I dunno, I think you could pull it off.

Worst case scenario, we'd have a new rainy-day fund.

And a lot of good karma.

@GalaxyRaider

Do you get karma from busting viruses?

[Audacious]

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Do you get karma from busting viruses?

@System

Just from doing good things. That definitely counts.

@Audacious

There are probably more valiant things out there than data deletion.

@System

It doesn't really matter how valiant it is, just how much goodwill it garners.
*Shrugs*
Not that karma is a real thing anyway.

We use karma as a unit of measurement.

Wait, really?!

@Audacious

Mhm. Does it mean something worse where you're from?

There's an idea of balance in the universe in some cultures, and it depends basically on how kind and selfless you are, basically. The more good karma you have, the more good things are destined to come your way, basically.

@Audacious

Sure, we use it in a similar way. It measures one's susceptibility to Dark Power.

@System

So it's similar but has like, a real, dangerous impact on people.

@Audacious

Right. Usually, it's not something to pay much attention to.

Isn't it contagious too, or something? When it happened before, it was like it was spreading or something.

@Audacious

No, your karma shouldn't impact anyone else's. It's more of a social contagion than it is an actual disease.

@System

Oh. Still not very fun though.

@Audacious

It's not. But Dark Power itself is mostly eradicated in our world, fortunately.
