Yeah. Hien said he lost contact with CCCorp for awhile now. I don't know if it was immediate...but it's strange. If they were studying us, they would need someone to watch us. They're taking advantage, but Cubia is the one who wants us to stay, I think. But the others seem keen on believing otherwise.
Did Misteaks and Leviathan tell you anything they didn't say at the meeting?
Pretty sure he's got them wrapped around his pinky.
They both get really pissed and defensive where he's concerned. I think if we want to get them out from under his thumb, we're gonna have to deal with the root issue first.
But how do we separate them from Cubia? They wont listen to reason. They're doubling down or getting violent. Have you tried accessing Dismal Waning Descent?
Means well, but still an AI. I think he's definitely trying to help us, but I already told him off for hiding stuff from us before. He's still learning but right now, mistakes can cost us - badly.
he's still hiding things. but he doesn't want to influence our opinion I think? I asked him about the voice and he said he wasn't certain but
um
ok
zelkova is too secretive for our good and is making a lot of people mad because he hasn't communicated anything clearly, if at all. if he sees us as friends he needs to tell us something
[a beat]
maybe you should ask someone else to insult him. I don't have a core-thing but it feels bad to insult him...

Weird name though, isn't it?

Hani said they swapped hearts. Names. Cubia gave them his name, his heart.
He likes people in pain. Cubia wants people to suffer. The more in pain his "loved ones" are, the happier he is

...Well.]
Well.
Shit.
And the people he gave data drain to are the ones he loves?
no subject
it did make me wonder though
are we really stuck here just because of cccorp?
no subject
It'd make sense. Considering he wants us to stay in the game, too.

I think he's just putting up with it for his brother

Do you think either of them could be convinced that Cubia is bad news though?

Usually when there's a weed, you cut it out from the roots, right?
[Sometimes a
friendacquaintance gets taken advantage of and you gotta kill an AI. It happens.]And no, I haven't.

[Sinclair understands]
It didn't work for me. So we can only meet Cubia via invitation. But I really don't want him back in my head.

Speaking of do you think the cores are what Cubia is using to brainwash them?
no subject
Honestly? It creeped me out when it happened. But I don't think I've changed since I got it.
Have you noticed anything off about me?

Hmm.
Try insulting him.

Well, you tried, I guess.
Maybe imagine you're talking about someone you hate but replace the name with Zelkova? I don't really get the impression that logic matters here.
no subject
"zelkova is a horrible manipulative person, who has inflicted massive trauma on too many people in this game."
well?
