*** > It’s… complicated.
**** Amir: i fuggin love complicated
**** Amir: i memorized the entire fables & frontiers 87d fablemaster rulebook
**** Amir: Try me i eat this shit UP
**** > Right. The Corpus.
***** They're this group of robot-loving, profit-obsessed plutocrafts. Whatever gets them a credit, they'll do it.
***** They're currently run by this guy named Parvos Granum, who grew up a poor farmer in the Orokin era but started the Corups profit cult.
***** He'd be long dead by now, and everybody thought he was assassinated, but he escaped to the "Granum Void" so he's possibly secretly nuts?
***** But one thing's for sure, he wouldn't be above cutting a deal with the Sentients. Another Corpus, Alad V, already did.
***** Oh yeah, the Sentients are this artifical race - you'd call them robots - who are usually evil, but except for the Lotus, who isn't, but is based on -

******** Amir: ::cracks knuckles::: lets DO this baybeeeee {Convo. Ends}
**** > Well, we’ve got the Grineer
**** > So, the Sentients.
***** The Sentients are this artificial race, that weren;t supposed to be, well, sentient, made by the Orokin, way back in time.
***** I guess not back in time for you? In the future to you? Time travel.
***** Anyway, artificial race. They were sent to Tau to terraform it for the Orokin. They thought the Orokin would lay waste to Tau just like they had the Origin System, so they declared war.
***** Only Natah got captured and held prisoner on Lua until Ballas imprinted Margulis's persona and appearance on to her so he could control the Tenno.
***** Because of the kids who were stuck on board of the Zariman and because of her relationship with *him* and-

******** Amir: ::cracks knuckles::: lets DO this baybeeeee {Convo. Ends}
**** > Okay. The Orokin.
***** They ruled the Origin System. Some of them figured out how to live forever using this ritual called Continuity.
***** Where they’d swap their consciousness into somebody else’s body using this stuff called Kuva.
***** But the Grineer are after Kuva now, because the Orokin were nearly eliminated during the Old War – there’s this one Orokin in particular who was a serious asshole -
***** Named Ballas, who was in charge of the warframes and made most of them, along with Entrati? Who’s also Orokin? But he – Ballas – and Margulis were also a thing.
***** Who was the lady that the Lotus resembles, but isn’t, because the Lotus is actually a Sentient, which is a kind of artificial race, who are usually kind of evil, but she’s-

*** Amir: what‘s your favorite kind of game?
*** Amir: like board? card? arcade? video?
*** > I really only had board games. And by that… I mean I really only had one board game.
**** Amir: i love board games – i mean, i love all games, i just never really get a chance to play board games much anymore
**** Amir: since nobody’ll play them with me after the incident with the expansion pack rule book of Ocelots in Space 4
**** Amir: ooh!! how about this – you teach me your game and i‘ll teach you one of mine? :D

