*shakes my head*
I am not going to completely rebuild you in what I think you are thinking.
*places my hand on my chest and slowly pulls out a ball that has multiple bands of data that is spinning*

@Spiritblitz

Here's the memory data I have.
*Projects grainy footage of this morning in front of us*

Uncomfortable but necessary… Probably.

@GalaxyRaider

Yeah...
*Awkwardly side-hugs you*
We'll make it through this.

<Snipped quote by Session>

Of course you get a say, I am just letting you know that if you were to let me, I am going to rebuild you off of that memory data.

@Spiritblitz

Couldn't that... you know, kill me?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Session>

Sorry, but that is what I am going to do.

@Spiritblitz

No say in the matter for me?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Session>

It is. And while I can justify it by saying “Well, not the first time”- because it isn’t- I still don’t like the timing of it. All of this is happening at too convenient a time simultaneously, when so many people are at their weakest. It feels set up almost.

@GalaxyRaider

It feels deliberate. But I also feel like that's probably an illusion. Doesn't make it feel better.

<Snipped quote by Session>

*nods*
I just need to rebuild you basically, and see what is missing or different.

@Spiritblitz

That's an uncomfortable way of putting it.

*whispers lowly*
Who is Big X and is it a bad thing his dad is gone?

<Snipped quote by Session>

Well, I will need a backed up you that was made prior to the events that caused the mess we are in.
*puts my hand on my chin*
Are there any logs of places you have been to?

@Spiritblitz

*Whispers back*
Heroes. And yes, it's his dad.
*Returns to normal volume*
I have a record of that. It's not perfect, but it could work in a pinch.

Objectively. We fixed the world’s problems and everyone’s still licking their wounds, and because if that my world is falling apart around me and there’s no one who’s around to help.
*Puts my hands in my pockets*
I wasn’t going to mention it here, when the mood was lighter, but now I really need to get it off my chest. My dad is missing, along with nearly half of his associates in the Big X.

@GalaxyRaider

Isaac, that's awful... I'm so sorry.

<Snipped quote by Session>

Data restoration is a more complicated process than just patching or filling with data that was previously lost. At least in my case on how I do it, but it is something I can do.

@Spiritblitz

What do we need to do?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Session>

You don't need to apologize for anything. It just means we have more fixing to do.

@Spiritblitz

Is there anything you think you can do, with your data restoration?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Session>

I don’t know if a lack of memory makes it easier, but I don’t like comparing the size of drawn straws or anything like that. It’s rough for everyone.
*Twirls my foot around in the dirt*
Things were supposed to get better after beating Nemid.

@GalaxyRaider

*Half smiles*
This still beats world-ending catastrophe.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Session>

*Opens my mouth, then pauses and sighs*
Maybe taking my mind off it is harder than I expected.

@GalaxyRaider

I know it must be harder for you than it is for me. It's your girlfriend you have to worry about.

*Digs through data archives, looking up every so often*
