My analysis is complete. Thank you to those who contributed.

I've come to the determination that Fragment is a failed experiment- just like our creator, Cubia. In the virtual world, nothing can truly be born. Humans cannot populate here. There is something "missing" from those created in this world that not even copying human experiences can provide. Surely, even "The Progenitor" knew that.

Failures can only beget failures. Therefore, I will correct this mistake.

Don't interfere.

hes definitely a phase now
kept asking me about passing on the lineage and all that several days back
but now hes a phase
a phase that cares about...
reproduction?
producing heirs?
MAKING BABIES?
SHIT I DONT KNOW
and hes going to "fix" this by trying to kill cubia?
?????????????????????
i always had the feeling that koto was more mentally resilient
but i dont get it

[gluttoning]

If he really is a Phase, his thinking isn't going to make a lot of sense.

Maybe he isn't completely gone yet? Maybe... that's the part of him that's decided on doing something.

[dissimulative]

i hope so too but
what if the phase AI ran into an error
and gathering the appropriate data was higher priority than the creator?

[gluttoning]

I can't really guess. All I ever wanted to do with my data was lash out. But when I felt confused and wanted to act against it, when I still felt like Misteaks and not Tarvos... that's when I tried to confront Lily. He forced me to change. Going against Lily was just not something I would have accepted after that.

That's why I wonder if Okoto is there, too. If he is, then I don't think Lily will let him get very far.

[dissimulative]

i dont think hes stupid
he must have known that
but to willingly do it
thats.......

[gluttoning]

Yeah. He thinks a lot.

I don't know what would have triggered him. When he talked to me, it sounded kind of protective in a weird way. Or... maybe he was just judging me. I don't know. He's hard to understand.

So maybe you're right about some sort of error or something.

[dissimulative]

what was he protective of?
you?
i mean
he does kinda give backhanded compliments sometimes

[gluttoning]

He told me he wanted me to make it to the outside world, and that even though he wasn't sure if he would have ever been able to help before, he could now.

He mentioned a flaw in survival instinct? And patching it out. And then he said he was going to handle "the progenitor" for me.

I thought he meant Harald because that's what Cubia calls him. But Okoto corrected me, and just told me I was too soft and that I needed to survive. That he was going to take care of him.

He wouldn't talk to me after that.

[dissimulative]

technically in order for a species to survive
they need to have offspring
thats a survival instinct
but you kinda cant do that here?
i think?
anyway
so if you cant reproduce
the survival instinct is flawed in regards to the offspring system only
therefore fragment is flawed and hes gonna do something about it??

[ is this the mpreg notice for a future patch?? Fear. ]

[gluttoning]

I


I don't get it

[He lost ya about halfway through that, buddy.]

[dissimulative]

he talked to me about continuing the family lineage
if you wanna do that
generally you need to have a biological child (traditional)
so if you cant have kids (biological)
you cant continue the lineage
so the lineage cant survive
or something
BLOODLINES AND SHIT

EITHER WAY
IN A WORLD WHERE WE CANT HAVE BIO KIDS
OF COURSE HES GONNA THINK IT SUCKS
THERES NO BABIES BEING MADE

[gluttoning]

[




Oh.

Okay he gets it now. Maybe.]

There's not really a way to fix something like that in a video game, though.





Is there?

[help]

[dissimulative]

well
lets hope we dont get to that point
bc it sounds like he wants to escape to the real world to collect more data on that
or ask cubia to patch it in somehow
and im incredibly not fond of the second one

[gluttoning]

Even if he did do the second one, we could avoid that pretty easily though, couldn't we?

[Abstinence would probably cause riots in the streets actually but don't tell Barrett that.]

I don't think he'd be willing to fight Cubia over something like that, anyway. And Lily can't let him into the real world.

[dissimulative]

thats where conflict of interest happens
and
as much id like to tell you
abstinence isnt happening
sorry to sully anyones eyes

[gluttoning]

Hm.

Yeah, I guess that is kind of a stress reliever for some people, isn't it?

[dissimulative]

yeah
anyway i feel like i still cant understand why hed go on his own like that
it would be one thing if he gathered enough power
actually what HAS he been doing

[gluttoning]

I don't really know. He always kind of keeps to himself anyway.

Even in the garden it was kind of rare to see him. I wouldn't really know where to start guessing.

[Other than this weird bloodline possibly nsfw trend which........... he is not qualified to talk about probably.]

[dissimulative]

with how its been so far
we will probably have to fight him eventually huh
cubia will probably do something to turn him against us
so even the shred of whatever he has left...
would be gone

[gluttoning]

Yeah.

We could hope that he remembers himself once the Phase weakens in our fighting, if it comes to that. But if he's already thinking like this? Like data is the only thing that matters?

I don't know if there's any hope for talking him out of it right now, even if we could find him.

[dissimulative]

[ Unfortunately, Oriade gets it. He gets why he's like that. But he's still pretty upset about this turn of events. They probably weren't "close enough", but he felt that Matoba was one of the few people who could understand a certain perspective.

...

Even if he can no longer remember what it was. And it's frustrating. ]

if its coming soon then i dont think i can go
as much as id want to...

[gluttoning]

I can't either. Not unless my leg heals before he emerges.

We'll just have to hope that whoever can go... that they can find a way to get through to him.

[dissimulative]

[ Oriade kinda doubts it because of how Matoba just is, but... ]

i wanna hope so too
i hope he wont die like uta did
so i will believe in the people who go for him

[gluttoning]

[RIP matoba for being so cryptic.... we must send nothing but cats in as our backup, clearly]

Yeah. It's all we really can do.

Are you down here in the infirmary somewhere?

[dissimulative]

yeah
still recovering
and people wont let me live it down if i get up and do things
why
