I do think about Lodi sending the hello world message but uh only bc (and I say this with the concession that it's not necessarily impossible that Lodi could have come up with the phrase on his own) the use of the phrase Hello World as an input/output test string wasn't A Thing until the mid 1970s. So unless there's some lore bit I missed somewhere, that's always gonna bug me.

do you guys ever think ab how the very first time we heard ab lodi it was in vesper's host and the transmission was the response the anomaly picked up after sending out the "Hello, world" signal. do you guys ever think about how lodi was sent to our time when he literally answered the call from the nine. do you ever think about how his higher purpose was to become the Open Phoneline between our world and the next. do you ever think about how, at the end of everything, he finally got to reach through and reconnect with the people he loved most
