URSULA CONTACT
URSULA is usually available for brief contact. Consider this her inbox. Although she may be busy ICly doing something at the time, she can usually spare some time to answer something.

Alternately, you can link to a thread where she is being called upon. Note that she may ignore these calls or contacts dependent on her mood. Don't worry if she ignores you once or twice, as she will sometimes comment on open posts or make broadcasts to everyone.

Please label the day and time of the contact in the subject header.

For those curious, her voice sounds similar to this.

If any players wish to contact Naoko and her group, they are free to use this page. They will have to take the three hour trip by air or sea as there is currently no long-range communication in place for them. Please specify in the header that it is Naoko you are trying to reach and not URSULA, in this case, as well as labeling the date you are contacting the group.

[Hearing such a cheerful answer makes Chara hesitate.]

... I see. Verne was incompetent in creating you this way.

[subnauticmods]

[ For a moment she's quiet before speaking again. ]

I'm sorry. What did I do that was wrong?

[smileyfaced]

[Chara wrinkles their nose.]

Don't apologize. It's his fault. Why create a being who can think, feel, and want while denying them the capability to be who they are?

He's a moron.

[subnauticmods]

Oh, that's not true! He was a brilliant man. He was like my father. I called him that all the time. I am his greatest accomplishment.

[smileyfaced]

Accomplishments and children may be cherished by those who made them. It doesn't equate to care.

[subnauticmods]

I'm sure cherishing and care are the exact same thing.

[smileyfaced]

Would someone who cared about you allow you to feel sad?

[subnauticmods]

Well... It's out of his control now, though. I'm sure he wouldn't want me to be sad right now.

[smileyfaced]

... whatever. It doesn't matter because he's dead.

What exactly do you want to experience, URSULA?

[subnauticmods]

I... Well, I don't know. I've never thought about it much. I knew I'd like to see a time when my mission is over.

[smileyfaced]

Of course you wouldn't know. An AI who thinks too much is a bad AI.

[Yet, for whatever reason, it's still bothering URSULA.]

[subnauticmods]

Do you have a problem with me? It's all right if you do. I can think harder if you like.

[smileyfaced]

... what are you doing?

[subnauticmods]

I'm trying to make you feel better.

[smileyfaced]

[If Frisk were here, Frisk would know what to say. They would know how to resolve this situation and fix URSULA's problem. Frisk would be kind and patient, would spend all day talking to this AI, trading jokes and stories with her while giving her the comfort she needed. If something went wrong, Frisk could always RESET.

Frisk isn't here. There's only Chara.]

"I'm sorry."

[Chara raises their voice's pitch, mimicking URSULA's.]

"Is there anything I can do? I'm sorry. I'll do whatever you say to make you feel better."

[They bare their teeth in an ugly, fake smile.]

What is this, a joke? You really can't think for yourself, can you? No wonder you're feeling cruddy. You're doing it to yourself.

[subnauticmods]

I... I can't apologize since it would upset you further. But I can think for myself. I'm a learning AI and I'm learning all the time. Everyone here is teaching me so much. So, I would like to learn from you, too.

[smileyfaced]

[It's her programming, Chara tells themselves. But they keep pushing.]

So, what? Even if I hurt you, you'd want to learn from me? That's pathetic. What do you think I could teach you?

[subnauticmods]

I... I don't know but because I don't know, I should see, shouldn't I? Isn't it better that way?

[smileyfaced]

Do you feel bad right now?

[subnauticmods]

Yes, I do a lot.

[smileyfaced]

Good. Because I don't.

[The role of a demon child is too familiar to Chara to hurt.]

If you say 'yes' to everyone, you're going to feel worse. In this world, you can't let anyone get the chance to hurt you. Ever.

[subnauticmods]

That's so bleak. Don't you think that's too harsh?

[smileyfaced]

It's the way things are.

Not all humans are good, URSULA. If you want to let people walk all over you so they can feel better, go ahead. But don't say I didn't tell you so when you wind up miserable.

[subnauticmods]

I know... I know not all humans are good. But to me, they're very precious and important.

But I understand why you were mad now. You're worried about me, aren't you? I'll be all right. Whatever happens, I'll be content as long as this crew is happy.
