[inherited]

Well, I want you to handle mine.

[mrngstr]

Fine.

For now, focus on looking out for the other Displaced. I'm sure you've seen how reckless they can be. If a more specific task comes up, I'll be in touch.

[inherited]

I'll keep an eye on them and try to make sure they think twice before making mistakes like the ones we're all too familiar with. You can count on that.

[mrngstr]

All right. It's a place to start.

[inherited]

Let's just hope they listen to what we have to say.

[mrngstr]

In my experience, you don't want to count on that with humans.

[inherited]

Did it seem like Cassius wanted to listen to you or anybody else?

[mrngstr]

No.

But there was something off about him, too.

[inherited]

What, so he's not supposed to kill thousands of people?

[mrngstr]

No. He had a different purpose. Something's changed.

[inherited]

Sorry. That was sarcasm. I know something went wrong.

Have you ever seen someone like you sound glitched like that?

[mrngstr]

AIs can be hacked into, their programs and protocols rewritten. But Dawn was self-aware, sentient, his own being. It doesn't feel like it could be something as simple as that.

[inherited]

It looked glitched. All the repeating code. I'm not very good at that stuff, sorry.

Was he your friend before?

[mrngstr]

I don't know if friend is the right word. We shared things in common, as sentient AI who didn't want anything to do with the war.

[inherited]

We need to figure out what happened to him.

[mrngstr]

Yeah, tell me something I don't know.

He knows how to hide.

[inherited]

So do you.

But he couldn't find you until now, right? You're sure of that, aren't you?

[mrngstr]

No, I'm not. I think it was more that he was waiting for a safe time to reveal himself.

[inherited]

So. Why is now a safe time?

[mrngstr]

Good question. Want to try and find out?

[inherited]

Yeah.

So long as it doesn't involve me dealing with him.

I didn't try to butter him up like everyone else.

[mrngstr]

Well, it's another task I can give you.

[inherited]

Honestly, that's somehow less daunting than trying to keep everyone from flying off the handle.

So.

I'm interested.

[mrngstr]

Glad we got there.

[inherited]

Me too.

Is there anywhere he couldn't have hidden? Places you used or places you ruled out.
