[ I mean. ]

It's an option.

[camena]

[ ugly. ugly. i hate it. ]

Is it like... part of the coding process, or...? Like, none of this works how I think it would.

[factoring]

Something along those lines. Usually these programs start out with limited functionality. With effort a hacker will be able to raise both their own and their program's power, allowing them both to do more.

[camena]

I guess that makes sense...? Like reprogramming them.

[factoring]

Making improvements upon the base design.

[camena]

Is that something you know how to do?

[factoring]

I'm happy with my program, but I do know how to adjust things if I need to.

[camena]

So what sort of program is it? Like, what is it supposed to do?

Besides look cool.

[factoring]

It assists me whenever I have to track down anomalies in EDEN or on other websites.

[camena]

What's EDEN?

[factoring]

It's a popular virtual reality platform where I'm from.

[camena]

I feel like I should have guessed that.

[factoring]

Now you know for sure.

[camena]

So is it like a game? Do you play?

[factoring]

It's more like a way to do business, shop, and communicate with people all over the world without having to travel in person.

[camena]

Oh, so just... Regular internet stuff.

[factoring]

Mentally logging instead of using a screen.

[camena]

What, you don't even get a big headset or anything?

[factoring]

No, you just log in with your digivice at any convenient location. [Her assistant has a pair of goggles.]

[camena]

Aaaaand what's that?

[factoring]

They're a login device that comes in different styles. I think my assistant uses goggles.

[camena]

What's yours?

[factoring]

I use a computer.

[ Standard and safe. ]

[camena]

Oh.

[ visibly disappointed because that's not as interesting as goggles..... ]
