*Several of the streams exit the premises, and the program rapidly runs step-by-step through the error conditions, function stacks, arguments, and corresponding code locations, settling on the phrases "Warning: could not connect to corollary runtimes Purge01_01, Purge01_03, Purge01_04. Results may be incomplete." in yellow and "Debug analysis complete. Echo digest?" in green*

@Webmaster

Hm. See? Wasn't so bad.

*My finger lingers over the “Yes” button hesitantly for a few moments, and then presses down*
If you say so.
*The prompt rolls up like a scroll and the ribbons of data emerge in the same way they initially entered, flying out in all directions*

@Webmaster

*Steps back a few steps to take in the whole view of what's happening all at once

It helps you figure out what triggered a bug by analyzing what made a process crash.

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

My fear is that something is planted in the debugger that we don’t want to run.

@Webmaster

We'll work through it. We need to figure out a way forward though, and as of now we don't have another way.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

I see... so the only remain question is—

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

—do we let this thing run its debug process?

@Webmaster

What do you think would be the alternative?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

But I’m sure you can do it easily from your abilities. My sister takes advantage of cheating all the time.

@Ignacious

There are ups and downs to it, even if you're good.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Nope, nothing in that level of detail. How did that turn out?

@Webmaster

Couldn't find any results, really. All purged.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

What do you mean?

@Ignacious

Cutting corners ain't always cool.

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Maybe between the two we could find some semblance of a source. Anything else in there?

@Webmaster

They tested it on viruses, did you pick up that from your end?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

It’s the full program, but it’s compiled. Debugging symbols help a lot, but it would take some effort to reconstruct the original.

@Webmaster

I could recover fragments before. Far from complete, probably farther from complete than it isn't.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

It sounds like makeshift version control to me. Do you have a copy of the source code so we can compare them?

@Webmaster

Bits and pieces. Is 02's incomplete as well?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

What kinds of details do you have? You said this is the second iteration?

@Webmaster

That's what I'm inferring. I can give you what I copied. The stuff I read about before helping Rhythm out was just called "Purge01". Unless you think tacking the underscore-zero-two at the end means something else?
