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

@Etcetera

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

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.

@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.

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

@Etcetera

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

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

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

@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.

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

Perhaps. I’d like to investigate and resolve the issue once this simulation is shut down.

@Etcetera

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

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

I had not designed the system to take these measures. This is outside of the scope of its operating parameters.

@Etcetera

Yet the responsibility lies somewhere. Be it through parties maliciously manipulative... Negligent ownership... Or both.

Message received.

@Etcetera

*A few moments moment pass*
I hope you understand the trouble we've gone through on such short notice, with this machine of yours obtaining information it should never have been able to.

*After a moment, I gasp and drop the books I'm holding, which, along with me, move more and more slowly very quickly before coming to a total halt. The books never even hit the ground, and my person freezes staring at a person slightly in the distance, standing in the dark*

@Multifarious

Do not turn to face me.

Hmm... New strategy. Plouton, Orthrus, if you're that confident in you're sister's capabilities, then leave her here in your place. Take Isaac and make his presence hidden, and protect him. We can't lose him just as much as we can't lose the bomb.

@Multifarious

*Glances sideways at Isaac and doesn't say anything*
We are. We'll make sure it's done.
*Motions to Orthrus as we escort Isaac out of the room*

Don't you worry about a thing! I'll take them all down.

@Intrepid

Temper yourself, Raisa. Excitement can interfere with performance.
