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?

@GalaxyRaider

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

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.

@GalaxyRaider

What's the purpose of the environment detection?

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

@GalaxyRaider

Really? What did they have in them?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

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

@GalaxyRaider

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

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by 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.

@GalaxyRaider

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

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

@GalaxyRaider

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

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

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

That can't be its sole purpose, right?

@GalaxyRaider

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.

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

So he was trying to replicate?

@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.

*gives you an annoyed expression*
I know that, Tempo. But why is it on the tablet and here?

@Ignacious

Sorry... I don’t know. It must mean that mom was working on it with Sam somehow. Maybe it’s what made him go out of control?

Why would there be a biological virus?

@Ignacious

You... erm, you do know that humans get sick, right?
