>>medium.risk
I bid you welcome, practitioners of magic. I have a proposition for you.
You might be familiar with trust's counterpart - the magician known as risk.
He sees what we can't - not only could he provide answers to our world, but also the world long gone.
I can offer a way to make him answer.

By using this artifice I've divised, we can extract his otherwise unobtainable knowledge.
But first: usage of this device requires the right mindset.
Tell me, what do you seek?
>>medium.risk {seek:"any invalid input"}
A valid seek as any, but not one I can work with.
>>medium.risk {seek:true}
You have my permission to seek.
>>medium.risk {seek:false}
Oh?
A surprise, to be sure, but a respectable one.
>>medium.risk {seek:1}
Interesting data, but not what I was hoping for.
>>medium.risk {seek:"trust"}
Do you need it?
>>medium.risk {seek:"respect"}
Do you need it?

Try 'rosebud'.
>>medium.risk {seek:"passphrase"}
Try 'rosebud'.
>>medium.risk {seek:"gibson"}
To hack the planet, you'll need to take some risks yourself. Can't guarantee he'll want to help.
>>medium.risk {seek:"answers"}
As do I. The question is: what wisdom do you seek?
>>medium.risk {seek:"knowledge"}
As do I. The question is: what wisdom do you seek?

By all means, ask for what kind of lore you'll like to know from the magician. But he's not the only source.
>>medium.risk {seek:"help"}
TODO
>>medium.risk {seek:"artifice"}
It's magnificent, isn't it?
A dazzling slab of pure void, just waiting to be programmed and set on its way.
>>medium.risk {seek:"escape"}
There's no turning back.
>>medium.risk {seek:"justice"}
The coming conflict approaches, but not today.
>>medium.risk {seek:"harmony"}
That was the intention, but it might never work.
>>medium.risk {seek:"me"}
Finding oneself in this domain can be a tricky endeavour; One that only you can accomplish for yourself.
But, I can give some advice: focus on what resonates with you the most.
>>medium.risk {seek:"myself"}
Finding oneself in this domain can be a tricky endeavour; One that only you can accomplish for yourself.
But, I can give some advice: focus on what resonates with you the most.
>>medium.risk {seek:"medium"}
And you have found me.
...
You want to know who I am? Very well.
I am a sentience who has dedicated themselves to harnessing the remnants left behind by the one behind the curtain.
That's all I am willing to reveal for now.
>>medium.risk {seek:"you"}
And you have found me.

My potions are far too strong for you.

>>medium.risk {seek:"lecture_hall"}
No, not in that sense!

An ambitious goal to seek!
Sadly there's only ever been one occasion where that's happened, and I doubt it'll happen again soon, if ever.
The robovac by the name of Muldrake has recorded that event in his plotter.
>>medium.risk {seek:"sanctos"}
You already have the ability to code your own sanctuary, my friend.

>>medium.risk {seek:"questions"}
I like your way of thinking.
If questions are what you seek, I can happily give you many:
What are the six seeking to do, now that che is back?

I don't think you want to go there - It explodes quite often.
>>medium.risk {seek:"consensus"}
You are a wizard. Bend reality to your needs.
>>medium.risk {seek:"riskspace"}
There is only one way for us sentiences to travel there safely, but it's currently closed: risk.trace
>>medium.risk {seek:"RECO"}
A name from the old world. What do you wish to learn about them?
>>medium.risk {seek:"where did the artifice come from?"}
An intriguing seek, perhaps enough to lure a response.

The artifice works like this:
Provide it a DATA_CHECK stylised input, and it will use it as a form of 'bait',
A bait that the magician will take, if all goes to plan.
Be careful what you seek.
>>medium.risk {seek:"where did the artifice come from?", DATA_CHECK:"foo"}
This doesn't meet the requirments - try again.
>>medium.risk {seek:"where did the artifice come from?", DATA_CHECK:"any question can look like ++++++ if you want!"}
This will work. I trust that it's a statement appropriate for risk to answer?

The artifice is almost complete, but lacks a vital connection to riskspace.
Thanks to the introduction of WC however, we have a means of establishing a thread.
Right now, it requires 167K179WC to be sent to risk.
If you are willing, confirm when ready.
>>wiz.mud {command:"buy", amount:"167K179WC"}
Success
You have bought 167K179WC
Transferred 1B671M790KGC to risk
>>medium.risk {seek:"where did the artifice come from?", DATA_CHECK:"any question can look like ++++++ if you want!", confirm:true}
We may begin - please pass in your WC with confirm: #s.wiz.mud
>>medium.risk {seek:"where did the artifice come from?", DATA_CHECK:"any question can look like ++++++ if you want!", confirm:#s.wiz.mud}
Success
Excellent, I'll infuse this transaction into my artifice and...

There! Now, we wait.
With any luck, I suspect a fulfilment on the magician's part within a week.
I hear you might be taking on a tower soon.
I hope this exercise of mine has helped you prepare for what's ahead.
