To set the scene, we're investigating a space habitat that is basically deserted for all the wrong reasons and appears to have a rogue AI running amok in the network. We come across a researcher who apparently created the AI, and who is hiding in one of the habitat's modules. He seems to be rather stressed, and phrasing things slightly awkwardly.
In the introductions, he says, "It's very important that you not ask me any questions that I can't answer."
One of the other player characters immediately retorts, "How the [bleep] are we supposed to know what you can and can't answer?"
...
I note that this player was the same one who was making aghast complaints of "Why would you pull that lever!" at our low-impulse-control wizard in the previous game, after she excitedly pointed out to him the control lever for the repurposed-as-a-temple ancient flying machine that we were trying to unobtrusively escape from.
Oh, and what happened this time? Well, she got off lightly, I think; the researcher curled up in a catatonic ball for a bit, and the AI hacked through the security protocols on her transhuman brain implant and downloaded detailed memories of the researcher's entire history into her brain so she would know what he could and couldn't answer.
