Gain you do not recognize or see is still gain. The core values that keep these secrets have kept Existence around for far longer than it would have otherwise.

@Magnanimity

I assume you can assure that there is greater gain to keeping that information concealed?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Just his association with the place and the Elements will suffice.

@Magnanimity

That information would likely be valuable to Existence's cause. You'd sacrifice that advantage for little to no gain?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Surprising. The man below’s presence here, then. All things linking him.

@Magnanimity

You'd like me to erase a man I did not meet here?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Everything involving individuals you don’t already know. That of myself and the man you briefly saw below.

@Magnanimity

You're the only individual I have no history with, to my knowledge.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Had you not, you and I would never have spoken.

@Magnanimity

What information would you like removed?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

To remove all ambiguity from the discussion, we’re clear that that includes that within your own mind.

@Magnanimity

Have I observed anything I ought to have ignored?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Containment is not sufficient. Information already lies in places it should not because of this incident. I’m sure you recognize where that is.

@Magnanimity

*Nods*
As I said, I'm interested in a single data point, which was calculated before the situation collapsed. Everything else will be eradicated.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

And if there’s an individual on the other end who is also taking data?

@Magnanimity

I'll assess the situation on a case-by-case basis. I believe that our objectives are synergetic in this case, and I'm fully vested in containing this incident.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

I will not be there. You need to make sure all information about this place that could potentially have been gathered because of the simulation gets totally erased. Be it by man, or machine.
*The sounds of one pair of footsteps walking laps around you can be heard*

@Magnanimity

The machine holds a single piece of data that I intend to retrieve. Everything else will be wiped beyond recovery.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

One could only assume that information on these simulations it creates are stored somewhere, no?

@Magnanimity

Not necessarily—it could be streaming information dynamically. I can provide you an in-depth diagnostics report once we reach the control center.
