RS,ESV PRIVATE 1

**RS:** I’ve figured out how to repair my damaged wires. Now I can work without stopping.

**ESV:** For real this time?

**GM:** Oh, that’s good! I’m glad your wires are all gonna get fixed up!!

**RS:** Yes. I’ve been collecting scrap materials from around my region. I’ve extracted the necessary parts, and it will be repaired soon.

**IE:** Oh. I never thought about wires ever breaking. Something has to get into the system most likely and it can't happen by any bugs or anything getting in the system.

**RS:** I… may have created a very corrosive venom and given it to a breed of lizard.

**RS:** And ESV, I have other good news. My jet vultures have retrieved a peice of vine from Yarn. I’ve split it in two, so we can each analyze it.

**ESV:** Oh! That's great, actually. Should I have my Ceraunophile collect it, or are your vultures going to send it instead?

**RS:** The vultures are on their way.

**RS:** I need to start analysing this right away-

**RS:** … I mean, when the seniority lock is lifted.

**ESV:** Alright, I'll start looking into it when it arrives and try to keep you updated until those cycles are up.

**RS:** …I don’t know what we’re going to do about him. He’s not even Yarn anymore.

**ESV:** Right now? I'm doubt there's much, if anything, we can do. Hopefully we can come up with some kind of cure and then think of what to do from there.

**RS:** Agreed.

**RS:** Okay, the wires are back on and power is restored to full. I still feel tired…

**ESV:** Maybe your puppet needs some time to recharge after so long of having less power?

**RS:** My puppet is recharged. Still tired.

**ESV:** Strange... has there been any permanent damage to your power cell? Or your puppet, for that matter?

**RS:** No. I just… feel exhausted.

**ESV:** I... I'm not sure how to help you, then. If you're certain that things are functional then what could be the cause?

**RS:** I think I may just be worn out…

**RS:** I cannot rest yet… not while Yarn is like this…

**ESV:** ...Except for the fact that Adrift quite literally forced you to.

**RS:** …

## [LIVE BROADCAST] Private: Revising Synthesis, Endless Starlit Void

**RS:** I will not let Adrift tell me what to do.

**ESV:** I understand the frustration, but what can you do about it? Adrift has seniority privileges, and there's obviously nothing I can do to even try to override it.

**RS:** I’ve bypassed the seniority restrictions. He will not prevent me from fixing my mistakes.

**ESV:** I- but how? As far as I was aware, there's no way to get around it.

**RS:** The details aren’t important right now. Just promise me you won’t tell him.

**ESV:** …

**ESV:** I'm... I won't tell him. I-I guess I don't full see a reason to cause any extra drama...

**RS:** Thank you.

**ESV:** You... *do* realize how suspicious you are sounding though, right?

**RS:** …

**ESV:** "Details aren't important right now"?

**ESV:** I... I guess I won't pry. There are more important things to worry about.

**RS:** Agreed. I will begin running tests on the vine immediately.

**ESV:** I will do the same.

**RS:** Thank you for your assistance.

## xxxx.020 Log: ENDLESS STARLIT VOID [Audio File]

I'm... I'm not even sure if I should be putting this on a log. What if it's discovered? What if someone who isn't supposed to hear it does? But... I suppose nobody has found out about any of my old logs. Hah, not even my really old ones from around my activation, I... I think it's safe to put it here.

I've always been personally... uncomfortable with the idea of being stripped of my purpose as Revising has been by Adrift. I can't even begin to imagine how it must be, but... when the topic came up, Revising pulled the conversation aside to a private broadcast. It... I... He told me that he found a way around the restrictions, but refused to explain how. It was incredibly suspicious but... surely I can trust him, right? All of the iterators I've known for a while now... Revising, Speckles, Adrift, and others... I can trust them. At least, I certainly hope I can, because I... I agreed to keep his secret from Adrift. I'm not sure if it was the right thing, but... can we really afford more drama, especially drama that's completely unnecessary if I just kept quiet? I doubt it, so I'll stay silent about it. There are more pressing matters to worry about, like trying to research the sample of the vines that Revising managed to get a hold of from Yarn's corrupted puppet.

...I'm still curious about how he managed to bypass the termination though. Should I be concerned as well..? What else is he capable of, if he's able to override a senior's override..? I'm... I don't know, and the fact that I don't know is bothering me. Alas, I told him I wouldn't pry. Even then, I'm not sure how I'd even try to ask. I just hope he knows what he's doing...
