{FAILED LOCK TO LILITH}

... I suppose I could come back and visit sometime, if you're really that bored.

Still pretty damn locked

"Gremlins" is slang for machines failing on you where I'm from.

But yeah, it was probably the community deciding to laugh at your expense. It it makes you feel any better, it probably wasn't anything personal.

... I've been here for over two years. I know all about its tricks.

Your world's computers do this sort of thing, too?

For all sorts of dumb reasons. And that's not even getting into the glitches my weapons can get into.

Though, in those cases, a glitch probably means I need to iron out some issue with a friend.

No. Here, it probably means Eris was bored.

Or the community itself was. It's sentient.

Just assume it's locked

What, like an artificial intelligence?

...that explains so much, and is very frightening.

I don't know what the term for it is, but it's alive.

Yeah, that's the term. A constructed or artificial intelligence. 'Alive' might be giving it too much credit, but I'm pretty sure you're right that it's as smart, if not smarter, than us.

... What are you, some sort of expert?

Nah, just friends with one. And I read stories about science and new inventions.

Mostly made up, but -

Azula, I come from a universe where aliens from another planet AND another dimension invaded the earth, knocked out everyone with psychic powers, and we pilot giant walking mechanical suits of armor that literally run on the power of love.

A lot of those stories are MORE plausible than my actual situation.

Your brother seems to think otherwise...

He does still love you, from what I can see. But you do scare him.

... Now. My father disowned him and his mother disowned me, so we are no longer siblings.

I don't want him in my family, anyway. Or her.

Wait, her? Who is 'her?'

Shit.

I won't ask. I enjoy living...

She isn't my mother anymore.
