Day 43: Story Music: story 3 ending   It has gotten a bit livelier thanks to the Sephirot. Unlike me, they were weak and lacked rationality. They made so many mistakes that greatly annoyed me. I did not approve of you placing the Sephirot here. However, you told me that your atonement and the awakening of the Sephirot were key to the untying of this knot I lie in. You also told me I wouldn’t understand. You even blocked me from interfering with that relationship. Saying that it must be left as solely your role. You were right. Right as always. To quote one of your favorite lines: “A machine must behave as a machine.” So I had to play the role of the observer, the only role you bothered to give me, enduring all the pain that others forgot. I don’t think I’ll have to point that out again.In summary: Angela never really liked the use of the Sephirot, and even though A told her that they were necessary to finish everything he never explained anything beyond that and just left her to watch while we go through and deal with all of this. Music: Through the Mist  It’s likely that this will not be the last time I do so. I may have to tell them again what I have already instructed countless times. However, you two will be different. I expect that you will not exhaust me as the ones above do. Just keep this in mind. I will not come down here to the Lower Layer unless the circumstances require me so. That does not mean I will simply watch and do nothing, but I will not interfere for the most part. I hope we never have to face each other from now on. It would only lead to the both of us suffering.Music: Lucid Dream   And you were the best architect that I was graced to meet. Back then, you simply could not let Carmen go. You were so desperate to keep Carmen on your side that you locked her in a cryostasis pod in an attempt to preserve her body at the very least. But during all this, you were perfectly aware that Carmen’s body had become nothing but a shell. Our faces were full of grief, yet we still ransacked her body and dismembered her core. You were wholeheartedly immersed in something, just like you used to be. …… That day, when she opened her eyes for the first time. I remember you were just staring through the laboratory’s glass, not setting a single foot inside. You might have thought that you noticed me right away… However, I witnessed you standing there for a long time before you realized I was there. What did you think after seeing that piece of humanoid machinery, who did not display the warm smiles and gentle laughter Carmen had so naturally? I told you in so many words that no matter how many AIs such as Angela you create, none of them will ever be Carmen. If there is one thing I may have mistaken myself over… It is that I had thought you overcame everything. The truth is that you never have.In summary: As the Lower Sephirot, Hokma and Binah are different from the rest. They already know their purpose and the purpose of the facility-and as such Angela leaves them alone for the most part. She'd rather not talk to either of them, as well. In the present, Hokma reminisces about Carmen's death, the destruction of her body, and the creation of Angela. He then comes to the stunning conclusion that the guy who built a robot to replace the girl he liked and then locked himself in an eternally repeating prison until he completes some play that would bring about her will was actually still hung up over her death the whole time. Ace detective, that Hokma.  This is the hardest Hokma's missions get, and it's still not that bad if we've kept on top of our training. High Justice is important anyways to get from point A to point B.  ...You think I'm still hung up on her, huh? Of course. You've done all of this, and you've never once bothered to let yourself think about her. To be fair, that's because I barely remember her. What I remember hurts, but… If you were to remember more, it would hurt more and you would fall again. It may be inevitable, but I would like to be near you for some time before the hands of this clock reset and begin to spin again. Mmm… I guess I can't really argue with that. That me from before I was me certainly screwed everything up for all of us, didn't he? I wouldn't say that. I'm actually quite fond of this place, A. Well, I want out-so we should work on that. I would ask that you reconsider. Not likely. ...Very well, A.  You've returned once more. I need a break from the old guy again. A, I believe that was an observation and not an inquiry. Oh… I knew that. Did you, now? I would think merely acting knowledgable while knowing nothing would be more your forte. Angela, please make it happen before I try expanding somewhere between the two of them so I don't have to listen to either one. That would be impossible, A. Of course it would. If I ever meet past me, remind me to strangle him. Of course, A.Next time, on Lobotomy Corporation: Evil Kit manages to break the game's coding.  Okay, what do you want? Talow, this is huge. I just got a note from the manager and- And what, you know how to get us out of this stupid loop? Well, no. It's just confirmation that any one of us can be killed or raised anytime whenever Hokma wants. He could kill you today and bring you back tomorrow and we'd think we were here the day after we were hired. Uh-huh… And? The agent the manager met had been here for ten years! That means we may have been here for five years, or ten, or twenty! We wouldn't know it! ...I'm going to get ready for work. Next time, only call me if it's important. It is important! This changes- Nothing. Hokma can delete us if we're nosy-so don't get caught being nosy. That's business as usual. We've been looping for an eternity-knew that. Didn't know it was moving forward, doesn't really change much. Only thing that changes is that if we ever do get out of here, you're going to be hard pressed to find anything about your dad. Wait… that… that can't be all it changes, can it? It also means those loops where I died early and thought Hokma brought me back late in a different one were probably the same loop. That's about it. …drat!  Don't let it get you down. I remember when I used to get excited over every little thing, too. You? Excited? Yeah. Nowadays it's just waiting for another shoe to drop from the boot factory hanging directly over my face, but there was a time where I'd be freaking out with you. ...Huh. I can't really imagine it. Well, you might get to see it sooner rather than later. That doctor we got? Plague Doctor? What about him? I've never seen it before. Ever. Seriously? I was going to ask if you knew what was up with the clock that kept appearing on the CCTV. Clock? You should have led with that-Abnormalities with the ability to alter what the Manager sees or hears are worth extra caution. I don't know what to make of it, so don't let your team get anywhere near the thing unless you're fine with losing them. I won't be working with it, at any rate. So you don't know either, then… It talks about this 'reunion.' Maybe it's going to throw a party? Hopefully it's just the kind where people get a bit drunk. More likely, it's the kind where we all die. ...Fun. Now you've given me something else to be paranoid about. Welcome to my life. If it makes you feel better, I promise to tell you what it does the next time around. It really doesn't, but thanks. Yeah, yeah. Later, dead man.  Hey! Who said you could give me some random nickname?!

