[Riddick's been ignoring the network for a while now, but he's had his shot at trying to escape and it didn't go quite as planned. He's a survivor, first and foremost, and he's had time to think over what he needs to do next, and it mostly falls back on gathering more information.]They say there's nothing better than first hand experience.

[Hey! He recognizes that voice.]

Guess you didn't make it. But how can you be alive if you died?

Seems like the Core really doesn't like you leaving. Even if you try taking the oldest roads out.

[Not that he'd actually intended to die. But he'd known prisoners who had taken that route before.]

Re: permavoice;

[doeswhathewants]

Going to keep trying?

[20_mentholkools]

I don't make the same mistake twice.

[doeswhathewants]

To get out in general, I mean. Not specifically by boat again.

[20_mentholkools]

I don't like being kept places.

[That's a yes.]

[doeswhathewants]

Yeah. Know that feeling.

[20_mentholkools]

Still planning on asking politely?

[doeswhathewants]

Couldn't hurt.

Though I think the Core and I are past that point in the relationship.

[20_mentholkools]

Something change your mind?

[doeswhathewants]

Things change. I think the Core's gotten hooks into me, so likely too late.

[20_mentholkools]

Thought the hooks got in us from the start.

[doeswhathewants]

I didn't think so. Perhaps I was wrong. Either way, it doesn't matter.

There will be other ways.

[20_mentholkools]

Going to take time to find them.

[It's not really something he wants to admit, but it was the truth, and there was no point pretending otherwise.]

[doeswhathewants]

You did say a good escape doesn't happen fast.

[20_mentholkools]

Usually faster than this.
