<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Mhm! That's for me, what about you two?

@Vacare

Lily: Gio likes the girly drinks.
-Hey!

[GalaxyRaider]

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Because it's all the same! Why do I care who lives or dies? I don't want this, and I don't want to want it either! But I don't want you here, and I can't justify stopping it!

<Snipped quote by System>

If I'm subhuman, then I'm a slave. If I'm superior, then they mean nothing to me. I'm clearly not an equal.

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

Yes, I caused it.

@Webmaster

*Slams my hands down on the podium*
You people! You guys put so much stock into what you are rather than who you are and it doesn’t matter like that. You’re still people!
*Walks a couple paces from the podium with my hands on my head, turning quickly between you and the door*

@Nimda

*I chuckle*

Well, if you want a mixed drink, you could just say.

@Webmaster

You even did it to Sam, your favorite one.

@GalaxyRaider

*Looks confused at the terminal*
I... didn't run this before. What's going on?

@Spiritblitz

It's all just data, in the end.

We... we already shut it down...

You tell me!

@Vacare

I'll have you know I take only the finest drinks available.
Lily: Like the ones with the strawberries, right?

@Webmaster

I fixed him though, even if he was a virus….
*turns to Tempo*
Have there been cases where viruses have been turned to normal programs or released from their virus status?

@Webmaster

We either way, that plant has been shut down.

You tell me!

@GalaxyRaider

I wish I could!

@Spiritblitz

*Flying viruses materialize in the area*
Fine. Then today will end up worse than it was before.

@Webmaster

Even if you don't love me...
*Clenches my fist*
What about the viruses you devoted your life to studying??

Ask her. She should know.

@Webmaster

Sure doesn’t sound that way.

@GalaxyRaider

*Shakes my head*
I don't want any of this... I want people to remember the light I once shone! The illusion, not the ugly truth!

@Webmaster

In your studies, have you found ways to fix viruses? To make them go against their programming?
*gets in a stance*
Cause Sam is one who I’ve met who hasn’t attacked us in his normal state.

@Spiritblitz

"Fixing" them is the same as changing the algorithm. You make them slaves of this instead of that—nothing really changes.

@Webmaster

If that’s what you want to remember, then keep being what you want people to remember. Nothing is forcing you to change that except this illusion that knowledge of what you are actually means anything to who you are.

@Nimda

Ah yes, perhaps you'd like some milk and whipped cream in it too.

@Webmaster

No, it's NOT just data! It's not a lie! How could you do any of this to Rhythm and me? To all the people who love you, and you loved back? What happened to that? It was real! How could you do this to the people who came all this way to save you just because they cared about us?? HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO SAM???
*Launches forward, cleaving apart any viruses in my way*