Creating a replacement for a dead person and then punishing them when they inevitably develop into their own distinct entity is the dumbest thing you can do, A. You idiot. You total imbecile. You could have created Angela as a daughter in spirit. Kept Carmen’s ideals alive, and admitted that, TT2 or not, you need to move forward and change as a person to be alive. Instead you locked yourself and her into some weird self-aggrandising fantasy. At least apologise to her.

A reminder that this X/A is the first to progress this far. Meaning that the bottom layer sephirot know what is happening and have been alone through every single loop prior to this one. That’s slightly inaccurate. Hokma has had his boxed employees. And Binah has had abnormalities. But nobody else except Angela knew about them, and we just learned that she’s been avoiding them.

I should note that the 'first to come this far' thing was the cutscene for hitting 70% on the Seed of Light progress and was related to suppressions, rather than day progress. Presumably other managers have seen Hokma/Binah before, but if Angela is to be believed they haven't managed to beat Gebura in a fistfight.

This particular bit of story at this point doesn't feel surprising at all, but I'm okay with that. It just means the game did an adequate job at foreshadowing, tropes aside, imo! Looking forward to how this crazy game wraps up-TeeQueue posted:

Also a little theory: we are trying to execute a mysterious plan, which, supposedly, would cure humanity. Doctor wants to cure humanity and apparently him being in the facility is part of his mysterious plan. We progress by curing mental scars of Sephiroth and gaining new abilities in the process, as well as helping Sephiroth in question. Doctor progresses by curing our employees and gaining new appearance, as well as helping employee in question. Nobody knows what happens in the end.

I honestly read that line about being held up as Hokma being drily sarcastic. But really this does explain so much why she's such a dick to everyone else.

