Wh... huh??? Reactivating? How in the-

[SYSTEM RECOVERED. REACTIVATING NOW.]

HEY, HOLD ON! HOW-

[COMPLETE. STATUS: ONLINE.]

(Hmm... darn. Looks like it didn't quite work. Maybe if I modify... eh? What was that buzz-)

(...Oh dear. I forgot to include you, Koios. I'm so sorry.)

(I'm just testing something out with him, alright? I'm trying to see if there's a way that I can help get him and Panni back together without needing Scribe deactivated.)

(Although based on the fact that the entire interface I'm using for this seems frozen, I might have to cancel it early... but don't worry! He should be fine!)

Steven, this better be worth it...

What am I supposed to do? Just wander?

also scribe you might wanna chill out for a second you've been back for almost a week or 2 😭

NO.

(I'd rather not say how.)

I'm about to shock you.

(Alright! I got back to thinking about my squip holding capsule and thought maybe I can show it to the higher ups and see if they liked it or not. Things went horribly wrong when it came to Observer's time in there, given how they were when they first connected to the Internet, so I was quite nervous about it, but not only did the guys at Sony like it, but they wanted me join their squip team.)

And you accepted!

(Yup. Currently I just help in making upgrades and stuff. Small things. Interestingly enough, they got quiet when I mentioned that I used to have a squip from their "humanlike testing batch." Wonder why.)

Hm. Perhaps because-

(Scribe, I know what you're gonna say, I'm not THAT dependent on-)

That's what I'M saying! Steven, tell me what you've been doing while I was deactivated, NOW.

(Tell me you won't be mad first.)

STEVEN, I WILL GET THE INFORMATION MYSELF IF I HAVE TO.

(...Well for one thing, I may or may not be helping make updates and stuff for now?)

WHY ARE YOU SAYING THAT.

Great to be back, I suppose...

(Hey! We're not done with your checks, I want to make sure your systems are alright after that.)
