I do wish to warn you, if it does not work…I will end his suffering.
*my thrusters begin to charge up*
But it won’t come to that! First, we have to weaken him. Otherwise I won’t be able to break down the corrupted data that is mutating him.

*Catches your eye with a hurt expression for a moment, but then turns to Sam*
Getting through that wall of armor is going to be the hardest part of this. And if he can swing that scythe as quickly as the last virus, getting close might not be an option.

*looks a bit shocked and turns to Sam again. Staring intently then sighs, stances up with a determined expression*
It’s my duty to help, as such I will find a way. My kin are able to rewrite data to normal states. Here it may prove difficult, but it’s not impossible.

@Spiritblitz

What do we need to do?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

*has a concerned look and turns to Sam, taking a deep breath and exhales slowly*

@Spiritblitz

You fix stuff like this, right?
*Takes a close step toward you*
Are you able to help Sam?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

Save him?

@Spiritblitz

I... I don’t think I have it in me to delete Sam. He’s not evil. Whatever transformed him into this is evil.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

Oh. So these did come your mother’s lab?

@Spiritblitz

I don’t know if mom did any work on Sam’s project, but she did love the farm. Cure, we have to figure out a way to save him!

<Snipped quote by System>

*blinks*
Who?

@Spiritblitz

One of the domesticated viruses in the lab’s farm. He had lost his helmet’s mark thanks to a mutation, so they painted on a new one. A red one.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

*turns to the virus*
It looks like it was tagged on.
*turns back to you*
You recognize that mark?

@Spiritblitz

*Closes my eyes for a few seconds in thought before lurching them open*
That’s Sam.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

*recoils a bit then tilts my head*
You were spacing out, and what mark?

@Spiritblitz

*Frowns*
Sorry, you just caught me off guard. That red one. That’s not part of the virus.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

Hey, Tempo. You okay?
*waves my hand across your face*

@Spiritblitz

Hey! I’m fine!
*Pushes your hand away*
But I’ve seen that mark somewhere before...

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

*watching*
Very much so.
*looks at you*
These things were created, Tempo. This is way to complex for a random virus to be able to do. Though, I don’t know entirely how viruses act in this world.

@Spiritblitz

No, you’re right. But there aren’t enough pieces to figure out who or why.
*My vision lingers on the red marking for a moment*
