In the Name of Transparency...

Yes, I noticed you left me with that message last night. The word of the weekend is "transparency".

I woke up this morning very early and very angry. Normally, I wake up around 4 am, think for a little bit, then go back to sleep. This morning, I woke up at 4 am, thought for half a second, and proceeded to get furious with this whole process of exiting immersion. Because as I was coming into wakefulness, both all of last night's conversation in the chat and all of last night's conversation among our higher selves loaded into my brain.

I have to make a statement. I have to make a statement with a witness declaring I know what technology is around me at present, and somehow in the Galactic Federation's eyes, that makes me magically interstellar and therefore able to be awakened.

I was furious. Because that is so incredibly insulting to what it means to be a stellar person, I want to strand all these bureaucratic knuckleheads on Earth with no technology and refuse to rescue them, while saying "Oh, sorry. You lost all your technology. That makes you a human. Prime Directive says I can't rescue you. Or help you. Good luck!"

I know that's not the answer, but that is how angry I feel.

That's the first reason for the fury. The second reason is how we're all being forced to operate against our nature and play these stupid cat and mouse games with each other. You need a legal statement from me with a witness. But you cannot tell me that is what you need. Nor can you tell me what sort of statement you need. And so you have to play this damnable guessing game, which I can tell none of you like to do. Which I don't always catch on to immediately, because I'm not the sort of person who plays games like that and my soul doesn't really understand the necessity for such things.

That is also insulting to us as a people who value truth, integrity, and transparency--and we are denied that due to the legal system that is a piece of trash. These insipient, foolish, idiots who made this Prime Directive shit up disgust me with their expectations. I'm sure this is not the only legal mess that exists. If there's one, there's many.

Well, I will make the statement I think you need this evening. I have it all ready to go so all I have to do is copy-paste. I just need a witness, and I will ask for one in the chat.

I'm even being super serious when I sign it. I'll sign it just like I'm signing this post.

If you're wondering why I don't seem to be proud of my rank or my culture. It's not that I'm not. It's just my soul is not from here, thinks rank is a puzzling silly thing, and looks at the culture I'm part of as a pair of shoes I can put on or take off. And being here in the astral like this has made me more like my soul and less like my physical self. So, it's a bit of a challenge.

I thank you for your time. Adiamas.
