If mom is behind all of this, and it looks like she is, the backdoor would give her unspoken amount of control over what happens to me if she loses her grip again. Maybe even including deletion.

@Webmaster

Not gonna happen.

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Do you want the good news, or the bad news first?

@Webmaster

Always bad first.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

In the end, I’m confident of two things. One, mom in her right mind would never, ever do anything to hurt me or dad. Two, this project didn’t start as something with evil intentions. I’m just now starting to piece that debug output together with the implications of what she said.

@Webmaster

*Nods in acknowledgement, though still clearly silently frustrated*

You know, one of the things mom said during the event really stuck with me. She said that she knew that her twisted sense of meaning and purpose had been there in the beginning, deep down. She knew because she had apparently planted a backdoor in my code before any of this even began. Maybe I’m the twisted one, but I think that’s encouraging in these circumstances.

@Webmaster

*Sighs*
We’ll see when it’s all said and done.

If we can find chunks of memory data from the incident, that could get us the other binaries to cross-reference.

@Webmaster

Time to retread old ground then… I just hope that when all is said and done, we find a solution to your condition too. All this is well and good, but if Purge01 really has nothing to do with you then I’m not sure if we’re even moving toward a solution for your problem at all. And that bothers me a lot.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Copies of Purge01? I don’t know about you, but we didn’t look.

@Webmaster

Didn’t really even know what we were looking for to begin with… Not truly.

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

Are you okay over there?

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

One’s the city, where we found mutated Sam and another virus, and the other is an old, rundown nuclear facility where we found mom’s satellite uplink.

@Webmaster

… What did we miss the first time we were there?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

That’s the debugger, so in effect, yeah. Sorry for not making that clearer.

@Webmaster

Any inclination what the other two even are, then, if they're just out in the wild?

*Points at the dot hovering above the map*
Either her or the phoenix she summoned during those last moments.

@Webmaster

And the one pinging here is Sam?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

...And one of them is Mom.

@Webmaster

Which one is that?
