Horizon ( @ravage-on-the-horizon ) @ "File X" "Ah... This is unfortunate isn't it. You're certainly an unusual looking human as far as I've seen. Well, you wouldn't be the first odd looking one I've seen." Horizon paused, remembering her why she was speaking. "Who are you? You look similar to another I've seen... At least coloration wise."

{[FILE X] shows heightened aggression towards its fellow species-type. Intriguing.}

Poni looks at the mystery person with a hint of confusion and concern.

You alright there? Seems like you've seen a ghost..are ghosts even a thing in the digital world?

She said the last part to herself, placing a hand on her chin.

{[FILE X] no longer appears hostile, but still remains agitated. Interesting.}

"Though, shit... maybe that's a bad idea, too. What if it's contagious? What if it ends up affecting another Digital World?"

{They shake their head, squeezing their eyes shut with a tired groan.}

"Come on, pull yourself together."

{A mutter, half-audible. Louder, they continue.}

"Look. Listen very closely to me: there's a high level program being run all across this server, and it's trying to delete Digimon indiscriminately. I don't know if I can protect you from it, but I can send you to a friend, and he can monitor your condition until we know you're safe to move out of a sandbox quarantine."

{Their voice is pleading. Pitiful. All this concern for a stranger, when a moment earlier they were ready to spring to murder on a hair trigger. This information is extraneous. We are looking for something else.}

{Ah. We can't allow that to work as they would expect. It would be too resource-intensive to simulate anything beyond the render distance of this file's perception.}

The integrity of the file flickers for a moment, but [FILE X] doesn't notice.

Regardless, the gate itself seems stable, safe enough for Poni to leave through.

[Distortion confirmed! Further investigation authorized.] [Subject Requiem.apocaly.mon motivation unconfirmed.] [Behavior notes updating...]

{INPUT SELECTED: FILE X}

{Go ahead and inquire, then. It's what we installed your program for, after all. It may not last long enough to gather the information we require, but your curiosity is useful enough.}

{It would appear that [FILE X] has noticed my intrusion into this memory.}
