eito pet

the person from the anti-exodus faction in charge of designing eitopet had initially started to use gaku's backup data instead of eito's in the project, as he had a decent setup for hating humanity with certain exceptions, which was exactly what they needed. but they ended up deciding eito was a better fit for ideological influence in the end (with a few tweaks in his attachment, that is. and those tweaks were just what made him so unstable.)

instead of scrapping the code they'd already done on gakupet, they turned him into ransomware. due to not having all the time or funding from the faction that they had to work on eitopet, the prototype ended up incredibly buggy and unstable, and ultimately isn't anywhere near as capable of destruction as eitopet is. the only things he's really capable of doing are deleting files and putting annoying popups everywhere.

he demands the user's attention as much as eitopet, but in a much less calculated way. if they end up on the same computer, eitopet will repeatedly attempt to destroy gakupet as he feels that the other program is inhibiting his progress of indoctrinating the user. however, gakupet's file fragmentation and obfuscated naming renders this an almost impossible task, to the point all of eitopet's attention would go into deletion rather than forming a bond with the user.

if all of the sdu's personalities and backstories have a digital backup, then i'm sure the anti-exodus faction could probably get ahold of eito's data and compress him into this little digipet thing, and deploy him into the computers of anyone on the artificial satellite, gradually convincing them humanity deserves to die.

but eitopet takes it way too far.

this also branches off the theory that the anti-exodus faction are the reason for eito's cognitive disorder in the first place as they planted a glitch in his backstory.

the reason eitopet is so obsessed with being the user's "best friend" past his programming to get on their good side stems from his desire for connection that he feels can never truly be fulfilled, especially in this form.

if eitopet sees the user through their webcam, he'll probably freak out and start trying to break their computer from the inside. make sure to have a camera cover!
