Part 58: Episode LVI: Cybering
Episode LVI: Cybering
Elsewhere in flashback land...
Oh hey, flashbacks for Shelke. This is a change of pace.
Okay, Shelke did not maintain good company in the past. We need Chris Hansen on the line, stat!
"Correct. Then you are to use that data to find the Protomateria. That is where he requires you assistance."
"He...?" "The man on the Internet I downloaded into my brother's mind s--"
WHY DOESN'T THIS MESSAGE POP UP IN EVERY CUTSCENE!?!?!
"Her cold, betrayal filled, alien being infested heart."
Vincent's just going to go ahead and nod off for this next scene. I can't say I blame him.
Fuck! A witch! Oh no, wait... It's just Lucrecia again...
...
Fuck! A bitch!
"Something's wrong... Oh yes, I haven't totally manipulated your feelings today, have I? Let's work on that, shall we...?"
"It is merely a reflection created with my remaining data. Part of me was recently deleted off of Vimeo. Then another piece violated the TOS on Megaupload and was axed. And then... Well, you don't want to hear about all this..."
"No it didn't..." "I'm sorry, Vincent. I was uploaded to the Internet decades ago. Nothing is left of the real Lucrecia but a decaying husk." "No. You're perfectly fine." "But that doesn't make sense..." "Yeah. The Jenova Cells gave you immortality. You're living in a crystal in...well this same cave." "No, I'm not buying that Vincent. You have to learn to let go of the past." "I even have pi--" "CRUMBLED AWAY! LONG! AGO! GOT IT?!" "..."
"The one you used to slack from your duties beneath? No? Here's a refresher."
"Ahh... Here we are."
"I used to love it here. Oh, the fun we had." "You ratted me out to the Turks HQ for negligence. They docked my pay. I needed that money for food. I had nothing to eat!" "I shared my picnic with you, didn't I?" "You gave me a single piece off the end of a loaf of bread and some turkey you dropped on the grass." "It was still okay." "It had ants crawling on it. That was the only food I had for the entire week!" "I'm so sorry."
"Things fade with time, as do many things in this world. Except Final Fantasy VII fandom. That is a cash cow that is far away from being sucked dry."
"The taint of the Final Fantasy movie is a weight we're all going to have to carry."
"I finally realized my true feelings. Or at least this AI representation of myself has."
"...because I am never going to reveal them to you. It would be far too out of character, no?"
"It does wonders for my self-esteem."
"I've made too many mistakes. And I've hurt you so, so much. Well, you. Your father. My son. The entire scientific community. Giving Hojo and ego boost probably did nobody favors. And... Well, let's forget about all that."
You are a horrible person which makes horrible decisions constantly then whines and guilt trips people to mask your own fuck-ups...?
"But I'm so happy you survived. I wouldn't have wanted all my efforts to have gone to waste. Blueballing is delicate art and I a master craftsman." "..."
"FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKK YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!"
"Man, it feels great to get that off my chest. Too bad it was just an AI. Oh well. What was I doing?" "..."
"Oh, right..."
Vincent proceeds to fly straight through the ground, straight into Deepground and into Mako Reactor 0 to go pick up Shelke.
"Flashbacks and introspective chats. You know how it goes."
Nope, nothing creepy about this. No sir. Nothing creepy at all.
"Only believing what she wanted to. Even when there were entire power point presentations to the contrary. What did I ever see in her...?"
"Maybe I will..."
"I have a story to end." "..." "..." "..." "Too dramatic...? "A touch..." "Oh well... Gothman..."
"...AWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!"Bonus Content:
