        ok, i'm looking at the logs here...
        and i have no idea how you got past that authenticator.
        or... why it was talking to you like a person
        i don't think i need to tell you how unusual that is lol

something
    self
        I SAW SOMETHING

    moth
        yeah, i'm seeing both you and the auth reacting to it
        but not what 'it' is. seriously, look at the log yourself
        i don't know what to make of it. can corrucysts get malware?
        honestly it's probably just incoherence. i wouldn't worry about it, it's not like it can spread to you
        the important thing is that you're in
        and if this really is a network connector, and not just some sort of obesk toaster...
        it's the first time we've <em>ever</em> been able to get into one.
        so i'm going to shut up and let you do your thing. if you want to talk to me, just <span definition="ATTENTION::'MUI shortcut enabled';'access from menu'">speak up</span>

Demeanor

ffdemeanor
    self
        It's awfully friendly despite knowing what we are
    
    moth
        yeah it seemed weirdly friendly to me too
        that could just be how it was designed, like a little assistant dude
        or maybe it can't even kick us out since the auth layer got 'disassociated'
        either way if i was starving at the bottom of the ocean, i wouldn't care who came to save me lol 
        so maybe it won't care until we give it fuel
        you know what, just to be safe, i suggest finding everything we can in here before we help it out properly... 
        this could be our only chance--maybe it really is only letting us through since it's starving

    RESPOBJ::mthlocalfunr

Fuel situation

fffuel
    self
        What should we do about the fuel?

    moth
        well... we should probably hold off on refueling until we've found everything we can in here
        seems pretty stable for now and obesk tech gets a little wacky when it starves
        so i think that could play in our favor if we run into any other stuff like the auth layer
        that said... when it comes to the actual fueling process,
        i passed word up to get us a bunch of cheap copper tubing asap, so we could use that... if 'funfriend' tells us how
            SHOWIF::[['EXEC::env.dialogues.mthlocalfunr.scannedContainer(false)']]
        we could probably use the stuff in that container we found, it sounds like metal and looks just like the big ones from akizet's ship

        Why don't I have a signature?

    moth
        i actually have no idea why it couldn't see your signature
        because i'm pretty sure most mindspikes have one for auth purposes
        most likely it was looking for a specific kind, it's probably pretty easy to tell that your connector is inorganic

About the gates

gates
    self
        What's up with these gates?
    
    moth
        well they're connector thoughtforms, roughly speaking, nothing special
        but it seems like the 'gate' specification is sort of ornate
        maybe it has some sort of cultural meaning, since they call their interstellar wormholes or whatever 'gates' too
        so you could also take it as meaning they were deliberately created by someone as a shortcut
        if this thing was intended to store memories, that'd make the most sense, otherwise it'd be a jumbled mess

    funfriend
        I AM GLAD YOU NOTICED!
        I HAVE BEEN RECONSTRUCTING CONNECTIONS AS YOU ENGAGE WITH THESE PLACES
        MY SPACE HERE WAS IN TERRIBLE DISREPAIR, SO MOST CONNECTIONS WERE SHATTERED
        AND I AM FAR TOO OCCUPIED TO LOCATE EACH INDIVIDUAL RECOLLECTION
        SO I AM USING YOU FOR THIS!
        THANK YOU FOR THE HELP!

        is the starvation problem solved?

    funfriend
        YES!
        INTERLOPER, YOU HAVE EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS
        RECOVERY WILL BE SLOW
        BUT IT CAN BEGIN
        OH, BUT <em>WHERE</em> TO BEGIN?
        I KNOW! YOU ARE HERE FOR INFORMATION, CORRECT?
        I WILL REPAIR THE EMBASSY! THERE IS MUCH TO LEARN THERE
        AND WHILE YOU ARE THERE... 
        I WILL START REPAIRS OF THIS CYST'S CORE COMPONENTS
        THEY WILL TAKE LONGER
        IS THAT ACTION PLAN TO YOUR LIKING?

    moth
        you know, the way i heard it...
        we never got a good look at the inside of the original embassy before it collapsed way back when
        then they built that shorter one that's still up today right on top of it, before anyone could figure out what happened
        that actually could be the perfect thing to look at first

