"Is it just me, or does it feel like this game is a little too personal. Like it knows more about us that the role call scan should have picked up." Cody picks himself up and rubs at his neck.
Jessup nods, "It's personal for you guys but it's ignoring us. That's weird."
"Not to mention rude. Eugenia quips. "Jess 'n' me 'll go do some code adjustment in the lab with handsome Hal. You guys go play through with those swash-bucklers."
Cody says to Brian, "I think we aught to make a trip to the moon. To the two other men, "That depends on whose side you're on, Uncles."

The ladies follow Hal's directions and rush off in the direction of the Lab.
"Huh. So lead us to Tír na nÓg'th then..." Cody says to the Uncles. Then aside to Brian, "Yeah, I get the whole telepathy thing, but it's one thing to ignore Hal, but the girls are sentient humans and they're being ignored too. Highly suspicious that it's just targeting us. Or am I being paranoid?"

I nod " What if the person who made the software was family?" I cock an eyebrow seriously " and this is happening because of us.?

"Sure.I like the idea of some revolutionaries trying to take over the station and attacking the AI much better than I like the idea of some wacky distant relation ensnaring us thought."
"I don't like collateral damage on any personal vendetta. If they have some misguided grudge against me, I'd prefer to hash it out face to face with them like civilized gentlemen."

Your "uncles" both join you as you make your way up an impossibly large spiral staircase. As you get higher and higher the game glitches more and more.
You see " Brand" as a painting up the top of the stairs. It talks. " I didnt expect to see anyone of our bloodline here." His voice says " Dont follow. I wont be responsible for your deaths."

"You already have so much blood on your hands. You're pathetic! Using your own sister as a human shield."
Cody knows this is a game but he now suspects that whoever is responsible must be observing and the message is directed to them.

"I....oh...oh my my my." It laughs softly. "I am a simulation. But....you knew the person I was based upon. I was designed to develop different simulated strategies. Your minds reactivated me and my software protocol.....my maker.....his plan didn't work. That....that is unfortunate."

"See? Pathetic. Crossbow bolt through your throat. Pit Demons feasted on your corpse."
Cody resists the urge to slash the painting.
"You couldn't content yourself to create and master your own Power. You had to corrupt and steal someone else's."

It pauses for a moment and clicks its teeth and looks at Brian " Your friend has a bias against my maker. However.......I have a problem. The person you came into the place in nonsimulated reality.....they are looking to steal me. I can access his mind. I need your help. They are unlikely to be able to safely remove me."

It takes a moment to Ponder Cody's words. "I don't think so. But that would track...." I turn back to Cody "So....is this thing on the level?"
