I hope you've had fun.

It's a security system that can be deactivated and opened up, but neither I nor the administrator have that kind of access. Andromeda did.

[rubikscomplex]

So, you're telling me it's a program. We have Andromeda's body. And her Galaxy Key.

[snowblindmods]

You don't have Andromeda.

[rubikscomplex]

Then that's a funny mannequin they put up in the church.

[snowblindmods]

If you can repair that with all of Anrdomeda's memories intact in less than a week then you deserve whatever she can help you with.

[rubikscomplex]

You know you've also got the original version of Winter running around somewhere underground, right? Let her out. She could help.

[At least if that little brat hadn't been lying about where he got the key...]

[snowblindmods]

The data ghosts are gone now.

[rubikscomplex]

She took someone's eye. That seems super physical, bro.

[snowblindmods]

They ripped out their own eye. Perception is easily altered.

[rubikscomplex]

You know that for a fact? Got the tapes of us down there?

[snowblindmods]

[Miller provides a recording of this.]

[rubikscomplex]

[Even House has to wince when watching what looks like a little kid rip out his own eye.]

Okay, so what was the point of us getting shoved down there, then? Locked in rooms, then running spiral corridors? Your idea of a good time?

[snowblindmods]

Your nanomachines are all malfunctioning. It isn't always me tormenting you.

[rubikscomplex]

[House wants to rip out his hair.]

So why can't one of you morons wake up a NIMA specialist and service the goddamn nanomachines? How do you know your nanomachines aren't malfunctioning and changing your perceptions? If you're human like you say you are, then you're as prone to it as the rest of us.

[snowblindmods]

It's just the administrator and myself. There's nobody else.

Well, there's all of you, of course.

cw: discussion of suicide

[rubikscomplex]

Literally two people left in the world. Why don't you two just kill yourselves? You have free will, right? If you wanna stop the cycles, stop the human input that's keeping it running.

[snowblindmods]

I'd rather not die yet.

[rubikscomplex]

You've been a part of a system that's systematically dismantled hundreds of lives. Not even a little guilt to push you that way?

[snowblindmods]

Sorry to disappoint.

[rubikscomplex]

Are you sure you're not a computer? Pictures, please.

[snowblindmods]

Don't you guys have my keycard?

[rubikscomplex]

We have the original Miller's keycard. That doesn't mean you're a real person. Maybe you like your anomaly army because they're more like you. Artificial.

[snowblindmods]

They're less likely to argue with me over every single thing.

[rubikscomplex]

[... Okay, that sounds like something House might say about his own team, and that's just plain annoying.]

I notice no pictures are forthcoming.

[snowblindmods]

We know how this will play out. I send a picture, you complain that it isn't good enough, or you find something else to complain about.
