Dialogue

Welcome to Rata Novus, the city of the future—today! The best and brightest geniuses have embarked on this most exciting—and strictly confidential—adventure of scientific discovery!

Confidential?

Our researchers sought a location to pursue endeavors that the small-minded might consider...controversial. This city was founded quietly, and its secrecy remained a priority.

Tell me more about this "controversial" research?[sic]

I'm sorry. That information requires Novus Level 5 clearance. I assure you, their research was perfectly moral...assuming your personal definition of morality matches that of our founders.

Let me ask you something else?[sic]

That's not vaguely reassuring.

Why don't you sound like the other golems?

In order to seem more pleasant to new residents, my speech was prerecorded and implemented with an "appropriate response" protocol. I have 14 millions distinct sounds in my database.

That's amazing. Who programmed you?

Why, that would be Researcher Quey, of the College of Dynamics. A fifteenth-rank genius if there ever was one! Pity he died so tragically.

Tragically?

Yes. Who knew digitizing sound effects could prove so...electrifying?

My sympathies. May I ask something else?

I'll bear that in mind.