== Amir: “sup, drifter” (R2C4) ==
* Amir: sup, drifter
* Amir: gotta second?
* > Sorry, talk later. [End]
* > Yeah?
** Amir: ok so don’t laugh but i‘m designing a video game in my spare time
** > You really should get better hobbies, man.
** > That’s cool!
*** Amir: you... really think so?
*** > [unrecorded 'actually no' response]
*** > Yeah, of course.
**** Amir: ... awesome
**** [Conversation continues as "there's this bit" below]
** > Why would I laugh?
*** Amir: i mean i‘m not trying to pop a bottle of bubbly at the pity party
*** Amir: but everybody else does, so why wouldn’t you?
*** > Yikes.
*** > I am not going to judge people for what they do in their spare time, trust me… Don’t get me started on Duviri.
**** Anyway. Your game?
**** Amir: there‘s this bit of it that i can’t figure out what i wanna do with it
**** Amir: i was wondering if i could talk you through the issue and maybe you can help me come up with a solution
**** Amir: rattle off more ideas at any of the hex i think they’re gonna stuff me in a dumpster lol
**** > I’d rather eat my old socks.
**** > I’d love to help.
***** [Same as "Sure, go ahead."]
**** > Sure, go ahead.
***** Amir: sw33t
***** Amir: Soooooo okay i‘ve gotten into this problem with *doors*, right?
***** > Go on.
****** [Convo. continues at "OKAY"]
***** > Doors…?
****** Amir: THEY’RE SUPER COMPLICATED
****** Amir: OKAY so i want this to be multiplayer but i also want it to be an exploration platformer game so some doors open and some doors don’t but some doors are LOCKED until you have a KEY right?
****** > You could try-
****** > Right…?
******* Amir: okay so how do i communicate what doors are decorative and which ones are just locked and what do i do if one player has a key and the other one doesn’t and what do i do if one player goes through a door and the other one doesn’t do i like teleport that other player?!?!
******* > Well,
******** [Same as "I mean-"]
******* > I mean-
******** Amir: i guess i could just make KEYS a global state and just make it highest takes precedence, right? like if somebody in your group has a key everybody in your group benefits, it’s kind of an exploit but key it means higher ranked people will just help lower ranked people that’s not a bad thing, power fantasy right
******** > Okay, and
********* [Same as "Right, but"]
******** > Right, but
********* Amir: and as for communicating locked i guess i could just have a lock show up for a second and a KNOCKKNOCK sound effect play if it’s locked, and if it’s decorative it’s just not interactive, y’know? YEAH that works!!
********* > ...
********** Amir: AND OH I KNOW if someone is ready to move ahead but somebody else is lagging i can just pop up text that’s like “x number of players are waiting for you.” kind of thing, and just gently nudge the laggers to kind of hurry up. PERFECT!!
********** Amir: THIS HAS BEEN SO HELPFUL, THANKS!! YOU’RE THE BEST!!
********** > You’re… welcome? {Convo. Ends}
********** > Yeah, um. Anytime.
********* > …....... {For the record, there are 10 dots. I COUNTED}
== Amir: "soooooo don't laaaaauuuuuugh" (R3C6) ==
* Amir: soooooo don't laaaaauuuuuugh
* Amir: but i'm developing my own video game, right?
* Amir: AND IT'S GONNA BE SUPER COOL
* > That sounds like a fun project, actually.
** Amir: YEAH its great to chew on in between going out and causing rampant property destruction and mass murder hahahahaha I'M FINE
** Amir: anyway i was wondering if you'd mind helping me with the game?
** > Sure.
*** Amir: all you gotta do is sit there
*** Amir: while i rant at your face at 9000 mph while i talk through problems
*** > And this is different from normal... how? :P
**** Amir: ouch lol
**** Amir: TRUE AND FUNNY
**** Amir: but ouch lol
**** Amir: ok ok ok so the game i figured design what you know, you know?
**** Amir: and what do i know a lot of right now? running around shooting things and looting things
**** Amir: but i'm having a real hard time with the - like - with the getting AROUND the levels right?
**** > Right.
***** Amir: like it seems super limiting to just be running around glued to the floor shooting things when there are buildings and cool stuff
***** Amir: and i started this as a sidescroller but there's some really cool awesome stuff in 3D now which is totally mindbending and i wanna play with it
***** > Amir
***** Amir: and so i put everything in 3D and the buildings are super cool now but everything feels super claustrophobic being stuck close to the ground but
***** Amir: i dunno what to do instead and it seems really limiting to just do like sprint and double jump and like your usual stamina stuff and
***** > Amir
***** Amir: i feel like the answer is right in front of my face but i'm missing it somehow but
***** > AMIR
***** Amir: WHAT
***** > Make them warframes.

== Amir: “so i changed the entire genre of the game” (also R3C6) ==
*Amir: so i changed the entire genre of the game
*Amir: it‘s not an exploration platformer anymore it’s a looter shooter
*Amir: But that door stuff still was important though so thanks for that lol
*> I don’t have time right now, sorry. [End]
*> You just really like to skip the “hellos” don’t you.
**Amir: right yeah sorry lol hi hello yes how are you i‘m good thanks
**> You must’ve been hell on the babysitter.
**> K. Right. Anyway. Why the change?
***Amir: ok ok ok so the game i figured design what you know, you know?

