Has Anyone Ever Betrayed Their Trust? Do They Still Speak To Them? / Elias

has anyone ever betrayed their trust?  do they still speak to them? / Elias

Character development asks // open

Elias doesn't really hold other people in very high regard unless it suits his own purposes. Everyone is just a pawn in his game to get what he wants out of his life. Really no one is safe, not even the Archivist who he tries so hard to push towards the end goal. He's already left people to die who were supposedly close to him. Friend just isn't a word he really understands the meaning of.

That being said, the last one to really betray his trust, being Gertrude Robinson, the previous Archivist before Jon, is dead because she tried to pull a fast one and destroy the institute. Elias handled that as soon as he was able.

So the answer is yes. And no he doesn't talk to them because people who betray his trust don't really live to tell the tale.

tell me all of the things that make you feel at ease

has there ever been a time where they feared for their life?  why? - for Dusan

He may be very good at hiding it, but Dusan is pretty afraid of losing everything. He doesn't remember what it was like for his parents to leave their home and have to immigrate to the US, but the fear still lives in him. And its the biggest reason why he wanted to create the perfect security system. To protect and steal data to make a profit off of it. He would never admit it, but the fact that DedSEC so easily gets into places and hurts people, that's what really scares him the most.

The time he really feared for his life, however, happened early in his time working for Blume. He had been living in Chicago, working on the first version of cTOS, which ultimately ended in disaster. He had been in the office when hackers attacked the building, hijacking the systems and shutting everything down. They had even broken into the building and were taking downy anyone who tried to stop them. Dusan managed to stay out of sight, even managing to break his own computer before they could find it and figure out just what he was doing. Even when things had quieted down, he still kept hidden until he was sure things were.

He saw an opportunity to improve cTOS. It was what quickly rose him through the ranks as CTO, and made him the spearhead behind the launch of cTOS 2.0 in Silicon Valley. His apartment is hidden, secure, protecting himself from anyone coming for him.

I terribly apologise for my wretched mind

I love making people who already hate me hate me more
