I'd hope I'm not about to do anything stupid at all.

@Etcetera

We all have our aspirations.

Which is why I can’t just call it outright foolish. I agree... Not about Machina specifically, I’ve never met her. You know what I mean.

@Multifarious

Yeah, I feel you. Data's not about to do anything that stupid though.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Just have to wait and see, then. She was biased because of being upset about a dude killing her mom, though. Which I do think she went well overboard over, but it’s not like I don’t get it.

@Multifarious

Can't really blame her for that one. If someone hurt Machina, I'd shred 'em.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Does that note mention anything about you being related?

@Multifarious

Yeah, that's in the gushy stuff. But I dunno if it really counts as being related when she doesn't exist yet. If she ends up existing.

She just ran out of time, I’m guessing. This cloaked person was there, but I don’t think they had anything to do with that, just her getting into the lab in the first place. We’d been going back and forth about principles and whether it was right to kill past Data for something he didn’t do, but in the end, I think it’s just because I was the only one there.

@Multifarious

Well that's easy. It's not right to kill any Data because Data's an alright kinda guy.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Now that sounds like a story.

@Multifarious

Oh yeah, it was. So how did presumably beating and disappearing this time traveler convince her to trust you with this thing? She didn't know future me very well if she thought I'd just be cool about that.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

This is all so recent that it still has me exhausted, and thinking about a lot. Singularity reached the point where she thought she killed Data, and I ran with it as her time in our timeline was running out. She poured her heart out to me and asked me to make sure you got that.

@Multifarious

*Makes a face*
I hate time shenanigans. Let me tell you, the last time someone messed with that kind of stuff around me, Time Line nearly got his face smashed in by a river monster.

Long short is: Navigated through security measures, learned they were tampered with, got to the end, big reveal of who’s responsible, fight, blood, sweat, tears, end.

@Multifarious

*Raises an eyebrow*
There better be a video or something, because this rendition has zero pizzazz. How'd you go from fighting someone to getting this letter?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

You live and you learn. Of course, it ended up turning much more complicated as time went on. Y’know.
*Nudges my head toward the paper*

@Multifarious

Yeah, how'd you get to this point?
*Waves the paper*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Effectively.

@Etcetera

Told you it was a bad idea, with as often as you get yourself hurt.
