I wish it didn't make sense.

@GalaxyRaider

I'm sorry. Your friend Melody never existed.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Wait, Data? You weren't talking about Melody?

@GalaxyRaider

*Glances to my left and takes a breath*
Alright, I knew showing you would be painful, but... I probably need to.
*Pink armor materializes and binds to my torso; my left iris turns blue with the word "error" circling around the pupil, and my hair turns blonde when bound with a headpiece*

Wait, Data?

@Webmaster

Data. My judge, jailer, and executioner.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Of course she wouldn't, if she's the one you're up against.
*Sighs*
After the incredible gamble I made trusting you, I wish we could drop the need for leverage. These backdoors are dangerous for them, especially if we're all going to be helping you.

@GalaxyRaider

Trusting or not, I know you're friendly with Data. I can't bet my entire people on you not getting cold feet.

I can think of many reasons why we should do that in the reverse order.

@GalaxyRaider

It's all the leverage I have. You can outwait me until I need to give this immune system a break, but Melody isn't going to help you. It's all I can do to prevent her from going haywire again.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

I'd wager to say the feeling is mutual.

@GalaxyRaider

Here's what I'll do: If you help me, I'll give you the keys to remove those backdoor permanently. I nudged along their creation, and the reverse is even easier.

Noble.

@GalaxyRaider

*Takes a deep breath, and then exhales*
I'm not a strong fighter. I don't have much strength. I have a little bit of leverage, and I need your help.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

And what are you going to do with that?

@GalaxyRaider

That's a better question than you think. I want to prevent this from happening to anyone like me again.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

The one whose name was mentioned already? We've been learning a lot recently.

@GalaxyRaider

But now that Soul Purge is working, I have time to roam this prison without my soul immediately being eaten by the net.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

I'm both sorry that happened to you, and sorry you feel that way. But why did it happen?

@GalaxyRaider

My village was executed by that mutual friend. I'm guessing you have an idea of who I'm talking about?
