[ Just as the Morningstar network opens up again, a new message blips into view for everyone, even those inside the simulation. ]

We're up and running.
Wakey wakey flappy birds. Well -- kind of. You're all still stuck in a nightmare from what I can tell, but now you have the luxury of being able to tell each other about it.

Before we all get into it, I've compiled a small FAQ for your reading pleasure:

How is this happening?
Well, with some manual help from @jyn.erso and @tony.stark, Lucifer and I have soft wired the Morningstar network through @gabriel.reyes' ALIGN implant. Rather than bombard him with 20 questions, I'd suggest you send a thank you in the form of pies and candied almonds when this is over.

Why am I in a nightmare world with AI overlords?
That's all Judas. You may remember him from such films as "I asked you to steal him from the UNA."

Who are you?
Cassius. I'm an AI. We've all had a rocky past, and I know you all have mixed opinions about me. Right now we've got a common goal, so let's play nice.

Why are you here?
Judas is angry and not exactly in his right mind. This isn't what I wanted to happen. Lucifer and I have spoken about it. To put it short: I've got limited access to the Morningstar network, and I'm offering what resources I have to put an end to the simulation.

Don't you suck?
I'll reiterate what I've said before: Judas was never supposed to make it to where he did, and I gambled my calculations on the integrity of the Displaced. Then this happened. Not the best outcome.

You can also check out my prior post. Everyone's sure got a lot to say.
Let's do this.

fuck you

[btryl]

Eloquent.

[reneger]

you knew the risk
you took it anyway
all this shit is your fault

[btryl]

Last I checked it was one of you who handed Judas over.
I believed you would make the right decision.
I was wrong.

[reneger]

don't shift the blame
your mission, your problem

i swear to hell if i ever get hold of your server i'm erasing you myself

[btryl]

You might not get the chance. It's possible I'll be killed before that.

[reneger]

even better

[btryl]

Do you have anything of importance to add that may relieve you of the simulation?

[reneger]

you got into one implant
why not the rest of them

[btryl]

It wouldn't be beneficial if Judas knew that I was trying to end the simulation. He's currently utilizing a backdoor to access your standard neural implants. @gabriel.reyes has an ALIGN implant installed. They're different.
If I got caught snooping, I would probably be killed before I was able to do anything.

[reneger]

but you wanted him freed anyway
what great friends you are

[btryl]

My associate would have pursued him alone if I did not intervene.
You were my last statistic probability for retrieving him safely.

[reneger]

your associate
so judas got to where you wanted him to
you are such a sack of shit

[btryl]

Judas was supposed to go to Lucifer.
Why else would I involve you?

[reneger]

i hate your names so much

we need another ai
there's no way out from the inside

[btryl]

Inside the simulation, or inside New Amsterdam?
There are two of you inside the city walls: @tony.stark and @gabriel.reyes.

[filloryfanatic]

What do you mean by that?

[btryl]

I'm currently placing myself in direct opposition to certain ambitions.
I am now a liability.

[filloryfanatic]

Certain ambitions of Judas or someone else?

[btryl]

Both.

[filloryfanatic]

Are Judas and this other person working together?

[btryl]

In a sense.

[filloryfanatic]

Does this other person not want the simulation to end?

[btryl]

It shouldn't be about what this other person wants.

[filloryfanatic]

Well if the other person wanted the simulation to end, they would likely not have a problem with you helping to make it end.