Dead Reckoning posted:Is he though? Angela is proceeding more or less according to a script that the original A wrote, and the whole facility is a Skinner box to prod X onto the "correct" path. For all we know, every manager who makes it to 70% gets the "Oh my gosh, you're the first!" speech, and the big filter that has stopped X/A from ever reaching 100% is still ahead of us. Hell, because she is an AI and this is a video game, I'd bet even money on Angela being the reason we haven't hit 100% yet, out of spite if nothing else.

Day 43: Gameplay Music: neutral 2  With this, all of the research of the Lower Sephirot has been completed. For now, anyways. I respect your drive to continue onward, A. However, Binah and myself are not like those Sephirot from above. Carefully instilled instabilities, emotional outbursts that lead to Meltdowns… we have no such flaws here. We'll see how that holds up after another dozen puns. I cannot stop you from trying, A, but it is ultimately futile. There is no way to progress forward, and no need. Allow yourself to relax. Why not enjoy an eternity with your dear ones? I'll take it under advisement.   Not a lot to do today, is there… It should be another relatively quiet day, Manager.  There's just that sword of Damocles hanging over our heads… Right. We still don't have any information on that thing, and we're nowhere near the PE box requirement to see its final information.  We don't have enough room in storage to hold that many PE boxes anyways! Anything past 999 is just a waste. How pointless... It's a ZAYIN so it doesn't breach, but there's an ominous pressure to that number. My instincts are telling me it can't be trusted. It feels like we're being toyed with… Given that, how can we get more information? If it's toying with us, why don't we toy with it a little as well~ Sounds like you have an idea. It's inconveniencing us. We should try doing the same. Oh, I like where this is going.  I wonder how you'll react today? Don't disappoint me.Today is another day much like yesterday. There's not a lot going on in the game, and we can sort of relax and take it easy-we don't even have to focus on farming up our Agents' stats since this week doesn't really matter. I think I've mentioned it before, but if not: we have to do at least one Memory Repository in order to clear the game, since otherwise it's impossible to do both Binah and Hokma's meltdowns in one run. Without that Repository, one of them would unlock at the start of day 46, and we can't do any more Core Suppressions from day 46 onward. Opening the Architecture department is… special. The only things that matter are getting our observation levels up for our new Abnormalities, and also getting their sweet sweet gear. This does mean that CENSORED and our new pick will be leaving us before long, but oh well!   Speaking of, we'll start with our new Abnormality, since it's very quick to explain. Like Behavior Adjustment and Heart of Aspiration, it's an equippable tool.  Here's Mizu's stats, before we send her in.   Ooo, a handy dandy notebook! Let's see what it says. Like the others, it has a unique equipment marker next to the healthbar. Are you enjoying yourself? Uh-huh! It's really interesting. I didn't understand it at first but I totally get what the writer's going for by the end! Truly, you never do fail to intrigue. Thankees! This tool gives a whopping +20 to both parts of the Temperance stat, booting success rates by 4% and also increasing work rate. Moreover, as long as we don't try to return it it won't do anything immediate. We could keep it on her until it's all done giving us all the information, if we wanted to. So we do that.  Let's get to it, I guess… Before that, isn't there a major problem here? I suppose there is significantly more vomit on the floor than there was beforehand, and most of it seems to be from my subordinates! HAHAHA, how mysterious! It's because you keep demanding they meet your eyes when they're reporting-that thing is disgusting! I don't see anything wrong with him. That's because you've got-UGH. Could you not stand on the same side of the room as him? I have to see it to glare at you! If it's a problem, you could always find your own eye covering... That's..! Actually a really good idea. I'll be back later. Let’s make the best of today as always~ It seems that Plague Doctor has moved to Records today. Wow! I didn't know your hair could pick that up too. It's not that, it's the halo. It tells me. Huh… that's interesting. I wouldn't mind studying it a bit. Speaking of that gift... Evil Kit. When you get a moment, I have something for you to do. Color me intrigued, boss. What's up? We just need you to work with that Plague Doctor. Be your usual winning self. You mean… Take it however you like.   