<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Who cares how they did it? Are you hearing the kind of stuff she’s saying??

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Mm…

<Snipped quote by Server>

That’s a bold thing to say. You think any of Data’s enemies have been tracking specifically our endeavors here in your home and waited until we were close to figuring out everything to step in? Seems like an odd thing for someone to do.

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

So there’s the trade offer. I’ll remove the backdoor if you help me remove that horror show.

<Snipped quote by Server>

How much of what she’s said hasn’t made sense?

<Snipped quote by Meta>

How do I really know you can actually do it?

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

None of the important parts! Everything about souls and programs, all of it is garbage! There’s no way that’s mom, and she doesn’t know anything about me.

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

If I can use it, you know I can give you the keys to it. Removing it isn’t much harder.

<Snipped quote by Server>

Your mom is still your mom, no matter what she thinks about what happened to her. And you are still you. But despite opinions formed by experience, I can’t imagine any lies about the events she describes specifically.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

And you won’t continue to lord it over our heads after this would be done? You’d stick to your word?

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

I can do better than that. You can also have Melody back, at least for a while.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

So you agree with her?? You think I’m not actually alive?

<Snipped quote by Meta>

“For a while”?

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*The armor falls away*
I don't intend to be her prisoner forever.

<Snipped quote by Server>

No, I don’t agree with her opinions. At all. I’ve already expressed as much. But in terms of this being the result of Data’s experimentation? Does that really even sound too out of character for him? Can you really think that?
*Pauses*
Besides, I need to help you get better…

<Snipped quote by Meta>

… We can figure something out. My- my Dad has an ability involving souls…

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

How can you stand there and agree with everything she says, except "oh, I still disagree in this one small area"? Her whole story hinges on her word on souls being true.

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*For the first time, stares at you for several moments, thinking it through before finally speaking*
Don't let him touch mine.

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

Nobody here can. That’s all you need to know it’s a facade.

<Snipped quote by Server>

It doesn’t. Regardless of how she sees Melody, or what she thinks of you, Data still did experiment with souls, we know that. And Melody told us why she was having an identity crisis, and it matches up like a jigsaw puzzle with what she’s saying happened to her. You think that’s coincidence? This sucks. This all really, really sucks, and I don’t want it to be true as much as you do. But we’re never going to fix anything if we turn a blind eye to the things that hurt.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*Looks down*

<Snipped quote by Meta>

I don’t think I can aid in this conversation.

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

I’m done being a test subject. I’m not giving my soul up for an unfeeling piece of software.

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

You don’t have to. Are you going to help me?

<Snipped quote by Meta>

No matter what, you’re wrong about that. I know why you feel anger toward them, but what happened to you, doesn’t invalidate them.

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Melody is a straightjacket program, not an individual. It does not deserve my soul.
