A Polite Conversation (Optional 2)

 is an optional chamber in The Turing Test

Summary
A Polite Conversation is an achievement received after solving the optional puzzle located in Chapter 2.

Solving the puzzle unlocks a small room containing a computer terminal.

The terminal is a reverse Turing test. Rather than the human testing the computer, the computer is testing the human. Initially, player input is permitted. After several attempts to communicate, player input is disabled. The player's input is now prescripted, regardless of what is typed.

''I am a drone. I am controlled by my programming. I have no free will. Whatever keys are pressed, it makes no difference.''

Further attempts to type a message are now disabled. The player must attempt to exit the game.

''I want to escape. I so desperately want to escape. Help. I can’t escape. I want to break free. Please, let me out. Get me out. I am a machine. I have no control.''

Finally, the computer releases you.

Goodbye, robot.
