What about them?

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

If you're similar to programs, who is the programmer?

<Snipped quote by System>

We don’t have one.

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

Record End: Interesting. I take it you're somehow still connected to your uncontaminated parts?

Record: I had to sever these parts of you from the corrupted section. Having left a Self-End behind, I am unsure of what the continued situation is with your corrupted parts.

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

Surely something creates you.

<Snipped quote by System>

We don’t know, some may have speculations of what created us. But there is no definitive answer.

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

Are more not created over time?

<Snipped quote by System>

Yes. We are born, but not in a normal sense. We start as an egg in some place within the Digital World.

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

You could say that. They tried to sever me from the rest of her to prevent the full conversion, but they must not realize that we're still connected. Shouldn't be long before it's taken care of.
*Replacement parts appear around me, which slowly start self-assembling onto my body*

Pure Kat: Not only am I in pieces, but I'm losing control of everything! Did Mierno lose? Is everyone okay?

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

What creates the egg?

<Snipped quote by System>

Code in the space around it. It seems random, but I believe that its kinda like weather. It has some properties within the environment that affects it. We cannot predict it, but we can sense when it happens or is about to.

<Snipped quote by Abominations>

*Increases the amount of space around my wrist, causing it to close more slowly until practically frozen*

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

Has it ever been observed?

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Record End: Quaint. Let's finish what was started then. My true self will be glad we won't remember this next part.
*Another me exits from the wall, drags themself into non-dimensional space, and finds their way to the previous other me to merge with them. Meanwhile, Silver flames of isolation start radiating from my walls, both inside and out, eroding everything it comes into contact with.*

Record: *Blinks after the merge is over and quickly bends down to pick your parts back up.*
Can you maintain your own consciousness right now? We need to cut the connection with your corrupted self, and I only know of one place where that's possible. I'll fill you in on the rest once this is sorted.

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

*Your wrist is attacked from within the vortex by the projectiles that were launched out of them earlier*

<Snipped quote by System>

Yes, I have seen it. An egg is formed by code and data. Its like life is put together by nature into a single egg. Or two in my sister and I’s case.

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

Interesting. How different.

<Snipped quote by System>

Very different. There have been very rare cases that some of our kin were born within the tech outside of the Digital World.

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

How did that work?

<Snipped quote by System>

We have no idea.
