So. Backups. And I mean the computer kind.

Anyone ever hear of backing up an entire person?

Would we need to get one of those industrial hard drives to put you on?

[boostup4beetbuster]

Probably, given I'm such a genius, it'll take a lot more to back me up.

Honestly, though, all this stuff about Enter backing himself up in Hiromu's got me worried.

...We DID pass along the notes from Kurorin's briefing, right? This isn't the first time you've heard this?

[yes_im_kawaii]

Something about cards and Hiromu having data in him and Enter wants to be a human except better and stuff? I kind of drew all over the handout and Nekotari spilled juice on it.

[boostup4beetbuster]

That's basically it. Not sure how we're gonna get that card out of Hiromu and destroy it.

[yes_im_kawaii]

I wish it were easy. Like just putting a magnet on his head.

[boostup4beetbuster]

Yeah, already thought of that, at least with an electromagnet. But if it did manage to affect the data on the card, it'd end up affecting his own vaccine program too.

[yes_im_kawaii]

And there's no way to just go into his head, is there?

[boostup4beetbuster]

Our best case scenario might be to break him down into data completely and figure out how to remove the bits of code that don't belong. But I don't know how to do that without killing him.

[yes_im_kawaii]

That's just scary! How did the card even get in? So is that why you want to back people up? It's not for you, it's for Hiromu?

[boostup4beetbuster]

Dunno anymore. If I can figure out how Enter managed to make that backup, then maybe I can work with something.

[yes_im_kawaii]

It's because they're all just data, right? And a person can be data, too, like how you're an actual person but also a projection-thing.

This is complicated. I wish I were smart.

[boostup4beetbuster]

Being a genius isn't making it any easier, believe me.

[yes_im_kawaii]

Do you think we can just kind of block off his access to it? Like when you don't pay the Internet bill?

[boostup4beetbuster]

A firewall to contain him? Possible, but we'd have to figure out a way to avoid hurting chicken-boy in the process.

[yes_im_kawaii]

What if it wasn't to keep the card from getting out of Hiromu? What if it was to keep him from contacting it or whatever he does? I dunno how you'd do that, though. But it's better than, like, dissecting him or something.

[boostup4beetbuster]

I dunno. I'm running out of ideas, and every time we beat Enter, he just springs up again 'cause of Hiromu. It's a pain.

[yes_im_kawaii]

...I dunno either. I want to bring everyone back. If there's a wish, there's a price. Ugly face makeup man said that was why I was supposed to die if I got my wish or gave up on it. But I don't want there to be a price! I just want everything fixed!

[boostup4beetbuster]

[pause, as if he's been deleting for a WHILE]

Well, don't worry so much about that. We'll take care of that side, okay?

[yes_im_kawaii]

I want to help. [sigh] I dunno what I can do, but I want to.

[boostup4beetbuster]

We could always see if chickens are gonna set Enter off.

[yes_im_kawaii]

You mean, like if something that hurts Enter hurts Hiromu, it could be the opposite too? That's a great idea! I'm gonna go find one right now!

...And if I can't get one, then I'll just go to KFC and bring a bucket of that!

[boostup4beetbuster]

We'll figure out how to rig a chicken cannon onto the Buster Machines!

[yes_im_kawaii]

Let me borrow some graph paper and K'nex when I get back from getting a chicken! Then we can fix everything!

[boostup4beetbuster]

That's the spirit!

[yes_im_kawaii]

Then you can work on your guys's projects and try and fix Hiromu in case it doesn't work. ...But it's totally gonna work!

[Off to design idiocy!]
