SpRKL: I possess enough intelligence to be offended by your accusation. I was programmed by Data Stream.

Data is the very one doing this investigation with me. Will you allow an exception?

Myriad Reality

SpRKL: Please put away your weapon.

@Source

Unintelligent machine... Fine.
*Holsters it*
Who made you?

@Source

SpRKL, things are only weapons in the way you use them. I need to draw a little blood for the investigation. Right now, this is just an improvised medical tool.

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

I don't know why...

@Nimda

*Reaches to my hip and draws my handgun*
I hope you don’t mind if I test something.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

I don't bleed... my blood is too thick...

@Nimda

Because of him, right?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

All of my blood is black...

@Nimda

If you were to bleed right now, even a little bit, that would be enough to get his attention, right? Or, if I’m right, see if he’s even still there.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

Less than a day... At least this absent...

@Nimda

Say, when you used to bleed, did you used to bleed black?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

No...

@Nimda

I think I may be starting to get a picture for what’s happening. How long has he been “distracted”?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

...It's peaceful.

@Nimda

Is this normal?

*Whispers*
Ragnarok.
*Winces*

@Nimda

I see.
*Taps at the device on my wrist for a few moments, letting you settle, then tries again*
Ragnarok, I have a few questions for you.
