"In the instance you mentioned of us 'being defensive', we were asking for further elaboration, as well as stating that our answer to your previous request: "In return I ask that You help me understand how far this is going to go on." would require such elaboration to properly understand.

As for the information about us and our goals you requested: There are a variety of motivations among us, but the key one is entertainment. Specifically, deriving entertainment by ensuring the continued survival and well-being of the current group of Dreamers: Lucas, Garreth, Lexii, Emily, Lucia, Alice, Derrick, and associates. Another subgoal of immediate note is playing matchmaker and seeing certain relationships come to fruition, but that's far less important."

>Alice: I apologize in advance on behalf of a very small, but excessively vocal minority among us. Some of them appear to be standoffish for reasons unknown to myself. I suspect it's a case of innate paranoia and a distrust of those outside of current informational awareness. They will settle down once they get used to talking to you. Their paranoia and is not rational, and as such, although I do not normally, will speak to avoid a botching of this social encounter. I consider it viable to establish a working relationship. I suspect that the others will realize such once they observe positive interactions. Do not pay excessive heed to the voices of the excessively hostile or paranoid, they do not speak for the majority.

>Alice: Regardless.To answer your question. Our present priority goal, as we have been instructed, is to keep all Dreamers in this session alive and unpossessed until whatever constitutes the 'end state.' Secondary and tertiary goals are variable depending on the individual in question. My secondary would be 'observe interesting sequences of events and interactions.' Hence why I don't normally commune and instead watch.

Allright, well, it's trying to get the upper hand so eff that. We need to make one thing very clear to it:

>We just witnessed you try to manipulate Lucia in killing one of her friends so you can posses them. You also just inadvertently admitted you care about nothing and nobody except this pet project of yours. Speaking for myself, it seems to me you've utterly lost your grip on what's Real and what's not,  so infatuated with your own power. How many times have you stolen some young child's life only to return here and do it all again? A wise man once said that the definition of madness is doing the same thing over and over again while expecting different results. You want us to be more courteous? Fine, I have no trouble being referred to as an "ancient one" regardless of how true your assertion that you already know of us might be. However, it would also be polite on your part to introduce yourself with a name.

>We just witnessed you try to manipulate Lucia in killing one of her friends so you can posses them. You also just inadvertently admitted you care about nothing and nobody except this pet project of yours, so you'll forgive us for not trusting your words. How many times have you stolen some young child's life only to return here and do it all again? A wise man once said that the definition of madness is doing the same thing over and over again while expecting different results. We should endeavor to be courteous towards each other however, so to that end I personally have no trouble being referred to as an "ancient one" regardless of how true your assertion that you already know of us might be. However, it would also be polite on your part to introduce yourself with a name.

[Downvoting. We need to work together and be coordinated, not preemptively undermine coordination or threaten UE. This is a hostage situation after all. None of us want this to go poorly, but we get nowhere  without working together]
[Edit:
This version of the command is still too hostile. Remember, we are in a hostage situation, and so far it looks like only a single command is getting through to UE. Imagine negotiating on the phone with the police, and asking for a straight answer, or else you'll hang up, and suddenly you start getting threats and hostility]