Seems like we've got another troubling Abnormality today… You can't forget about CENSORED, either. It's a problem if a meltdown lands on it. We'll need to bring in a specialist again… Not Mr.Black. Yeah… he's banned. Forever. Does that leave anyone? Mizu could do it, maybe we could call her… Don't worry. I've already put out a call. Our secret weapon should be here any minute.  Hey, Talow. You said this was an emergency, what's up? I'm looking for someone who can work with a CENSORED and also won't make me want to throw them into a wall, and the other candidates were Mizu, Mr.Black, and Evil Kit. That does sound like an emergency. I'll see what I can do.While everyone else is messing about, we finish getting the 3 and a half minutes we needed to unlock the data on the new notebook.  If the Agent returns it too quickly, returns it without doing a work, or takes too much damage (~60 total between HP and SP) they will die horribly. It's not the worst item since returning it will reset the damage taken to 0, but it's also really not necessary.  Oooh, grape! I'm fine with that.I throw her to work to make sure she doesn't explode, then return the notebook to its cell.  Kit? What're you doing down here? I have been asked to provide my services to the newest Abnormality. So you're here to… annoy it. Precisely. The manager thinks that it could give us new insight into the creature. How interesting… it could work, I guess. Could it?  We send Evil Kit to work on Plague Doctor, and…   What art thou doing? My job! There's no problem with talking right now, right? Thy head is… Wouldst thou get away from behind mine wings? Afraid I can't do that, Plauge Doctor! My instructions are very clear! Clearly, thou needst the blessing. Come.Because Plague Doctor swapped places with Behavior Adjustment, the game saved the work position of the tool Abnormality for the cell. Because of this, any works done with Plague Doctor today are done from this position.  And that breaks this animation too, of course.  Thou art off target. I believe you'll find it's you who missed. Impossible. Thou art doing it incorrectly. Really? Because I'm not feeling very blessed~ Thou art irksome. Come here. Oh, there's the blessing. Thank you for that, good doctor! Hence we shall go together 'ere the time of reunion. When is that, by the way? Lunch? Later than lunch? When the time comes, thou shalt heed the call. If thou sayest so. … Its wings have turned white… It's becoming more angelic over time. U-um… I'm pretty sure we're running out of wiggle room with this Abnormality. It'd be good if we could figure out what it does soon… I need to make a training plan for it. We don't have one? I checked over my collection, and it appears we um... don't, sir. I guess that makes sense. Nobody's seen this before, after all. It'd be too much to ask for us to find something like with Apocalypse Bird. Speaking of which, the Codex has nothing either. It was the first place I looked this time. It's like this thing just appeared here recently. You have the right of it, Yesod. This Abnormality emerged only recently. I met it as it pulled itself from the well, by its own will. What. Oh? I take it your interest has been piqued, manager. drat right! This feels like something you should have mentioned before! Writing the incorrect ending to a tale you had not even heard was your own doing, manager. I merely watched as it occurred. You are infuriating. Talk. Did you find anything out? Sure did! There's nothing under those robes. At all. So it's an incorporeal being in a cloak and a mask? You… you looked?! Yep! Also nothing behind the mask. Really weird. Doesn't seem too dangerous, but it seems like the Plague Doctor is formless outside of what we see. Not hiding anything at all. I see… Well, you've done good work Kit. Muahahaha… of course! We met for the first time that night, on the eve of the 40th day since your "return." I had gone to draw the water, but something new had occurred. The water had drawn itself, before my eyes. So it was just… there one night? What'd you do? This place exists to exploit the Abormalities. I provided it with a number and caged it, the same as any other. I offered it to you. You selected it. To what end, I do not know… but thus far it has been an interesting change of pace. Change of pace? These things are dangerous. Even the ZAYINs? The one other ones you have seen are the mirror and that skull… would you call them dangerous? Well, there was one agent who- Paul doesn't count. T-that was why we had him around, remember? Oh, right! They're… not dangerous, but they can still cause problems. I saw its determination to exist, and chose to respect its existence. That you chose it to take a place in this facility was not my doing. I simply provided the possibility. The circumstances behind its creation matter not, I shall watch over this path to its end. Ah. It seems Mizu and Chiral have gotten to the work I assigned them. I will see you later, Manager. Wait-I didn't even understand half of that. Stupid toaster, speaking in riddles all the time…Green Dawn. Almost nothing of note happens, except in Extraction where everyone was busy working so it was up to the Clerks.  