Log 008//: Questioning Things and a Riddle

[/Filter: Zelkova]

[with the way things had been procceding in Kite's life at Paradisa, there was one thing that he still didn't understand. Zelkova was from his future, so maybe he had the answer.]

"And with the turbulent destruction after the Wave only a void remains. From deep within the void arrives Corbenik."

Zelkova, w-what was Ovan's goal? W-why wouldn't he l-let me Data Drain the Tri-Edge AIDA?

I-I saw your f-filter t-to me, b-but I was u-under a Loss and c-could not respond and o-other events h-happend. Ah...I-I have not asked a-anyone i-if they would play a g-game with me yet.

[Kite pauses, realizing that Colette most likely doesn't know what he sounds like.]

T-this is Kite.

[Filter: Colette]

[Those filters done, Kite decides to adress the residents themselves. To those who know the AI, he sounds unusually chipper but that's because he's turned up his happiness files.]

I-I have a riddle for everyone t-today.

Over the Keel Mountains,
Meets an ape with human speech.
The ape asks,
"What clings to you?
Bear it—you cannot.
Accept it—you cannot.
But hidden—it is from you.
Recite its name."

F-filter your answer t-to me, 'Kite', w-when you t-think you k-know it. D-don't tell anyone else w-what it b-because that wouldn't b-be fair.

I see you've been reading the Epitaph of Twilight. :)

Ovan's goal was a complicated one, to be sure. His sister, Aina, was the first person who was put into a coma by his AIDA infection. I believe that he felt personally responsible for the AIDA infection spreading as rapidly as it was. So much so that it couldn't be completely eliminated by you and your compatriots, so he sought the help of his friend and guildmate, Haseo.

In building up Haseo's power, Ovan knew that Haseo's Epitaph, Skeith would have the strength to trigger Corbenik's "Rebirth" ability. He hoped to use this ability to clear AIDA from the 'net as a whole, as well as from all those who became "Lost Ones".

Stubborn though his approach was, it was an effective one. In doing what he did, not only did he save The World, but he provided Haseo the strength to cope with the threat that appeared soon after; Cubia.

I'd answer your riddle, but I think I have an unfair advantage ;)
