[color=DD9C00]“Not like we can do anything about it.”[/color] Siegfried interjected.

His sister went off with Benkei in the corner, talking about something. Alex was going on about the glitch and now Alja was chiming in about her utter confusion with the glitch. Siegfried was training to be an electrician, not some kind of programmer. He wondered if anyone in his group had that kind of vocation to give any kind of insight.

[color=DD9C00]“We’ve just gotta ignore it and treat this as we would our world.”[/color] He added, as he eyed the denizens nearby. He sighed, [color=DD9C00]“Whoever is doin’ this is doing it from the outside. From the rea—[i]our world.[/i] Nothing good is going to come from us thinking about it.”[/color]

[color=tan]“That’s a question for someone who knows about the game.”[/color]

Sif looked over at their group that stood near the bar as it appeared Alja and Siegfried were talking about something. She wondered why Benkei had pulled her aside to talk about the game and the game breaking down in private but then again he probably didn’t want to make the denizens uncomfortable. He seemed pretty reasonable and considerate when his brother wasn’t involved. 

She thought about the techies who were in Japan as they scrambled to save their reputations. More than Atlas, Enos, and Aaginim died in-game after the glitch happened. As the death tolls increased they would most certainly have a legal fiasco on their hands. How many had died? Had they isolated the hacker’s code yet? Could they? Unshackling the system and protections in place to give the dream a ‘game-like’ environment seemed to be a huge thing to unravel and she was no programmer. She thought back to how Pariah Online boasted how it used “cutting edge” technology to create the perfect simulation fantasy game. How much of that claim was an exaggeration? Were they working with a prototype that the developers didn’t even fully understand? Such thoughts unnerved her.

She looked back to Benkei, [color=tan]“If you want answers, you’re going to have to find someone who is involved on the tech side of the game that happened to be logged in when the glitch happened.”[/color]
