for others.

How many more dumb questions do we have?

As though knowing that will make a difference.

Diplomacy. Please.
How would you like to die?
As I've lived: in motion.
What is your present state of mind?
You can't tell?
What is your motto?
Do Better; Be Better. That's the only thing I'll take from the forefounders.