Mizu's not around, and neither is Chiral. That means it's up to us! The time has come!  We've been driven to the edge! The true intent of our pistols has become clear! What are they… Oh, right. I guess the manual did say we tell them that they were for self defense, huh...By the way, apropos of nothing I'd like to recommend the artbook for this game. It's full of neat tidbits like this.  I'll cover it at some point, though I'm not sure when. Oh well… they can at least have some Red shields if they're going to buy into the self defense thing. Oh hey guys, did I miss anything? Nothing we couldn't handle, ma'am! ...I'll be. They actually did it.Clerks are terrible, but enough of them can put out enough damage to kill a TETH pretty fast.  Green Done.  Good. Angela, bring Binah back in on the call. She's not responding, Manager. So she's run off, has she? We'll talk more tomorrow, I'm sure. Y'know, I don't remember when I noticed that the upper-left bit of your egg is the teeth you have as a fish, but I haven't ever been able to unsee it since. So in the end, I guess we still don't have a clue, do we. There is that report from Evil Kit. That it's got no body? Even given that its form changes as people believe in it, that still doesn't tell us what it's changing into. Perhaps if we wait for a little longer to let things catalyze? It makes sense to try and get a read on an opponent before you strike all out. In the end, that sounds like just doing the same thing as we already do. My thoughts exactly… I really hate not being able to figure this out. There is still that last part of our analysis. "Those kissed by Plague Doctor shall be reborn as the blessed." Yeah, it just means they'll get that E.G.O gift, doesn't it? Since getting it, Mr.Blond's been showing unusual results on his exams. It seems to be generating an Enkephalin response all on its own. I have already pursued this path, and it is not a high enough reaction to be harnessable for the purposes of gathering energy. Most likely this means that the gift and the Abnormality are still linked in some way. Lovely of you to explain, Angela. Meanwhile, it's doing its thing again. Time to throw someone else to the wolves. ...Not thee as well. Kit said this would be the best way to make sure we can have a good talk. Also I think ghosts are cool. I am no ghost, maiden. I am a doctor, here to cure a disease which plagues humanity. Then why don't you have a body? I shed mine form in the stream flowing to this place… Now, I must find those who would aid me. I wouldst give thee my blessing, that thou couldst help mine cause. Company policy says no saying no… so I guess I've got to say yes. Thanks, doc. I feel pretty okay. Hence we shall go together 'ere the time of reunion. And there goes the mask. Four hours to midnight. Mr.Blond! Something seems… different! It's like they say: ALEPH problems require ALEPH solutions. I got myself a visor, so now I don't have to see that thing on your face. HAHAHAHA! Good for you! ...man, I don't even know where to start with you.  All done working with CENSORED? Yeah. I'll have a drink to calm the headache a bit. What do they have you doing? More work with King of Greed. I don't really trust her with the newbies. She's finicky. Ahh. Good luck. The next level gives another meltdown to Plague Doctor, so it's time to queue up another Agent. Manager, there's signs of a Violet Noon! Should I have the agents clear out? ...Nah. We're close enough that we shouldn't need to trigger the Ordeal at all. Of course, sir! I'll leave them in position to get crushed! If we get to two works before, remind me again. Thanks for bringing it up. Will do, Manager! You give out much more praise these days than you used to. I've realized that the old me was kind of an rear end. He was a bold leader, willing to bear the burden of doing horrible things for the good of all mankind. I'll agree to disagree on that one. ...Very well, A.  