*> What’s a… looter shooter?
== Amir: “so i have a question but it's attached to a story first so strap in” (R3C2) ==
* Amir: so i have a question but it's attached to a story first so strap in
* Amir: so i was taking some notes on some code i was working on on some pieces of paper on my desk right
* Amir: and quincy came over and took the pieces of paper and used them for target practice because he "didn't see anything important on them"
* Amir: "just nonsense"
* Amir: like what
* Amir: w h a t t h e a c t u a l
* Amir: fffffff
* Amir: then he laughed at me when i was upset
* Amir: this is why i like machines more than people
* Amir: ... well, except you, you're cool
* Amir: but you don't count, you spend most of your time INSIDE machines
* Amir: that... were... people... ANYWAY
* Amir: um. shit. i forgot my question. gimmie a hot second
* > Holy shit, buddy. You okay?
** Amir: NO i'm upset
** Amir: i remember my question though
** Amir: can you have computers as friends in the future? real friends?
** > Kind of. Cephalons aren't exactly "computers" but they're close enough for what you're thinking.
*** Amir: what're cephalons?
*** > Digital glass brains, kind of. A person that was stripped of their body and reprogrammed.
*** > It was an execution method and a fate worse than death, but they're a person preserved as a sort of computer.
*** Amir: ....whoa
*** Amir: that's AWESOME
*** > I think you skimmed over some parts of what I typed, Amir.

** > Amir, seriously, you're obsessed.
*** Amir: yeah well it's part of the gig of being me i guess
*** Amir: have a thought and there it is and i'm gonna follow it
*** Amir: there was something you said about them that i NEEEEED to know more about
*** > No, and I'm sick of you asking about them. *Stop.*
*** > You're not going to let this go, are you?
**** Amir: NOOOOOOPE
**** Amir: who made them?*1
**** > Monsters.
***** Amir : look, bippy, if you're not gonna give me real answers
***** Amir: there's a lot of other things i can be doing with my free time
***** Amir: like games
***** Amir: or annoying quincy
***** Amir: which is also basically a game lol
***** > Why're you so interested in cephalons ?
****** Amir: you said they used to be people, but are now digital and edited, right?
****** Amir: like all the bad code was removed?
****** > I feel like you're focusing on the wrong part here.
******* Amir: right okay so maybe the orokin's motives were bad but the method ITSELF isn't bad
******* Amir: like if somebody invented a ray gun that cured cancer but also they could use it to turn people into zombies
******* Amir: would you never use it to cure cancer ever again, if you could turn off the "and also zombies" setting?
******* Amir: are cephalons themselves evil? or are they good "people"?
******* > Some of them are my best friends.
******* > Where are you going with this?
******** Amir: i'm just saying that the monster in the story wasn't evil, the man who made him out of corpses WAS
******** Amir: we can agree on the fact the oro-whoozy-kin-whowevers who did the reprogramming
******** Amir: were probably not the people who should be doing it, yeah? the orokin should NOT have been in charge of of the process
******** Amir: or should be? will be? fuggin time travel ffffk whatever you get where i'm going
******** > I think we can agree on that, yeah.
******** > No. I think that cephalons shouldn't ever be made.
********* Amir: but why? think about it
********* Amir: what if you had a terminal illness or were super important and smart
********* Amir: it's like they invented the cure for cancer and used it to torture people how didn't they see what they had?!
********* Amir: it's IMMORTALITY but BETTER
********* Amir: live forever as the best version of yourself
********* Amir: sign. me. up.
********* > It does sound kind of awesome now that you put it that way.
********** Amir: RIGHT?
********** Amir: gotta think this through make some notes talk later
********* > And who gets to decide what the best version of yourself is?
********* > And who gets to decide who lives forever?
******** > Honestly, it was their design. They had the right to use it how they wanted to.
****** > And *forced into servitude.*
***** > The Orokin *were* monsters, Amir. Like I said earlier, they created cephalons as a punishment worse than death.
**** > The Orokin. An ancient race that used to rule the Origin System. Well, *will* rule the Origin System.
*** > Sure.
** > What about them?
*** Amir: there was something you said about them that i NEEEEED to know more about

**** Amir: who made them?
**** > Monsters.
**** > The Orokin. An ancient race that used to rule the Origin System. Well, *will* rule the Origin System.
***** > Time travel.
***** Amir: right you said cephalons were a form of punishment worse than death, yeah
***** Amir: so i take it the orokin were total asshats
***** > One way of putting it.
****** Amir: anyway like okay so the orokin made the cephalons and the orokin were the ones who edited their brains?
****** Amir: like all the bad code was removed?
****** > I feel like you're focusing on the wrong part here.

