Did the tests reflect that it actually accomplished that protection or restoration?

@Webmaster

The results of it were the thing I was able to find the least info on. So much of it was wiped, I really wish I knew.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

What's the purpose of the environment detection?

@Webmaster

Well, if the design intention is to act as a restorative and-or protective function, it would make sense if it was designed to try and see what it is trying to restore or protect, you know?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Really? What did they have in them?

@Webmaster

Sounds like I did make it farther than you all did then. From what you described, and what I skimmed, a lot of the same information but with less of the holes filled in.

Did you find any records during your search that looked like they could be talking about this kind of work?

@Webmaster

I found records talking about exactly this line of work. The previous iteration, based on the name. "Purge01".

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

I never followed very closely until now. You could be right, it’s just off-putting for me.

@Webmaster

Just based off that alone, I wouldn't worry about it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

That part’s hard to say. These comments aren’t exactly... narrative. More clinical than I would have expected from mom.

@Webmaster

I chalk that much up to just work. Not sure how familiar you are with her work side of her life, but I don't find that awfully surprising.

I would say about four fifths of it is dedicated to detecting certain aspects of the install environment. A tenth is dedicated to removing anything it considers foreign to that environment, and the last tenth is restoring something close enough to what was originally there, or what the program thinks should be there. Including itself.

@Webmaster

An attempt at some sort of healing factor for digital entities? A push for immortality, even?

Oh huh.

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

I can tell.
*pouts*

@Ignacious

Not entirely a good thing. Don't worry; it's a good sign that you're not.

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

That’s the other part that I can’t quite figure out. This program replicates itself, but not what you install it to. Like, let’s say that you installed this and incorporated it into your programming. Then when you tried to remove it, it rebuilt itself.

@Webmaster

That can't be its sole purpose, right?

*sighs as I jump down to you both*
Well, we got both now. You two made it seem easy though.

@Ignacious

I'm good at cheating, what can I say?

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Child of neon lights and overstimulation. May the net never change.

@Server

Sooo...?

Myriad Reality

I’ve always been a rebel, myself.
