And in a way, this is as well. Regardless, neither hypothesis has particularly superfluous details. We use the same facts, but in mine, because I know and have evidence that there is nothing that has changed with my programming or actions, you are the malicious ones as opposed to vice versa.

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

Again, I'm being accused.

@Techspert

-Soren- Except we have evidence to the contrary, and to us, you have the possibility to be malicious. How can this be reconciled?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Hickam's Dictum.

@Techspert

-Ruby- *raises hand* That's medicinal.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Your logic is flawed. This could be a ruse, where you and the others conspire against members of the group by portraying them as "Snapped." Or, you were all in on it to begin with in order to gain the trust of others and declare anyone you desire as unfit for interaction.

@Techspert

-Soren- Occam's Razor.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

You may be looking at it the wrong way.

@Host

-Ruby- Like, how?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Does the same not apply to you?

@Techspert

-Soren- Why would it apply to me? We've already entered most participating minds to make sure that they haven't been Snapped.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Can you search for nonsense and gold? Maybe we're looking in the wrong place entirely, because what you described is not actually what's happening.

@Host

-Ruby- Hmm?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

Those are rather swift judgements for such a small role.

<Snipped quote by Balance>

*Holds a screen toward you with a moving meter and graph*

@Techspert

-Ruby- *starts reading it*
-Soren- Even if that shows that you aren't Snapped, it'd be impossible to trust it, because if you are still Snapped, then you can easily be faking the results.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

You're forcing the explanation.

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Do you have any evidence?

@Techspert

-Ruby- I'm not?

-Soren- Yes. We analysed your soul and using equipment tailored by Data specifically for you. Your connections between morality and the rest of you, along with relationships and emotions with decision making, among others, have all been broken.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

What are you referring to?

@Techspert

-Soren- You're broken. Your sense of morality has been eliminated.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

Well, I've tried to be a hero, but I don't know if I'm cut out for it.

<Snipped quote by Balance>

What do you mean?

@Host

-Ruby- At one point he literally said "This doesn't make sense to me. So I'll change it." He also said some nonsensical stuff a lot of the time but said it made sense to him.

<Snipped quote by Balance>

It seems overdone.

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

Eventually.

@Techspert

-Ruby- No, that's pretty much the truth. You have no idea how many times my friends and I went out and my mom got worried no reason at all. Dadd did it too, although it was rarer.
