"Ugh, Quill, you absolute moron. You shouldn't mention the fourth wall unless you absolutely have to. Shouldn't someone as smart as you have realized that you could get me to come back to Antartica just by mentioning I could ethically source human test subjects at a hospital? Without bringing the fourth wall into it at all. This doesn't mean you're wrong, just that you could have done this without risking metaphysical retaliation."

[Glass]

“Florist, we discussed this, which is why I said that you knew what the offer was if you came back. And regardless, the information about the fact that Levin could actually help you do it right this time came up, which is why I didn’t just mention the hospital thing. I was going to, but it turned out there was a second viable option.
The question is, which one are you going to take?”

[FallacyofUrist]

"Well obviously I'm going to take the hospital option, but that doesn't change the fact that you shouldn't be mentioning the fourth wall willy-nilly. Imagine if there was somebody listening in on you talking. The best option for you was to just mention the option of ethical test subjects at a hospital, and that only. That would have worked without any fuss."

Imagine if there was somebody listening in on you talking.

Interrupt at “Imagine if-”
“Think very carefully about what you’re about to say and if you would actually want it to be the case.”

[FallacyofUrist]

Fallas is notably the kind of person who doesn't stop talking when he's interrupted, rather keeping going and thinking about what was said afterwards.

"'sceuse me, sirs" a chirpy male voice says. "This is probably some deep classified bull, but I'm at the Adelaide Relay Station and just picked up this headset by accident, and... what the hell is a fourth wall, sirs?"

-_-

“It means nothing without context, which you neither have nor are authorized to have. If you somehow figure it out on your own despite that, send a notice to the Department of Cryptography and they’ll give you a job. In the meantime, put down the headset and leave.”

I’d just like to express that this is beyond idiotic on every facet.

"Oh, uh, alright," the voice says. There's a pause. "And, uh, what was that about T. Levin or someone experimenting on people in a hospital?"

[Glass]

[This post will have the decided-on response edited in later.]

[Tyrant Leviathan]

In which yeah, T Levin actually does not want to be Frankenstein anymore. Play other science fields, since he was a scientist, given how his stuff even bad out shines what Florist has some how done.

[blueturtle1134]

So yeah, this was stupid. In the interest of getting it over quicker:

Choose one or more of the following to do about the person that listened in.

A: Tell him to put down the headset and leave
B: Have a security team dispatched to arrest him
C: Get his name so that he can be watched
D: Press him for more details on how much he heard and why he heard it.

[Glass]

C, plus a semi-B to check to make sure he’s not a spy and areat him if it seems he is, but otherwise just watch.

[Rockeater]

Complete B+C, He is still listening in on a conversation he doesn't need to.