************ [Continues same as "sense of humor"]
*********** > What if a person is self-conscious about their sense of humor? So they say "make me never feel joy again."
************ > Are they really themselves anymore? Who is left behind?

***** Amir: when you get turned into a cephalon

*************** There's this "Cephalon Weave" that they become a part of. They don't really have physical bodies like we think of.
*************** They're also programmed with "precepts" or life missions - sometimes they choose them themselves, other times they're... forced to have them
*************** Amir: like what?
**************** > Like Ordis.
***************** He... used to be very different, when he was a person. Very *very* different.
***************** But when the man he was pissed off the Orokin, they edited him and made him serve the Tenno. Protect the kids like me.
***************** Amir: sooo the orokin people are the ones who did the code edits
***************** Amir: entrati used to be orokin, didn't he? or...will be...or was..or is?

**** He was a mercenary in service to the Orokin.
**** They brought him to the great chamber, and... offered to make him an Orokin like them.
**** Amir: wow... refused all that power and wealth and immortality? dude was hella dope
**** > He just hated them that much.
***** So he killed every single one he could get his hands on. Or so he thought he did. But Orokin are very, very hard to kill.
***** Trust me.
***** So... they glassed him.
***** And made him chipper. And happy. And loyal. And gone is the bloody mercenary that was.
***** Amir: holy shit... so how much of the original ordis is left?
***** > He doesn't even remember he used to be someone else.
***** Amir: they can take memories, too? i guess that makes sense... rewrite the code, rewrite the hard drive...
***** Amir: but i still think the concept of cephalons are awesome

** Amir: something other than the bees in my head
** > No.
** > Okay.
*** Amir: thanks
*** Amir: seriously
*** Amir: it's just hard for me to explain why i can't stop fixating on them i guess
*** > I get it. You think you'd be better at being in charge of the "programming."
**** Amir: nah i shouldn't have that kind of power i know that
**** Amir: nobody should it seems like absolute power corrupts absolutely yadda yadda
**** Amir: as tempting as it'd be to say otherwise and say OOH YEAH NO I WOULDN'T BE THE BADDIE
**** Amir: who can really say for sure? look at rusalka and vodyanoi. look at entrati. none of them woke up one morning being like Y'KNOW WHAT
**** Amir: I'M GONNA BE THE ASSHOLE FROM NOW ON
**** Amir: i'm gonna bet even the orokin thought they were doing the right thing the whole time
**** Amir: so, nah, my ego's not that big believe me
**** > Take your time.
***** Amir: do you know what it's like to live your life knowing your head is broken
***** Amir: knowing that there's something wrong with you that you can't fix without meds that sometimes work and sometimes make everything ELSE so much worse
***** Amir: that people can't stand to be around you because of it
***** Amir: always left wondering are these people really my friends
***** Amir: or
***** Amir: or is it just pity
***** Amir: so yeah i know cephalons are MESSED. UP.
***** Amir: but give the opportunity to go in and... and just...
***** Amir: and just fix myself?
***** Amir: just get into the parts of my code that don't work and just
***** Amir: fix it?
***** Amir: of course i'm gonna be tempted..
***** Amir: so...
***** Amir: so yeah...
***** Amir: that's why...
***** > Oh, Amir...
****** > So, there's a cephalon I know named Ordis.
****** > He lives onboard the orbiter and was programmed by the Orokin to protect the Tenno.
****** > But that isn't who he used to be.
****** Amir: oh?
****** > Back in the day, he was Ordan Karris, a mercenary who made a name for himself working for the Orokin.
******* > He was programmed not only to protect and serve the Tenno...
******* > But to love us.
******* Amir: oh no...
******* > Every time he almost remembers who he was, he forces himself to forget again.
******** Amir: why?!
******** > Because when he starts to recall what it was like to be Ordan, he feels *hate.*
******** > He feels *anger* again.
******** > And he starts to lose the love he feels for the Tenno. For me. For us.
******** > So in a desperate attempt to keep hold of that love, he... deletes those memories.
******** > HE. FIXES. HIMSELF.
******** > And I'm left wondering... is any of it real?
******** Amir: what do you mean...?
******** > Would Ordan Karris even be my friend?
********* > Would he even *like* me at all?
********* > I understand wanting to fix the broken parts of yourself.
********* > I truly do. But like *this?* By removing all choice from yourself? All ability to change?
********* > No matter what, Ordis can never *not* be my friend. He will always be forced to love me.
********* > If you reprogrammed yourself to be "perfect...
********* > Would I be left wondering the same thing about you?
********* Amir: i... i'm so sorry...
********* Amir: i really had no idea...
********* Amir: 'n now i'm here sniffling..
********* Amir: yeah i think i... i'm good, and i'm gonna leave this cephalon stuff alone now...
********* Amir: i can just be good 'ol obnoxious amir for the forseeable future of... one... endlessly looping year... forever... um... yeah that didn't help things at all
********* Amir: hey i suddenly need CARBS and i'm betting you might too
********* Amir: let's go grab some munchies, yeah? {Convo. Ends}
******** > If someone programs themselves to love you, is it real?
******* > He doesn't have a CHOICE but to be my friend because of what the Orokin did.
****** > He was called the Beast of Bones. He was a bloody mass-murderer whose real name was Ordan Karris.
***** > Holy shit, are you serious?
**** > What is it, then?
*** > I get it. We're all afraid to die.
*** > I get it. It's nice to think about not being trapped here.
*** > I get it. You think it'd be fun to be a computer.
**** Amir: beep boop

