Interviewer: "Hello there Luminous, I am a interviewer from Neo-Genis, we might ask some personal information if that is fine, of course these surveys give slight benefit in game! You may refer to me as 'The Interviewer' or 'Mr.Interviewer', So first question first, What town or city do you live in?"

Luminous: "Oh! nice to meet you, I'm Orion, more rather known as Luminous in the world of Neo-Genis! Where I live? well... I live in Texas currently, specifically Austin. I've lived here for many-a-years now, been here since it was just a rural land, not whatever this big bustling city is haha..."

Interviewer: "Why do you live there instead of anywhere else?"

Luminous: "I live here because its where I have been for most of my life. Since I could remember, its been basically Austin! I would move, but probably not anytime soon, My main job is here, my best friend grave is also here and I drop on by to say hi to him pretty often.

A click can be heard, as the tape stops, before resuming.

Interviewer: "Describe your home for me"

Luminous, "My home is pretty simple, a 2 story house, Upstairs is a gaming room that I've left the Neo-Genis gear at, along with it has a PC, a bed for whenever I need to sleep but still stay next to my computer, and 2 closets. Downstairs, I rent out 2 rooms to others, while the master bedroom is mine. It has a fan, some LED lights to brighten it, and just a large dresser, otherwise, pretty bland room. I do have some figurines laying around in the room, but these days, I don't really pay much attention to them"

Another click can be heard and the tape ends there.

Interviewer: "Luminous, it's great to have you back for another session! Let’s talk about something many are curious about—your finances. How do you get your money right now, and what do you spend it on?"

Luminous: "Ah, the age-old question, isn't it? Well, most of my money comes from a mix of investments and savings I've carefully built over time. For my active income, I’m currently working under the NASA Artemis program. More recently, though, my adventures into Neo-Genis have actually netted me a fair bit of money as well. You’d be surprised how lucrative some of the ventures in that world can be—if you know where to look, of course."

Interviewer: "Fascinating! And what do you usually spend that hard-earned money on?"

Luminous: "Nowadays, a lot of it goes right back into Neo-Genis. I reinvest in gear, equipment, and anything that enhances my experience in the game. Outside of that, there are always other items and utilities that catch my eye. It’s become a sort of cycle—earning, reinvesting, and continuing the process."

Another click can be heard, and the tape ends there.

Interviewer: "Log 3: Ambition. Luminous—Orion—let’s cut straight to it. Describe your ambition. What are you striving for?"

Luminous: "My ambition? To uncover every secret of Neo-Genis. To document the mysteries no one else dares touch. The kind that... well, let’s just say they’re buried for a reason."

A low hum echoes before the tape stabilizes.

Interviewer: "How far would you go to achieve this?"

Luminous: "How far? Hah. I’d carve through the dark with my bare hands. Tear down walls, break rules—hell, I’d kill if I had to. Fear of death? Throw it away. Dive into the abyss? Already packing my bags."

A click. The recorder pauses, then restarts with a sharper whirr.

Interviewer: "Would you challenge even a god for this?"

Luminous: "If it stood between me and the truth? I’d stare it dead in the eye and demand answers. Gods, devils, whatever—just another obstacle. Neo-Genis hides something... monumental. And I’ll be the one to expose it."

The tape hisses, then cuts abruptly to silence.

Data encrypted. Subject: Pre-Contract Psychological Profile.

Data imported, Log resumed.

Interviewer: "Before we discuss your current work, let's establish baseline context. What would you consider the most defining event of your life prior to getting to, as you understand it, These Contracts granted by the Harbinger?

Luminous: [quiet chuckle] "Would you believe it was getting my security badge at NASA? The plastic still smelled new when it hit me—this wasn't just a planetarium daydream anymore."

Interviewer: "Childhood fascination?"

Luminous: "Obsession, more like. Spent my teens watching pirated lecture series on quasars instead of going to parties. That one 240p documentary about Hubble's Deep Field... I must've burned it through six projectors."

Interviewer: "And the reality of working there?"

Luminous: [tape picks up shifting fabric sounds] "Like realizing the stars you've drawn since kindergarten are actually screaming spheres of plasma. Beautiful, but—[static crackle]—they'll scorch your fingerprints off if you reach carelessly."

Interviewer: "Did that temper your idealism?"

Luminous: "Transformed it. The math behind event horizons? That's where the real magic lives. Light can't escape, but your mind does—stretching like spacetime itself." [abrupt pause] "Though I suppose you already know how that... predisposition led me here."

Interviewer: "Your file indicates exceptional gravitational lensing research."

Luminous: "We called it 'cosmic origami' in the lab. Folding light to see around corners of the universe—[murmured]*—before I learned to fold other things."

Click. Hiss of tape reel decelerating.

Security Clearance: Gamma-3 Required

Voiceprint verified. Proceeding.

Interviewer: "For cross-reference purposes: name and describe three individuals significant to you. One must be your closest relation."

