As far as I'm aware, whatever it is is already within him.

@Legend

But nothing to distinguish where it came from, what it might be, anything?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Galaxy Raider>

If it's any consolation, she's fairly contained in her Territory. But I agree with your assessment. As for Shinji, I don't think it's literal possession, but it has the same kind of effect.

@Legend

Are there any details about it?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Galaxy Raider>

I'm told Misty has always been like that, and I assume nobody is there to reel her in when it gets worse. Shinji on the other hand is taken over, effectively.

@Legend

I hate to say it about someone’s family member, someone who many care so much about, but I think Misty is a time bomb. The nature of her being makes her nearly impossible to monitor, let alone reign in, and it’s only a matter of time before one of her drastic acts has dire consequences. And what do you mean Shinji is taken over? Like, possessed?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Galaxy Raider>

Not so much betrayal for them—I'm somewhat confident they just go crazy. I don't have a date to place on that, but it happens after the System transition.

@Legend

No known cause?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Galaxy Raider>

You tell me. Shinji becomes someone else entirely.

@Legend

So when they “lose it”, do they betray us too?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Galaxy Raider>

When it comes to it, yes. If it's worth knowing, Shinji and Misty both completely lose it in the future.

@Legend

Have they not already? I co sider them both pretty unhinged.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Galaxy Raider>

No, but I need to be extremely careful. One misstep and I change the future enough to disappear but not enough to prevent it.

@Legend

So are you wanting me to keep an eye on Data?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Galaxy Raider>

I appreciate that. I'll do anything to stop that System from ever existing in the first place.

@Legend

So is that all you know?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Galaxy Raider>

I don't expect you to believe me right off the bat. I don't even ask that you do; all I want is for you to not discount what I'm saying.

@Legend

I like to try and never discount any information. No matter how outlandish.

I don't have all the details. But I do know that Data is going to betray you.

@Legend

*Raises an eyebrow*
Well, surely you can understand my immediate skepticism.