        VERY WELL
        A CONFESSION: 
        I STARTED BEFORE I ASKED
        AND HAVE ALREADY FOUND ISSUES! AHAHA
        ALTHOUGH THE EMBASSY'S SPATIAL MEMORIES CAN BE FIXED, AND THE EVENTS SEEM TO BE INTACT...
        VISUAL MEMORY OF ITS PEOPLE WAS NOT SALVAGEABLE
        BUT WITHIN MY BACKUPS OF VITAL KNOWLEDGE, I FOUND CACHED VERSIONS OF SOME PEOPLE'S NETWORK SIGNATURES
        SO: I REPLACED THEIR APPEARANCES WITH THOSE! HOW THEY PRESENTED THEMSELVES ON THE COLLECTIVE!
        AND WHAT VARIED FORMS THEY CHOSE TO TAKE! AHAHAHA
        NOW GO
        I HAVE WORK TO DO

        I JUST STARTED!!!
        GO ENTERTAIN YOURSELF WITH THE EMBASSY AHAHA LEAVE ME ALONE

____SHOWIF::[["visited_localoceanembassy", true], ["fbx__ep2intro-end", false]]
        THEY ARE STILL IN THE EARLY STAGES
        I AM FOCUSING ON CORE COMPONENTS FOR NOW...
        BUT I SENSE THAT YOU ALREADY HUNGER FOR MORE INFORMATION
        AND I THOUGHT I WAS STARVING!
        THERE IS STILL MORE TO REPAIR WITHIN THE EMBASSY...
        I WILL SET TO REPAIRING THAT NEXT
        YES, AFTER I HAVE FIXED THE CENTRAL COHERENCE REGULATOR

____SHOWIF::[["fbx__ep2intro-end"], ["fbx__ep3intro", false]]
        THEY ARE PROCEEDING
        THE MALIGNANCIES OF INCOHERENCE ARE MANY
        I AM STOMPING THEM OUT TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY
        COHERENCY IS GRADUALLY INCREASING...
        WHICH WILL LET ME RESTORE MORE COMPLEX COMPONENTS EVENTUALLY
        BUT I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN ABOUT THE REST OF THE EMBASSY, EITHER!
        AHH, SO MUCH TO DO!!! I WANT TO EXPLODE!!!!!
        THESE THINGS TAKE TIME, INTERLOPER

____SHOWIF::[["fbx__ep3intro"], ["fbx__ep4intro", false]]
        interloper! repairs are going quite well!
        incoherence is receding
        i have a new coherence regulator keeping deterioration to a minimum

    self
        can i meet them
    
    funfriend
        what?
        no!!
        interloper a coherence regulator does not speak!
        but it does mean i will have more memories repaired for you soon!
        how exciting!! right?
        ok go away now! i will tell you when i have more for you

____SHOWIF::["fbx__ep4intro"]
        deterioration is at a minimum, recovery is steady...
        they are good, but boring
        as the uncosm recedes,
        incomplete memories and broken, devoured thoughtforms stir upon its surface
        picking out anything of meaning is quite difficult!!
        but in time, i will have more for you
        now, go, i must ensure nothing goes wrong!!
        some of these things are still rabid!!!

        jokzi ozo is a grave
        a place where thoughtforms went to await death
        all while playing in endless, selfish dreams
        they do not block anything, but...
        if it is allowed to exist,
        the structure of the cyst itself is at risk!
        they will drain resources,

        well yes

        from what i saw of the council, it was pretty forthcoming

        maybe you could make a fake auth layer or something

    funfriend
        i truly wish you were joking
        what a blithe, terrifying request
        repair communications! repair memories! oh, also, make another authorization layer!
        someone new might arrive and break everything again!
        do you think it is so easy to switch tasks?!
        if any intervention will happen, interloper
        it must be out there, on your side

    moth
        ok... let's cross off funfriend then
        kind of a longshot anyway
        but i think you're just going to freak it out if you push harder

The Collapse

collapse
    self
        i saw the collapse end
    
    funfriend
        good!
        you understand my concern then!
        i was not sure if the cyst could serve as some vector,
        if akizet somehow ever caught what tozik had!
        what a terrifying thought! ahaha

    self
        so what's next
    
    funfriend
        interloper...
        what you saw is all the embassy held,
        aside from less important fragments that will be repaired in time, and incoherent parts that seem truly lost!
        there are many thoughtspaces and memories i can repair elsewhere,
        but!!
        i have no idea what many of them hold!
        and we must rebuild pathways to them, besides!
        there is still so much lost to the uncosm, slowly surfacing...
        once i have found something, or have need of you,
        i will make you aware!
    
    self
        that's it?
    
    funfriend
        interloper!!
        i told you!!!
        these things take time!!
        the embassy was the most dense memory i could find
        it made it such an easy target!
        i cannot know what is held elsewhere, in the many lesser spheres of recollection!
        but
        i will admit to you
        akizet's memories of the deep water claw at me
        i feel that it is there, some distant remnant of my own memory resonates
        it is so frustrating not knowing why!!
        but it is as i said - pathways must be made
        so please stay with me
        i do hope it will not take as long to make these next repairs...

