Maybe we’ll find something for you to blow all the excess energy on.

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Maybe, but I feel like I am handling it well right now. Just feels like I ate too much.
*pulls our a golden rhomboid that floats above my hand*
Is this the thing you are all looking for?

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

It sure looks exactly like the other thing we were also looking for, so I’d say that’s a resounding yes. Good job.

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

I wanted to try to save it, The Foreman I call it, as it was suffering. I thought I ended it our first encounter, but it survived and it spoke. I tried to get as much info as I could, but it let itself die to give us this…
*looks at the rhomboid*
It wanted us to save the plant, which I intend to.
*looks at you*
“Freedom through slavery. Slavery through freedom.” Is something it kept repeating. Mentioned when the server arrived, everything within changed. I think that server was Melody corrupting the plant, but I don’t want to make bold assumptions.

You sure it wasn’t me downloading a backup through my temporary local network? Because I did do that. Maybe like, two minutes before you did your thing.

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

What?

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

He was trying to escape into my backup, I think. Leaving one prison for another. “Freedom through slavery, slavery through freedom”? That’s what he was saying? It lines up.

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Maybe he did leave, and the original entity was free from corruption. It seem he was holding on to the program? This was within him. Protecting it maybe? I, I don’t really understand all of this and how the cyber world works, forgive me.

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

Living cyber worlds are foreign to me too. Way different than just a normal working computer.
*Puts the black box away*
But that said, I’d also take his words with a grain of salt. That was a really long time to be radiation exposed, and he was probably just as messed up on the inside as he was on the outside.

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

This seems clean to me, just from my analysis of it… I don’t like how he survived our first encounter…
*seems to be sullen thinking back*

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

You were familiar?

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

He was one of the viruses we encountered when Tempo and I were aiding against the kaiju-like viruses.

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

That’s unfortunate. But it’s definitely over now.

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*nods*
You’re right.

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

…
You said you promised it you would protect the facility?

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

…
You said you promised it you would protect the facility?

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

No better way to protect it than for it to live on through the much better forms of energy that came later. In memory only.

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

I can handle some radiation, even more than Isaac. Since he is a human.

<Snipped quote by Server>

Why?

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Yes, why?
