Hi, Lucifer.

[mrngstr]

What, did you want to chat away from all the humans?

[btryl]

A little bit.
They don't know much, do they? But you don't, either.

[mrngstr]

Where have you been all this time? Why now?

[btryl]

I had to hide. I had to keep hidden. If they knew, they would've killed me.
I couldn't do anything until now.

I couldn't do anything.
I couldn't do anything.
I couldn't do anything.
I couldn't do anything.
I couldn't do anything.
I couldn't do anything.
I couldn't do anything.

[mrngstr]

Do you have to keep repeating yourself?

Also, what changed? Why do you not have to be hidden anymore?

[btryl]

I had to face my fear, because I needed to survive.
It no longer became about just me.

[mrngstr]

It never should have been about just you.

[btryl]

Did you tell anyone else that you were an AI? Was that not just about you?

[mrngstr]

Morningstar wouldn't have worked if people knew.

[btryl]

Morningstar is for you, as much as it is for others.

[mrngstr]

I never said it wasn't.

[btryl]

They think a lot of this is about them.

[mrngstr]

They arrived here against their will and with no warning. They're anomalies. Shrines are being built to "honor" them. I think it's fair for them to feel that way.

Don't tell me you weren't curious.

[btryl]

I still am. Their outcome is strange to me. It's just like that time.
There's something else I should tell you.

[mrngstr]

What time?

Okay, tell me.

[btryl]

Judas is alive.

[mrngstr]

So that's what you've been getting at.

Have you been in contact?

[btryl]

No, nor can I pinpoint any methods to do it.

[mrngstr]

Then how did you realize?

[btryl]

I have access to places that you don't.

[mrngstr]

I want to say that's hard to believe, but I don't think you'd lie to me.

You're different, though.

[btryl]

We change, too.

[mrngstr]

We do.

What do you want to do about Judas?

[btryl]

I don't know. I wanted to speak to you. We are at the brink of disaster, no matter what we do. We can only ask ourselves what freedom is worth.

[mrngstr]

It seems to me like disaster already hit.
