My say in Melody’s behavior was... crude, I guess you could call it. I needed insurance to make sure someone would come around and wake me up.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

… Figures. It only made sense, but I needed to hear it from you. You can’t fathom how much I don’t appreciate it.

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

You nearly had Data rip me out once. Without that insurance, he might have succeeded.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Well we came to your aid. Can you at least mend that now? Consider it partial payment up front.

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

I don’t think I can. If I get rid of the blocker, you may decide to scrap me and live with the fact that the backdoor is there.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

You mean live with the fact that the same problem can happen again only with the potential for someone who’s less cooperative than you to be the one behind it? No, not even remotely viable.

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

If anybody can figure out how to use it. It’s not easy.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

I didn’t hear you say impossible.

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*Shrugs*
I’m not an expert in what’s possible.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

You’re not budging, are you?

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

I’ll do this for you, but I don’t think you’ll like it.
*Taps my fingers together, and both of them freeze again*
There, I removed it.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Wha- why? For what reason?

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Because I want to prove to you that I can, but I still need some kind of leverage.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

I promise you the backdoor is enough… You should know that pretty well I would think.

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

I also, well, I also don’t trust them. You’re thinking through this, but I don’t feel like they will.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

They trust me, though.

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

They’re scared and angry. They can’t help that, but it’s not good for me.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

We’ll need their help.

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

You two are good enough.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*Sighs*
Holding them hostage…