Luminous: [dry laugh] "You make it sound like filling out a police report. Fine, fine..."

Interviewer: "Start with the present."

Luminous: "Sora. My... [sighs]—my close friend and fellow guild leader for awhile now, though I'm terrible at actually contacting him unless there's problems to solve or contracts to do work and shenanigans. The man's seen me bleed from dimensions you can't pronounce."

Interviewer: "Yet you maintain distance?"

Luminous: [tape picks up fingernails tapping ceramic] "He knows me rather well, I'm always working, struggling to relax, while he has his happiness and life to attend to, thats enough is it not?"

Click. 3.7 second pause detected.

Interviewer: "Next?"

Luminous: [voice brightens slightly] "Mimi! My little catastrophe-in-progress. Taught her to bend probability streams like origami cranes. Had to bargain with—[audio distortion]—well, let's say certain management entities to keep her and the others freedom intact."

Interviewer: "You refer to the 2025 Infernal Accord?."

Luminous: [sharp inhale] "Christ, do you people just have a filing cabinet labeled 'Orion's Bad Decisions'? Yes, that. Worth every damned conditions and clause on it."

Click. Mechanical whirring suggests tape adjustment.

Interviewer: "And the third?"

Luminous: [long silence, then whispered] "Lania. She's... not in this timeline's address book yet." [fabric rustling, possibly sleeves wiping face] "My previous incarnation's anchor. The one who'd bandage my knuckles after punching walls I couldn't break through. I've got all these restored memories now—[static surge]—but no coordinates."

Interviewer: "You believe she'll manifest?"

Luminous: [broken chuckle] "The multiverse owes me this much. She has to."

Click. Hiss.
Session terminated.

Decrypting early psychological profile...

Warning: Subject's academic records flagged for anomalous progression.

Interviewer: "Lets establish baseline. Describe your childhood environment: parental figures, educational trajectory, social integration."

Luminous: [snort] "You're starting to push it a little... Well, you want the sanitized version or the one where I explain why the school therapist had a dedicated 'Orion' file?"

Interviewer: "Begin with education."

Luminous:  "Smart kid flies through school stereotype. AP classes by 12, college credits stacking up like unread astrophysics journals. By the time my peers were figuring out dorm laundry, I was elbows-deep in post-grad research."

Interviewer: "Any social consequences?"

Luminous: "Let’s just say no one throws a 'Congratulations on Defying Average Graduation Timeline' party in the cafeteria. I was the human calculator teachers paraded when inspectors visited. The other kids? They’d stare like I was a telescope—interesting to look through, but not something you talk to."

Interviewer: "And your parents?"

Luminous: "Vieren and Penny Cosmatos. Poster children for 'gifted kid factory settings.' Dad—quantum physicist, stern as a singularity, always drilling me about commitment. 'Half-ass nothing, Orion. Not even a grocery list.' Mom on the hand was a accountant, kind, too kind, attempted way too often to understand the deep end of the stuff we talk about."

Interviewer: "What was the impact on your development?"

Luminous: "You ever had someone dissect your childhood science fair projects with peer-review standards? Yeah. Meanwhile Mom—[voice softens]—she’d sneak Milky Ways into my calculus textbooks because 'brain fuel.' Classic good cop/bad cop, if the cops were debating wave-function collapse at dinner."

Interviewer: "No siblings?"

Luminous: [abrupt silence, then...] "None that survived."

Interviewer: "Clarify that last—"

Luminous: [overlapping] "—Moving on. 

Hiss. Audio cuts mid-syllable.

Subject: Affective Bonds Audit
WARNING: Reincarnation anomalies detected in emotional profile.

Interviewer: "Direct question: Have you ever been in love?"

Luminous: [long exhale, almost a laugh] "You already know the answer. I've picked up on the clues of these survey... These are for filing purposes. You, your nicety has started deteriorating a while ago, turning extremely formal, You think I wouldn't notice? heh."

The interviewer seems to skip over the entire second half of what luminous says.

Interviewer: "We require verbal confirmation."

Luminous: [voice low] "Yes. Lania."

Interviewer: "Define the relationship."

Luminous: [tape distorts, then clears] "She was... home. Not a place. Not just a person. Home. The kind you carry in your ribcage." [sharp intake of breath] "And I cracked it."

Interviewer: "Would you like to elaborate?"

Luminous: [wet chuckle] "What’s the point? You’ve got the files. My journals, you have it don't you? The screams—" [audio cuts abruptly, then resumes at lower volume] "—I still hear her sometimes. Not memory. Not hallucination. Echoes. Like light from a dead star."

Interviewer: "Do you believe she’ll return?"

Luminous: [whispered] "The universe owes me. After what it took—after what I took—" [metal screeching in background] "She has to. Or none of this was worth it."

Interviewer: "Define 'this.'"

Luminous: [suddenly lucid, cold] "Signing. The scars. The voices. These... Games. The bleedthrough..."
