They live on the moon??

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

Why even ask that question??

@Nimda

Cause your reaction.

[Nimda]

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Cause your reaction.

@Galvanize

That was such a weird thing to ask!

[Spiritblitz]

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

Right... so... the terminal?

@System

Yes, how do I pull it up?

@Nimda

My bad, it was a lame joke anyways.

@Spiritblitz

*Taps at a spot that pulls up a holographic screen*
I can help, but it may lead to corruption that you’ll need to repair.

[Audacious]

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Alright. So you met this guy—what happens next?

@Nimda

Right, right. We talked, then ended up parting ways there. Nothing too complicated, but like I said, apparently it was expected that I know better. A bunch of adults that were nice to me before immediately returned after he left and started harassing me and yelling at me. I don’t think I ever cried harder, on the way home that day.

@System

That’s fine. I can do that.

Sun. Son.

@Spiritblitz

*Nods*
Okay. Let’s do this.
*Holds my hand to the terminal, which induces random beeps and corrupted text, followed by several restart sequences*

@Audacious

That’s awful!!

@Nimda

It was. All the growing up hearing about how terrible the outside world must be, yet the worst I have ever been treated was definitely by my own people that day, and for a couple years following. But, maybe it was for the best, you know? Because in the end, it had the exact opposite effect to what I think they expected.

The tall robotic man had been wandering for some time now. He was Intrigued In the place after all. He found a local building and walked Inside. He found himself Inside what appeared to be a small store so, He looked for something to buy.

**my eyes glow white and red and white, fire-like data flows on my skin as I interact with the text and closing off the sequences*
What happened to this?

@Spiritblitz

Glitches. It causes random power failures to force important bits to flip... if we’re lucky.

@System

Okay, that will be a problem. I’m gonna have to purge the bigger ones and replace them with adaptive code to reduce the chances of any interruptions.

@Nimda

And what was that?

@Galvanize

I thought it over. After meeting the guy and only receiving bad treatment from some of our own, I ended up deciding that either the info everyone had been taught for so long was either outdated, plain wrong, or worst case scenario, just not entirely true. I started arguing with people all the time about it, from my peers and students, to eventually my parents and teachers. For several years, I got into a lot of trouble for defending what I had believed in, but the scholar had never truly left. He kept coming back, offering us bits of forgotten history about the Elements and the things tied to them, which eventually changed the opinion of him from outright hate and resentment to reluctant toleration. At least with the government.

@Spiritblitz

I can stop the glitches as soon as we get in. It might be unstable once that happens though, which is where your help will be invaluable.
