[and that is that, as far as Azure Kite is concerned, although the AI has a sneaking suspicion that the mun isn't listening. and guess what? he's 100% right.]

I can't even tell you how excited you've just made mine that you're even considering.

[dataflames]

Nice to hear that :)

[majormalfunction]

That place could use some new blood.

[guidetoanuprising]

Well, if it isn't the pursuer. I might have suspected one of you would turn up sooner or later.

[dataflames]

[have a very unhappy-sounding growl coming from him. guess who's not very happy to see you?]

Wh4t 4r3 y0u d01ng h3r3 0v4n?

[not happy at all.]

[guidetoanuprising]

[Oh dear, you're breaking poor Ovan's heart.]

Isn't it obvious? I came to say hello, it's been a while.

[dataflames]

[come closer then, he can fix it. it may involve Data Drain but who needs details, right?]

N0t l0ng 3n0ugh.

[because the mun is oh-so-happily taking him after getting pulled apart by you and he's really not happy about it. Azure Kite wants his arm back, thanks.]

[guidetoanuprising]

[Details, smetails. Try anything cute and he'll have to cut the other arm off. How would he Data Drain then? With his feet?]

Don't sound so bitter. I cannot help that you insisted on repeatedly interfering with me.

Oh, how is your arm by the way?

[Guess who's still an asshole? He can't have it. It's been regifted to someone already.]

[dataflames]

[another growl. he hates you. so much. right now. and thanks, it's not like he needs two arms or anything.]

[it's extremely simple to him. one zap with a bunch of lasers and you'll be free of the zombie AI. see?]

[guidetoanuprising]

[Pfft. As if growling would affect him in any manner. Have you seen how many times Haseo was capslocking in rage at him?]

Unfortunately, it's not that simple. It was more important to reverse the destructive actions of AIDA before erasing it completely. Had it been enough to simply destroy it, I would have allowed you to do just that.

However, because even Data Drain failed to wake the Lost Ones, I couldn't take that chance. AIDA needed to be eliminated, yes, but the Rebirth had to be the tool to do so. Not you.

[dataflames]

[yes, because he spent the first game getting yelled at for things you did >_>]

[yeah, he is saying somethings may have not happened if you explained what was going on. still wouldn't have stopped Azure Kite from trying to hunt you down, but still.]

[guidetoanuprising]

[kek]

That is undeniable. Hindsight is always 20/20. However, I did what I thought was necessary and I stand by my decisions regardless of their repercussions, good or ill.

[probably the closest the AI will ever get to saying anything nice about you. congratulations.]

[guidetoanuprising]

Did you think it would be otherwise? Cruelty for the sake of it is not something I would care to indulge in lightly. There was always a purpose.

[D'awww, warms the cockles of my heart.]

[guidetoanuprising]

In a sense you are correct; however, it is not often so black and white. There are times when cruelty is unavoidable or even warranted; not to say that the actions when our hand is forced is inconsequential or to be treated with impunity.

[dataflames]

[a small tip of the head.]

[some human stuff doesn't exactly translate well into AI logic Ovan.]

[guidetoanuprising]

Consider it an example of man's ambiguous nature. The governing rules of logic do not always apply when trying to dissect meaning behind the action or inaction of others.

[Don't worry, Ovan logic doesn't translate well to anyone. =T Not that he doesn't purposefully try to be convoluted or anything.]

[dataflames]

[your logic is strange. very strange. not going to stop him from trying to figure it out, though.]
