They were. Forged Tempo physically accessed her hardware and inserted the Bug using his Relay Router. I assume the bug has somehow opened the way up to others.

@Soliloquy

It may be better to scrap her entirely in that case. It would solve the bug problem and wouldn't ultimately be much of a loss.

Thank you. The situation appears highly dangerous—Aero's body is severely malfunctioning. I believe, if I know the Net well enough, that that indicates a large-scale infestation.

@Soliloquy

Why aren't her critical systems airgapped?

Tempo's presence may be preferable. The Bug was summoned by a Forged Tempo—our Tempo may have the same attunement as the Forged version and could do better defeating the Bugs on a large scale.

@Soliloquy

I will send him a request. I doubt he cannot be interrupted.

I see. I would inquire further, but the situation is urgent. We require Tempo at the base, to extract a Bug from Aero's body.

@Soliloquy

I could delete it in his place if you wish.

Hello? Rhythm? Where is Tempo? *Lowers the phone and mutes it* I cannot help. Rhythm picked up. This will require my full attention. *Returns to the call*

@Soliloquy

He's doing research on another world. We determined that it would save more time to concurrently perform mutually exclusive research separately.

*Calls Tempo*

@Soliloquy

*Picks up*
Hello?
