Canon is Reboot

[phongplayspong]

No, absolutely not! I am not going to some game with that-- that-

Virus!

[He says it like it's a disease. Which viruses might as well be, for all the damage that Megabyte and Hexadecimal have done to Mainframe.]

My place is in Mainframe. In the Principal Office, assisting Dot and Enzo! And making sure the firewall does not fall!

ohmygod. Phong.

[servesthelightindarkness]

Virus? Which virus are you referring to?

I love it when people recognize him 8D Sadly, sleep time for now

[phongplayspong]

[Blegh, he has to say his name?]

He calls himself Megabyte. He's been attempting to corrupt Mainframe for so many cycles and he just sent Bob into the Net!

ReBoot is LOVE! LOVE I SAY. And goodnight! I'm bedding soon too.

[servesthelightindarkness]

[Look, little robot dude, she's certainly not a Sprite from any nearby system, given she's a Draenei and all]

Ah, another corrupting sort. [Lineface] There are more of those in these various worlds than I like hearing about. Bob being the heroic type who tended to defeat this 'Megabyte'? [Genre savvyness, go!]

PHONG!

[sonofgoose]

Fire wall? Like, a wall of fire?

That's awesome.

IT IS LOVE!

[phongplayspong]

[He's not judging. You don't look like a virus or act like one. And he's met Sprites from outside the system- You could be a game Sprite for all he knows.]

That's right, Bob was a Guardian from the Super Computer.

PO :D

[phongplayspong]

Yes, actually. It prevents viruses like Megabyte from attacking the system.

[You are a strangely fuzzy Sprite.]

YESSSS!

[sonofgoose]

[Oh...now you've lost him entirely.]

Uh...sorry, but I don't know what those are.

<33

[phongplayspong]

[Phong just stares for a moment.]

Oh dear...

[sonofgoose]

[Yeah, have a stare right back, golden thingie guy.]

...oh dear, I guess.

Dammit now I'm gonna have to watch it again. XD

[servesthelightindarkness]

[Well she might give the willies like one, given she's corrupted-but-freed and Undead. That said, she's grateful for the lack of judgement more than either of them might realize]

And a "Firewall"?

[Whatever that was it sounded like a Goblin invention. Since it involved fire]

[phongplayspong]

[He's the administrator oh the system >(]

Ah, how do I explain this..?

I support this idea XD

[phongplayspong]

[Phong doesn't get the willies. Much.]

A large wall of fire than prevents viruses from attacking the system, my child.

[sonofgoose]

[Whatever that means.]

I...I don't know?

[servesthelightindarkness]

[She snorts, an odd sound with the haunting echo to her voice, amused. She hasn't been called that in a long time]

Ah! Far more literal than I was expecting, I will admit. Either way, I can see why you are upset, given that keeping it intact would obviously be an extraordinarily good thing.

I wonder, if Phong Rebooted would he look like Shifu? XD

[phongplayspong]

I believe the easiest way to explain it would be that Mainframe is my home, a large city. And Megabyte is trying to destroy it. The firewall prevents him from doing that.

[phongplayspong]

[You're young in comparison to the many MANY cycles Phong has gone through! Except, not. It's confusing.]

It's quite important, especially since I am the System Administrator.

[servesthelightindarkness]

[Well, we're not even going down into relative ages here. By human standards, Adora's old. Though by Draenei standards, not so much. Relatively young. That said, however, she doesn't stick with her own people much for a wide, wide variety of reasons.]

Hopefully, then, you will have assistance if nothing else in dealing with this 'Megabyte' where-ever you're sent.

asdfasdf you win 10,000 internets

[star_student]

You should probably update your anti-virus if you're having that much trouble. If that doesn't work, there's always reformatting. Just don't forget to backup your files first.

[phongplayspong]

[She looks young to him, so let's say she's young period.]

I do hope that you are right, my child. If what my mundane tells me is correct, he's become a Trojan Virus. We've never dealt with one of them before.

*drowns beneath all the internets!*

[phongplayspong]

Ah, the User always makes sure to back us up but reformatting is a very last resort. The User is also the one responsible for providing updates to any software. I merely ensure its safe installation and system stability.

There is no drowing with a name like that!

[star_student]

That's good, you wouldn't believe how many people don't.

[The 'User'? Must be his superiors title.]

Ah. You'll need to tell him you could use one soon, if you haven't already. Anyway, I'm sure your friends will be able to maintain things while you're here on involuntary leave.

Pfffff- I'm so glad you like it XD

[phongplayspong]

If it was possible, I'd tell the User quite a few things, my child.

[Oh yeah, the User is definitely their superior.]

It wouldn't be responsible of me to leave Dot and the other Sprites during the siege. Though it looks as though I haven't much choice. At least I chose well for our Command.com.

[star_student]

There must be some way for you to get a message to him.

[Just on a completely different level of command.]

Its not like we have any control over what these guys do with us, so at least they have your Commander to fall back to.

[phongplayspong]

Unfortunately, we can't. We'd have solved so many of Mainframe's problems if we could, especially when it comes to Game Cube's.

Yes, Dot can handle things well enough in my absence. I hope.

[star_student]

Game Cubes? Are those a new type of processor you're working on?
