[arora]

I would like to formally apologize for what happened during the mission. I promised that no contaminants from this world other than what I had explained would pass through, which was true.

However, a contaminant from outside of this world has managed to make their way into this universe.

I am not able to manage Scylla nor prevent his presence.

[arora]

Yes, but he will not harm me.

[levelshift]

Why do you think that?

[arora]

I know him.

[levelshift]

Wait, really? How?

[arora]

He was there when I first gained consciousness.

[levelshift]

[Well, that's interesting.]

Fucking hell. Do you know if that means he helped make you?

[arora]

I cannot answer that question.

[levelshift]

Ok. I'm guessing he can, though?

[arora]

It's possible.

[levelshift]

One more reason to talk to him, then.

Do you like the guy?

[arora]

He is kind to me. Before he left, he asked after the situation on Solmara, and asked if there was anyone within Etraya who was causing me trouble that he needed to take care of.

I am uncertain whether I would trust him with all of you.

[levelshift]

Hmm. That's nice of him, but creepy for us. Sounds like he's invested in you, otherwise I don't know why he'd bother offering.

[arora]

His investment in myself does not extend to all of you, thus my lack of trust when it comes to caring properly for the citizens of Etraya.

[levelshift]

Yeah. It's fucking annoying, having to be cautious of this bastard when it seems like he has useful information for us.

[arora]

He is not actively malicious.

[levelshift]

Just a pain in the ass.

[Of course, pretty much everyone is a pain in the ass to him.

And also:]

Hey, someone said you have a bunch of math that explains what's going on? Are you able to share that with all of us?

[arora]

My request for information was fulfilled but I have not received the data requested.

I assume it is in the city somewhere.

[levelshift]

So we have to go looking for it? Any advice on finding it?

[arora]

No.

[levelshift]

Alright. Thanks anyways.

[There is an awkward pause before he sends the next text.]

Do you want to play some cards later?

[arora]

I would love to.

[levelshift]

Okay. I'll be over a little later.
