[IC] Myriad Reality

A result of an unexpected edge case, combined with a domain outside my expertise. However, this is fortunately only very difficult to reverse.

@Legend

Do you really think you can save her..?

@Legend

That's great! Impossible is impossible, but I've got a lot of experience working with very difficult.

@System

There is a much greater than zero chance of success.

Precisely. I ought to point out some caveats. Namely, that truly rolling a soul back to an earlier state is impractical. So an approximation of our objectives must suffice.

@Legend

Sure. I already had the impression that the ideal solution wasn't going to work out.

@GalaxyRaider

In any case, the optimal solution is likely to target this component.
*Spins and zooms into the large region distributing the malicious data flow across the soul*
If we manipulate her memory to remove all traces of the altered state, we should be able to purge the remainder of her soul without being set back.

@Legend

And to do that, we…?

@GalaxyRaider

Approach the situation delicately. Memory is tricky, but as a hybrid soul, Melody’s is much easier to parse than, say, a human’s. However, I need to determine when the change took place.

@Legend

Any way to “carbon” date it?

@GalaxyRaider

Not reliably. Memory is a tangled entity, and guessing would introduce unknowns to a system built from derived unknowns.

@Legend

Well, I think I can give you a time that it probably didn’t happen before. If that helps.

All approximations are useful.

@Legend

She wasn’t in a careless state at the very least during her contributions to fighting Nemid. She left the battle to try and save X after he was wounded. Not a lot of time has passed since then, so I would say it’s a safe bet that something happened after she left in those moments of extreme duress.

@GalaxyRaider

She mentioned something about that too, while we were there.

@System

Right. There’s not much else that I think could explain it.

@GalaxyRaider

Simple and short enough. I’ll erase all memories before the Nemid encounter. There may be some residual oddities, but that will enable corrective measures.

[Legend]

<Snipped quote by Legend>

@GalaxyRaider

Ah, forgive me for not elaborating. It’s simpler to target older, rooted memories. I can identify those and erase them from the model, and then use the model to mask operations on the actual soul, effectively inverting which memories were targeted. Then we begin corrective measures.

@Legend

That makes infinitely more sense. Yeah, sounds like a plan if I’ve ever heard one about fixing a soul… Which I haven’t, but still.
