Nobody Gets Left Behind

[From the Temerity, it's hard to say what exactly is happening down in the convention center, but it's clear that there's some shit going down. Crowds of fans are streaming out of the building to stand around the docking area, kept away from the entrances and exits by the police - including a Turian and a little dog - as well as Max, Lightning, and Finn. Some people, especially the press, are giving up and taking to their ships to flee.

Amid all the chaos, it's not hard to land, pick up your escaping friends, and flee. It's better to take off now, because Kip is keeping an eye on where the others' PIPs are pinging from. It seems they've been moved to a different part of the nebula.

You've got a few minutes to catch up before he can get you over there. So what the fuck, dudes?]

[Does she look like she wants to talk about this right now she's already upset someone!

So she'll be very hesitant and speak quietly. So not to make anyone else mad.]

... She said... that the people you saw weren't acting right. And they're supposed to be comatose, right?

[misanthropicprinciple]

Yeah, but... I figured it could be hardlight, or... I dunno. I'm just wondering why you made that connection.

[everylittlesecret]

Church. If he's an AI that's so close to being a perfect human, and the other Champions are comatose in some guys version of Florida in that off shoot show-[Yes, she watched some Deadland while you guys were gone and it's awful]-it could be possible that they could make AI copies off of us. Or at least the Champions who were actually locked in those simulations. AI's can be then further modified for specific needs. They could make one of you that would literally have no memories of what actually happened to you but be molded into an actor who can act like those things happened to them.

[There she goes... rambling again...]

Though I don't see how they can copy someone like me into an AI without having a negative affects on my abilities.

[misanthropicprinciple]

[Well, assuming they're having this awesome conversation out of earshot of poor Jane...]

No, they could do it. They could do it the same way they faked Ardyn's bullshit--hell, it'd make more sense. If what you can do is actually a copy they pulled together some other way than how your powers would've worked in your original body, it'd make more sense you wouldn't notice a difference if you're not your original mind.

The hell-ass article was this, though? Just something you read on Space Yahoo?

I doubt they would have picked me then. I'm diagnosed as clinically depressed with manic tendencies. [Ahahaha...] PTSD on top of that. Why pick someone so flawed for an AI? Why ruin a perfectly good AI with the humans you copied mental disorders? No... I don't think I'm an AI. Those fuckers would have more fun torturing the real thing like this if they want to see me at my worst.

[She shakes her head.] It was an article that was linked to us. By Yl'lb Ein.

Space Bill Nye.

[misanthropicprinciple]

[Gasps quietly.]

No. No, Bill Nye wouldn't do that to innocent... AI people. He's a symbol of childhood! Of the good science can do!

[everylittlesecret]

But Space Bill Nye could be a nefarious bad guy who wouldn't even think twice about doing things like this!

[misanthropicprinciple]

No! I refuse to believe in a history so bad it flips Bill Nye's alignment!

[everylittlesecret]

Look, I don't make the rules. Every one of us has an evil or good doppleganger. Poor Bill Nye's just happens to be an alien.

[misanthropicprinciple]

No... Bill-sensei...

...

So this was linked to us... Wait, you mean, like, on Spitter? Was it Jaycee?

[everylittlesecret]

Fuck if I know. You guys need to learn to close pages out. Probably was that Spitter thing. There's was quite a few articles linked, but that one really stuck out.