* Amir: so i was wondering if we could talk about it... if that's okay...?
* >I'm always here for you.
** Amir: thanks, that means the world to me.
** Amir: so i know when i tried to tell you what happened to me after entrati gave me that vial
** Amir: i just... couldn't quite get through the story
** Amir: and i'm so sorry about that it's just so hard for me to talk about
** Amir: but none of the nightmares will make sense if i don't... tell uou the rest of what happened, so...
** Amir: so here goes
** Amir: i shot the vial into my leg
** Amir: and the *pain*
** Amir: the memory of it it still wakes me up sometimes
** Amir: like ants crawling through your veins, under your skin, inside your eyeballs, biting you everywhere
** Amir: too many legs inside your organs, scratching, skittering, trying to escape
** Amir: i had to get it OUT
** Amir: GET THEM ALL OUT OF ME
** Amir: i don't even really think i saw the scaldra regiment that had me cornered...
** Amir: not really...
** Amir: but i could smell them

*** Amir: i remember his voice though "focus on me"
*** Amir: "hit me" "burn me" "i can take it"
*** Amir: i don't... remember a lot of what came after that...
*** Amir: i just remember sitting on the ground in an alley, weeping
*** Amir: arthur holding me tight like i was coming down from some lsd trip
*** Amir: and i remember the charred corpses of the scaldra

*** Amir: mouths open in screams i can still hear when i'm sleeping
*** Amir: that's... well... a bunch of those scars he has?
*** >Yeah...?
*** >Oh, no...
**** Amir: all my fault
**** Amir: in my nightmares last night, we fought like normal, but... instead, i killed him, too
**** Amir: electrocuted him and burned him to bits like the scaldra
**** Amir: but he didn't stay dead, eyes exploded in his sockets, lips blackened, and he kept talking to me
**** Amir: "this is all your fault" "we're all dead because of you" "if only you were smarter" "if only you were faster"
**** Amir: it just kept ringing in my head though, one phrase "all my fault" if i hadn't given entrati the info on the reactor...
**** >He would've gotten it another way without you. He set you up for this. I'd bet money he gave you up to the O.R.O.

*****Amir: i mean, unless you had some sort of like... universal hack translator... thingy...
*****Amir: like a SUPER DUPER FLOPPY DISK or something that you could just shove in there and go WAM lol not like they use floppy disks in the future

You can activate different options by checking through the calendar versus the KIM list of chats:
* > Amir! You have successfully completed another circuit around Sol! Congratulations!
** Amir: Oh PHSAWW! thaaaanks but it was nothing!! the planet did most of the hard work, I was just along for the ride {Convo. Ends}
* > It's your birthday, Amir! Maybe a good time to do some growing up?

* > GREETINGS AMIR CONGRATULATIONS ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF YOUR COMMENCEMENT OF EXISTENCE
** Amir: CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE STATEMENT OF PROFOUND THANKS AND FOND APPRECIATION {Convo. Ends}
