THE (SHARD)BEACH EPISODE 🌊🛹

After a grueling two weeks filled to the brim with pain and suffering, a break is more than deserved. So while Gyles is far from a planner of activities, he'll make sure everyone (even the NPCs. stares directly at Redd.) knows about a world he accidentally stumbled upon. As far as he knows, it doesn't have a name, but do the details really matter???? Absolutely not.

What matters is that this is a beautiful beach by the ocean. The sun's shining, the water's warm enough to swim in, and there's plenty of critters and shells to find among the tide pools and beneath the waves. If you're brave enough, you could even take a boat out on the water! ... but maybe don't do that alone?

Don't have a swimsuit? No problem! There's a beach shack with all the swimwear and beach-goer attire you could possibly want, along with things like sunscreen, fishing gear, inflatable beach toys, and snorkels. Basically if you want it, it's there, I'm sure as hell not gonna stop you. The shack also sells whatever cold treats and snacks your heart desires.

There's also a fire pit, perfect for late night s'mores and stories around a bonfire, and a charcoal barbeque for the cooks among the group. The nearby convenience store doesn't have as wide a selection as W*lmart, but there's a decent selection of meats, veggies, and drinks to choose from.

If you're not one for the sand, then a very short walk away from the shore is surely the biggest skate park anyone's ever seen. If you didn't bring your skateboard or hoverboard with you, that's a-okay because there are plenty that're free to borrow. There's also some rollerskates, if that's more your style.

Relax, unwind, and enjoy the (shard)beach episode, Shardbearers.

So, there's essentially a potential for a backdoor that's been buried in your software, with all of that work he's done.

[ That's what it sounds like to them, really. They can connect the dots on the potentials - their goals are hard-coded into their being, and there are some problems with that, but they do believe that their creator never altered their programming without them knowing. It's a sliver of a positive, but it is one nonetheless over uncertainty - such to the point they don't envy Turo. ]

I can't convince you to speak to the others to go ahead with performing such an in-depth system check, or otherwise assisting you with the others, however...perhaps one day that will change. I'm also not about to tout about how suddenly trustworthy I am, but Tails is unfailingly and unflinchingly kind, as well as extremely knowledgeable for a child. If you can find it within yourself, I would recommend him.

After all, I can't see how living in fear would assuage your worries. And, depending on the issue, there would be risk either way. Just something to consider, hm?

...I suppose that's true. The...program I'm aware of should not be able to meet its trigger conditions as long as I never return to my world. But of course there might be others...

[And of course something could also just go wrong. Maybe he doesn't even know all of the Protocol's triggers. Turo couldn't have planned for a situation like this one, but if something just hits the AI's systems wrong one day...he's staring to breathe more shallowly just thinking about it.]

[ Oh. Void Archives is definitely detecting a distinctly elevated kind of panic over there, which makes them give pause, and then quickly, decisively- ]

Yes, well, there is still quite a bit of time to consider matters more thoroughly, is there not? While these elements should be considered, I don't believe it hurts to...

[ Damn, what do they say. They thought that they could help in making a decision, and maybe did the opposite of helping...classic for them, really. ]

Pace some of the thoughts a little?

[Oh - oh, no, he's doing that thing again. Turo takes a breath and composes himself.]

Yes - yes, of course, I am sorry.

Tsk, tsk. I believe granting you so much blame for that might be unreasonable for even me, hm~? Though I could always find fault nonetheless...I will graciously not.

[ But, they shake their head with a somewhat amused smile, words hinging somewhere more towards the playful sort. Though their next words contain an undeniable serious edge to them. ]

While I have no regrets in my saying something, the inner workings of an individual's struggles with a decision are not to be taken lightly. I understand this.

[ Maybe better now. Though... ]

I also do understand what it means to be bound by what a creator has done unto them. So, while I shall leave it at this for now, I will not cease in my encouragement whenever appropriate, nor my belief that you should see to be free from such potential dangers, at the least. [ However dubious that is, because it is them involved in such matters. ] Do take that to heart.

[He considers this, looking a little thoughtful as he picks their words apart. Turo's observed them to be abrasive before, but he's not really finding that to be the case now. Maybe they just don't enjoy group settings?]

...alright. Thank you.
