「You know what... Maybe Sorrow's resurrection did affect him a little more than Atem is giving credit for.」

i should have done more to help you

Why do you feel that way?

because i wanted to help you but i dont know how

Hey, how are you doing?

[He figures he should check and see if the event if affecting their new robot friend or not.]

[Name] is alive! This unit is pleased to continue existing. This unit would like to do it more.

Is [Lance] okay?

Continuing to exist is usually pretty enjoyable, yeah.

I'm fine, thank you. Some people here are feeling certain emotions more strongly than usual, however; is that happening to you, if you're able to tell?

[ In between the rising and falling tides of sorrow, Curufin makes the effort to contact the little android. He has made a promise and has a responsibility, strange as this seems even to him. Is Name being affected as strongly as the Hadrielites are? And if so, how will it weather such an onslaught of emotion? ]

Name? Are you all right?

Edited 2018-04-30 01:54 (UTC)

Define: all right.

[ Curufin has to think about that one. Luckily for him, he knows some modern scientific terminology. ]

All right means all your systems are in homeostasis at the moment. No sharp voltage or current spikes in your circuitry, no wild oscillations.

Are you afflicted with emotions right now? I mean, particularly strong ones. If you are, your homeostasis may be knocked off kilter.

[Nick is actually swinging by to see Name rather than just keeping tabs on where he's being hidden -- a relative rarity these days, given travel between islands isn't all that easy on a rusty synth like him -- but he communicates in the usual way.]

Hope you're holding up well, Name.

[He has a reason for coming, but better get pleasantries out of the way first.]

name????
name are you okay
did you get caught in the
i mean
youre here right please be here xox

It is okay!

[Name] is here. This city has moved again, with a different energy source this time. Preliminary scans indicate that we are now on planet A962-E7.

ohmygosh im so glad
i was worried

wait omg thats right you can scan stuff
does this planet have a name??
also is it gonna get much colder lmao

[Planet] is A962-E7.

Temperatures will fall by several magnitudes. Inadequate for cold-blooded life.

No further parasite influence detected. May be possible to purge memory banks of parasite infection.

[Y/N]

hhhahahha okay thats a problem because
guess whos!!! that!!!!
great ok thats one thi

waitwait no uhm
dont do that
i mean
we dont know what its gonna do right???? and
i dont have a lot of resources right now
if you broke i would want to be able to fix you =unu=

[Also she's... kind of terrified of the idea of them not remembering her. Selling them all out, if they didn't remember anything about being themselves.]

Ok.

[Alphys] needs heat. [Name] can power a small generator for designated [friend].

ohmygosh i
well ive got one its
mostly working
i dont want to run you out though!!!
do you need to charge at all?

also omg u called me friend
=;w;=
thats
ahhhhhhhhhhHHHHHH im touched

No. This unit generates power on its own. [Name] can power small items without needing charge.

you know that
makes sense
but still be careful ok =^;o;^=
ill let you know if i need it
dont worry too much about me ok <3 <3

Part of having parasite emotions means that [Name] cannot simply turn them on or off.

This unit will worry.

okay well
gosh =u/////u=
i guess i cant argue with that LOL
ill take care of myself as long as you do
let me know if youre too cold and you can come over ok
or well
i guess you can just hang out here whenever you want for now??? since the gods arent watching LOL
theres not a lot going on here but sounds like there not a lot going on anywhere soooo

Yes. There is more freedom. This unit will conduct more thorough scans of the city and surrounding areas.

ok!!!!
tell me what you find
but be careful
lots of people still dont know youre here lol
if they see a null they might panic =ono=
mayb i can make u a sign
or something

Hey Name. I'm sorry I haven't been by for awhile, but I have a question for you. It's important, not just to me this time but for all of us.

Are you still reading everything on the network? Do you recognize these creatures? Harlan says they were an intelligent species. They killed him and tried to kill several others, but he couldn't get any distinct thoughts besides that they see us as a threat.

Unclear. It is likely that the Null have records of these creatures. The Null keep extensive records and this planet was once inhabited by my species, so if something is native to here, then we would know about it.

This unit can search the Null database but doing so may allow other Null to detect [Name] within our network. Since this unit's discovery, connection to the Null database has been offline.

Don't search for it. If you don't know on your own then there's my answer. Thank you for looking.

How are you? Do you still have feelings, even without the gods around?

Yes. This unit theorizes that the parasite infection is permanent.

Oh. I didn't realize. How do you feel about that? Going through everything we do.

It fills this unit with dread, but also with hope.

[Name] wants to be happy, someday.

It'll happen. Maybe it already has -- happiness can be really subtle, and you can feel more than one thing at once. You don't think you've felt it yet?

It is possible.

This unit feels content when it is with [designation: friends]. That is similar to happiness.

name!!!!!!
i hope ur doing well
did you see what tranquility was saying about us moving and
fighting the null

are you ok?

This unit is not harmed. [Name] will stay with [Alphys], Designation: friend.

im really glad!!!
i was mostly just
well
how do you feel about all of this??
about fighting other null or
if they come will you connect to them and

not be you anymore?

i just wanted to know what you were thinking
if you were

[Name] lacks weaponry on its current chassis. In order to participate in battle, [Name] needs access to [Alphys] Null weaponry.

The Null will come. This unit is

there is

[ERROR]

difficult to process how this unit feels.

Question: what is the emotion when something is inevitable but you do not want it to happen?

[She sighs at her phone when the message comes in. They don't deserve this. They don't.]

i dont know if its a specific word
maybe
mournful
youre already sad about its loss when it hasnt happened yet
and i understand

you dont have to fight if you dont want to
no one will make you
i just wanted to know if you
is there any way to make them stop fighting
i dont want them all to die
do you think we could convince them

[Name] loves Alphys. [Name] loves all of [designation: friend].

This unit will not let the Null kill you.

The Null will not respond to pleas. The other null operate on logic and facts, and all logic points to eliminating a threat to our species.

The parasites already are aware of this. This is why they flee.

[SHE'S GONNA CRY THIS SWEET LITTLE BOT]

awww ilu2!!!! <3 <3
i was worried you would say that tho
i always sort of hoped that talking would work but
i guess thats just not going to happen
and you dont think that they would want to have feelings and stuff
would you?
i know it's not the best but like
everybody here seems to just want to kill them
and i dont know whats worse
making them do something they dont want or having them die for it
its just a really hard choice

Yes.

Perhaps it is best to choose the path that is more achievable. Deciding to kill all of the Null, or to inflict them with the parasite virus, is only worthwhile if it is possible. Neither of those options seem quite that simple to this unit.

Does [Alphys] think that she can kill all of the Null?

um
no
i dont think i can kill any of them
or well maybe i can kill some but
i dont want to
not even the mean ones

do you think you could?
if you had to

The Null chassis do not feel pain. Rendering them obsolete is simple.
Deleting the Null files is... more complicated.

If it was to stop a war? To protect [designation: friend]?

Yes.

[There's a small delay before she responds again, as she tries to think of what to say.]

wow i
i think youre stronger than me to say that lol
would you be scared?
to be the only one left?
would you think its better than changing them or

i dont know what to do
i just want to do the right thing
