This doesn't make what information Matoba can offer worthless; Mithrun knows that even as Macha, he had some few useful things that for wrenched out of him. But it does mean Matoba's too far gone to know he's being used; at least, that's how Mithrun sees it. )
Fine. But you're going to tell me your name, too.
What kind of data do you want?
( He's not happy about feeding data to Cubia through 0koto, but he hasn't fully graduated from that same fallacious thinking he would've chimed Matoba for - that accomplishing, or learning, something better than nothing. Hypocrisy isn't easy to cure. )
[Haha, of course. The aggression was always so endearing. He considers what he might tell Mithrun- what he'd be willing to trade away this early in exchange for his data.]
[Well. Depends on how good the data is, doesn't it?]
You've forgotten? I guess that makes sense. Macha is dead, after all.
Call me Magus. In the virtual world, there is no true creation, no true survival, and Cubia can only destroy. Nothing can propagate in this barren place.
Come to the @ home of Telophoroi. I want to observe further. But if you're just going to get in my way, don't bother.
( He doesn't recall the identity of each phase, but he does recall each duty by name, at least. Propagation... Frankly, Macha had considered his task difficult, given how many happy couples there were in Fragment (for some reason); procreation and preservation, though? That seemed like a fool's errand. Unless...?(??????)
He can't be sure if it's that simple, but he has enough information to work with to consider if it's worth the trade. And, ultimately... yeah. The principle of indirectly feeding Cubia at all aside, Mithrun doesn't care too much about what he might be trading here for the chance to gain something relevant.
Besides, maybe he'll have the opportunity to kill Matoba after he goes mum. )
I'll be there. If you want to verify that which you've been tasked to observed is impossible, I don't have particular reason to deny you. Not as long as the trade is fair.
[Mithrun could go either way as ally or enemy, he thinks. He's difficult and fickle; his actions are too weighted towards his biases. He won't go along with a plan even if Matoba has the same practical intentions as he does, simply because of his grudge towards those tainted by Lily's influence.]
[Fair enough. But he doesn't intend to allow him to interfere.]
Despite what you seem to feel about my dealings outside of you, I have only ever intended to be fair towards you, Mithrun.
Nothing has changed, either before, or after,that failure's intervention.

[Maybe at one time, it would have meant something. At a time when he could use it, or at a time when it would have meant something to him. Not now.]
I don't want your information.
I want your data.