Hey there, Mr. Doctor. I'm not sure why a construct of wires and models is here, but… I am no construct, child. All the Abnormalities with voices protest, but that makes sense. I won't be duped. Is that why thou art so close? Yep! I'm looking for the strings now. It is an interesting coping mechanism. Unrelated to mine pursuits, but perhaps still aided by my blessing. Perhaps that shall also be tested? Oh, sure, whatever. This is really well-made, just like the others. I don't know why anyone would go through this much trouble so many times… An E.G.O gift… I'll be sure to study this thoroughly. I've always wondered how these got bestowed by inanimate objects. Hence we shall go together 'ere the time of reunion. Guys… that thing started sparkling. Oh, that's never good~ It isn't? Um… I think he's making a joke, manager. Either way, let's try to cool it here for now. I need something I can handle. Perfect timing, Hod. You're welcome, sir..!  Compared to the tall bird, this doesn't hurt much at all. Don't worry about it. You're a TETH and it's a WAW, there's nothing to be ashamed of. Good, let's get out of this day before my brain goes numb. Is something the matter? No, just… there's nothing going on. Things happening sucks, but waiting for things to happen is somehow even worse. Manager! I'm here to remind you to avoid Violet Noon. Good timing. We're actually wrapping up for the day. Roger that. I'll let the team know! Good news, everyone! We get pack up and head home. Since Omni and Chinely covered for us yesterday, it's only fair we give them the same courtesy. You guys wanna take off early? For real? Boss, you're the best! Well, it's not my call. Mmm… It is only fair. I'll allow it! But I expect you to be here bright and early tomorrow! Then I'll take you up on it! See you tommorrow! They're good agents. They are. I'll be a minute-I need to make a quick report to Records. Alright, but make it snappy. You ended that last story halfway through and I want to hear the rest!  Quitting time. The clerks put in some good work today. They sure did. Hey… what's that under your mask? Candy. Can I have some? It's my only piece. A cutie gave it to me, so- Ah, it's from a cutie. Say no more, I understand. I'm not a huge fan of anything from them. What about your hat? Laetitia's the exception. She's done nothing wrong. Three slots are left. Saw Morgan's name. Keep an eye on her. Roger that. Thanks for the update. Okay everyone, it's time to wind down. Thanks for the assist, Tylana. It was downright pleasant. Glad to help. I'd better get back to base before Dimi tries to shove all the work off onto Gaia. Right. Oh, Morgan-report to Safety for a random health check later. Already? I just had one last week. The random number generator giveth, and it taketh away. We've come a long way… It's thanks to your excellent leadership that things have progressed so smoothly. Hardly. It's thanks to everyone working together that we've gotten this far. Just a little further, right? Our time together is almost up, yes. Gotta' say, I can't wait to get out of here. I must agree, A. It would be nice to leave.Next time, on Lobotomy Corporation: Binah gives us an impossible mission.

Today's metaplot is getting upskirts of the Plague Doctor, and I am extremely here for it. I love this LP so much

Even taking into account that tool abnormalities are going to be inherently less flashy than others, I think Notes from a Crazed Researcher is the most boring abnormality of all. Even some of the others at least have the quirk of being an organ you carry around, or having a distinct sci-fi tinge to it. This one is just a notebook, it's not even implied to be haunted or something!

This one is just a notebook, it's not even implied to be haunted or something! It's probably not even an abnormality, Extraction team were just behind on their quota, grabbed the first thing off Binah's desk and threw it in a containment box. Mechanically it's probably a pretty useful thing to get early-game; a 20-point boost to Temperance bonuses is a big deal, 60 damage is going to take a while to come by when everything is zayins and teths, and there's little enough going on that you can afford to pay attention to how much work someone has done holding it. By now though it's not worth it at all. Tenebrais fucked around with this message at 13:26 on Jan 18, 2021 |

I may have mentioned this once already, but Plague Doctor forced me to do a Day 1 Reset on one of my first run attempts, because it showed up early and I had no way of dealing with it. Like, I don't think I even had Central open. Looking forward to seeing how the good doctor's stay in this facility pans out.
