Er... were they?

@System

Not really. But they did have interests and some flimsy info on your parents.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

What did you run into?

@System

We, ah... Briefly thought the mafia might be involved. So we raided one of their warehouses.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

You were both two steps ahead the entire time. I'd expect nothing less.

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

You made it sound like you'd put her in some kind of other environment.

@System

Well, we didn't get held up by combat, thank goodness... Well, mostly.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Okay, so that's invisible to me as well.
*The screenshot contains a marginally blurred image of the entity, but clear enough to pick up the deformed and deteriorating blobs of data that collectively make up the being*

@System

Yep, he was here as well. Right after Melody, before me and Rhythm. You two came last

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*It pulls up a screenshot and a mostly-empty record of associated data*
Do you see Rhythm’s name on there?

@System

It's in the access log, yeah.
*Looks at the screenshot while saving what bits of the record I can*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

She doesn't seem complete...
*looks at you*
And from what she said too, she doesn't sound complete. She is missing components of herself that makes her whole and your mother.

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Wait what?

@Spiritblitz

He wasn’t there. Was he there when you were?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*It contains Melody, a corrupted name, Rhythm, you, Cure, and me*

@System

I’m sure this is that guy.
*Taps my screen at the corrupted name*

*The library contains a collection of code bundles used to define and build viruses, along with scripts to auto-generate them*

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

I don't know if I like the sound of that. She's herself fully with us.

@System

*Goes back and checks the access log*

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

What happened to Tempo's father? Is he okay?

@Spiritblitz

We never saw him. Thought he was with Melody somehow.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Okay! I appreciate it...wait, did both of you visit the lab?

@Spiritblitz

Yes, but only the office.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*The terminal seems to contain data for a standard server installation, along with the customization features enabled, an access log, and a new data library full of viral code*

@System

*Scans the “new library” more in depth*

<Snipped quote by System>

Huh. Okay.
*looks to Melody*
She has gone through a lot. Finding out the truth about herself must’ve hit her hard.

@Spiritblitz

I’ll let you know if I find anything now.
