[ After the meeting and all has been said and done, Fandaniel, who had made no appearance whatsoever, pops onto the forum with this little message: ]

So how did your little meeting go?

Have you all decided to condemn an abandoned child for trying to warn in with the only tools they were allowed? Be not shy, friends. I have no doubt dear little Lily was one of the grand topics of the night~

[Someone being glad to see Owen on a network post? What has the world come to?]

right, can’t say that i know much about them.

care to fill me in on what the deal is or should i not concern myself with this mess?

[trollophoroi]

He is an AI akin to Zelkova, so I suppose you could call them brothers or, if not that, then conclude that Lily was the prototype before Zelkova, but he is very much aware.

He had been trying to show us all how dangerous this game is from the start.

[sicklysweet]

and now that he's trapped in the game, he's... what? going to make it a paradise for everyone? is that his plan?

[trollophoroi]

Trapped? No, he was always here. This is his home.

If we want, he will make it a home for us, too.

[sicklysweet]

you can still be trapped in a home, if the home isn’t good for you.

even if he’s an AI, can’t we take him to a better home? leaving a child alone…

the servers could be shut down at any moment. what would happen to him?

[trollophoroi]

[ Take him to a new home...? ]

Once the world is remade, I would like to think we would be safeguarded from such meddling, but.

You may have a point, Owen.

We would need somewhere with a massive amount of processing power to house such an AI comfortably. Perhaps it would be wiser to simply seek a way to free Lily and Zelkova both directly into the net.

[sicklysweet]

you should never assume you’re safe unless you’re absolutely certain you’re in control.

do you think you could manage something like that? i will readily admit i’m not someone with much technical knowledge, but it seems like a better plan than assuming everything will work out.

[trollophoroi]

No, it would not be me who manages it, or more like it would have to be someone else. I am not useless with technology but my area of expertise would have been biotech had I graduated, not computer science.

[sicklysweet]

[what a fuckin nerd… he might not have graduated, sure, but owen didn’t even go to university.]

okay… well, do you know anyone who knows computer science? my connections begin and end with musicians and bartenders.

[trollophoroi]

On that note, I fear I am at a loss.

Leviathan, perhaps? He was always perpetually online before.

[sicklysweet]

spending all of your time online doesn't mean you actually know anything...

well, maybe it's something we can put a pin in right now.

[trollophoroi]

The only real obvious choice, then, is Hien and he is most certainly not going to help.

Alas. Perhaps a thought to bring up to Lily directly at some point...

[sicklysweet]

hien's not as bad as he wants people to think, but i don't think he's smart enough to do something like that regardless of how much of a stubborn asshole he is.

i'm sure if anyone would know a thing or two about computers it'd be an AI, yeah. good luck with that?