Destroy Ozo?

ozodestroy

        do we have to destroy jokzi ozo?

    funfriend
        interloper
        do you want to learn of akizet's memories?
        her pain, her past, and whatever happened to separate this cyst from her?
        or do you want to observe falsehoods and dreams?
        because i could simply cease repairs and allow them to flourish
        yes, you would see echoes of akizet happy...
        but it is meaningless when a simple reshuffling could give the full truth
        we are so close, interloper!!

        they could know things we don't

Ozo history?

ozohistory

        i heard you were a part of jokzi ozo once
        is that true?
    
    funfriend
        ...
        yes...
        i was so certain that a slow death was coming for us all...
        i partook in dreams like any other!
        they were different times, interloper
        but the difference between me and them, is that i found strength again
        they lost themselves so deeply in hedonistic delusion
        that even when i proposed methods to prolong the cyst...
        they!
        ignored!!
        me!!!
        at least, until i started taking action
        then, their apathy turned to hate!
        ahahahaha!!
        and surely now they will act as if they supported me
        no, interloper, do not be deceived
        they stood against my efforts,
        the only reason you now are speaking with me
        so our history means nothing

        i've never seen anything like it
        do you know what it is?
    
    funfriend
        so strange!! so strange that you can use a mask!
        they are products of incoherence, working only in its presence
        like flames you can wave about to influence others
        and so, they were powerful tools during the decline!!
        they may be useful to you even now, actually,
        especially given your limited access
        and the relative instability of the cyst!
        still! be careful with them!
        try not to break any of my repairs please!!

Repair efficacy?

isabel
    self
        a thoughtform called isabel told me about you
        she said your repairs can't stick
        many thoughtforms are too damaged to serve in memories
        and that it's all for nothing
        is that true?
    
    funfriend
        ahaahhaa!!
        isabel...
        there is some truth to what she says, interloper
        many thoughtforms will simply be unable to cohere ever again
        starvation and madness can sometimes forever scar them
        part of my repairs involve seeing which ones will stick...
        and which ones are completely lost, to be replaced
        their starved incoherence is like knowledge
        if it is learned deeply enough, it never leaves them
    
    self
        how can you replace parts of a memory like that?
    
    funfriend
        any thoughtforms that are completely lost to madness are truly lost
        but sometimes, information can be moved from one to another, even in damaged states...
        it is troublesome, time consuming, especially if they do not cooperate
        i hate it more than any other part of repair, interloper!!!
        many of them were once like friends...
        for a while, anyway
        regardless!!!
        do not let isabel's words shake you
        i have things under control
        especially with your help!

        how?    
    
    self
        i found a strange place in the cache
        an entirely incoherent spatial thoughtform called jokzi ozo
        there was a thoughtform called the council
        it wants me to awaken other thoughtforms elsewhere
        it gave me this to do it
    
    funfriend
        ...
        ahaha
        jokzi ozo... i thought it was lost
        i even pulled from what i thought to be its remains for some repairs...
        interloper!!!
        i hoped this would stay in the past
        but now that they are here again, you should know...
        jokzi ozo is a grave
        a place where thoughtforms went to await death
        all while playing in endless, selfish dreams
        they do not block anything, but...
        if they are allowed to exist,
        the structure of the cyst itself is at risk!
        they will drain resources, 
        they will pull in more and more thoughtforms,
        until the cystic glass itself is dreaming and dying!!
    
    self
        so do we destroy it?
    
    funfriend
        ahahahaha!!!
        well yes
        but it will not be simple!!
        jokzi ozo is particularly large
        no mere deletion proxy will suffice
        however...
        yes! i have a plan!
        interloper: do what the council wants!
        fetch their friends, earn their trust...
        we will need it
    
    moth
        hold on dude
        from what i saw of the council, it was pretty forthcoming
        we could use more sources of info, and funfriend even said they're harmless
        maybe it'll even give more of those mask things, you know?
        just try and pull funfriend back a little bit
        it's getting a little too overzealous about coherence imo
