So it’s some sort of extra life?

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

So, there’s this other piece to it that I don’t fully understand that sort of seems to act that way? I think it’s closer to the kind of virus humans get, but much more tame.

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

Why would there be a biological virus?

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

You... erm, you do know that humans get sick, right?

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

*gives you an annoyed expression*
I know that, Tempo. But why is it on the tablet and here?

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

Sorry... I don’t know. It must mean that mom was working on it with Sam somehow. Maybe it’s what made him go out of control?

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

So he was trying to replicate?

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

It seems you did! Are you hungry?

<Snipped quote by Server>

Oh huh.

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

I can tell.
*pouts*

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

That’s the other part that I can’t quite figure out. This program replicates itself, but not what you install it to. Like, let’s say that you installed this and incorporated it into your programming. Then when you tried to remove it, it rebuilt itself.

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

Not entirely a good thing. Don't worry; it's a good sign that you're not.

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

That can't be its sole purpose, right?

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

I would say about four fifths of it is dedicated to detecting certain aspects of the install environment. A tenth is dedicated to removing anything it considers foreign to that environment, and the last tenth is restoring something close enough to what was originally there, or what the program thinks should be there. Including itself.

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

An attempt at some sort of healing factor for digital entities? A push for immortality, even?

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

That part’s hard to say. These comments aren’t exactly... narrative. More clinical than I would have expected from mom.

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

I chalk that much up to just work. Not sure how familiar you are with her work side of her life, but I don't find that awfully surprising.

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

I never followed very closely until now. You could be right, it’s just off-putting for me.

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

Just based off that alone, I wouldn't worry about it.

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Did you find any records during your search that looked like they could be talking about this kind of work?

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

I found records talking about exactly this line of work. The previous iteration, based on the name. "Purge01".

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Really? What did they have in them?

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

Sounds like I did make it farther than you all did then. From what you described, and what I skimmed, a lot of the same information but with less of the holes filled in.
