<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

I’m done being a test subject. I’m not giving my soul up for an unfeeling piece of software.

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

You don’t have to. Are you going to help me?

@Meta

No matter what, you’re wrong about that. I know why you feel anger toward them, but what happened to you, doesn’t invalidate them.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

How can you stand there and agree with everything she says, except "oh, I still disagree in this one small area"? Her whole story hinges on her word on souls being true.

@Server

It doesn’t. Regardless of how she sees Melody, or what she thinks of you, Data still did experiment with souls, we know that. And Melody told us why she was having an identity crisis, and it matches up like a jigsaw puzzle with what she’s saying happened to her. You think that’s coincidence? This sucks. This all really, really sucks, and I don’t want it to be true as much as you do. But we’re never going to fix anything if we turn a blind eye to the things that hurt.

*For the first time, stares at you for several moments, thinking it through before finally speaking*
Don't let him touch mine.

@Meta

*Looks down*

Myriad Reality

*The armor falls away*
I don't intend to be her prisoner forever.

@Meta

… We can figure something out. My- my Dad has an ability involving souls…

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

So you agree with her?? You think I’m not actually alive?

@Server

No, I don’t agree with her opinions. At all. I’ve already expressed as much. But in terms of this being the result of Data’s experimentation? Does that really even sound too out of character for him? Can you really think that?
*Pauses*
Besides, I need to help you get better…

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

I can do better than that. You can also have Melody back, at least for a while.

@Meta

“For a while”?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

None of the important parts! Everything about souls and programs, all of it is garbage! There’s no way that’s mom, and she doesn’t know anything about me.

@Server

Your mom is still your mom, no matter what she thinks about what happened to her. And you are still you. But despite opinions formed by experience, I can’t imagine any lies about the events she describes specifically.

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

If I can use it, you know I can give you the keys to it. Removing it isn’t much harder.

@Meta

And you won’t continue to lord it over our heads after this would be done? You’d stick to your word?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

So there’s the trade offer. I’ll remove the backdoor if you help me remove that horror show.

@Meta

How do I really know you can actually do it?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Who cares how they did it? Are you hearing the kind of stuff she’s saying??

@Server

How much of what she’s said hasn’t made sense?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

The place you and Melody both joined together to save a city. Soul Purge’s beacon woke me up.

@Meta

Mm…

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

She’s clearly insane! This is some kind of trick by one of Data’s enemies to take advantage of us.

@Server

That’s a bold thing to say. You think any of Data’s enemies have been tracking specifically our endeavors here in your home and waited until we were close to figuring out everything to step in? Seems like an odd thing for someone to do.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Forget that, you’re actually listening to her?? This is absurd.

@Server

Why wouldn’t I?

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

I’m not delusional about my limits. This is about as far as I can go right now.

@Meta

Groundwork set for expectations. I have to know, what were we going to find if we ignored you and followed the program’s beam?
