Then it’s agreement.

@Meta

I am in accordance with Isaac’s terms.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

So you’ll help too?

@Meta

I will…
*turns to you both*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*Doesn’t respond*

@GalaxyRaider

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*Sighs*
I still hate making enemies...

@Meta

*looks at Tempo and Rhythm up close with with presses lips shaped with a frown*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

Nobody here can. That’s all you need to know it’s a facade.

@Meta

I don’t think I can aid in this conversation.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

More importantly, do you really want to live in a world where you can manufacture souls?

@Meta

I-I don’t know? I’d figure that there are a few people who can do that.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

Do you really think Data would have converted over my soul, poorly, if there was a way to make a real digital soul from scratch? It's not possible.

@Meta

I have no idea what he is capable of.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

I mean, right?

@GalaxyRaider

I would agree with you, Isaac.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

She was only ever an unfeeling collection of programs that hooked into my soul like a parasite. Data used me to give those ones and zeroes the appearance of a soul, but she was no more alive—
*Motions to Tempo and Rhythm*
—than either of these two are. And faced with that reality, it's no wonder it couldn't recover from that kind of error state.

@Meta

*has a concerned look after hearing everything then looks at Tempo and Rhythm with empathetic sorrow*

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Now what in the world do you mean "no more alive than them"? Just because you all lack flesh and blood doesn't make you unalive. You're people.

@GalaxyRaider

…

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

*Without taking my gaze off the stranger*
No.

@GalaxyRaider

Oh.

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

*Huffs*
Long story...

@Meta

That’s not a good deal.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

They don’t—belong to you.

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

I need those programs.

@Meta

Why?

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

A trade... I’ll trade you answers.
*Steadies on arm against my thigh, and holds up my index finger on my other hand, projecting a translucent rhomboid crawling through a rotation*

@Meta

<Snipped quote by Meta>

You can have them when we're done.

@GalaxyRaider

Oh,
*looks to Isaac*
is that a pretty reasonable trade?
