Bagley x CYTUS II AU

OVERVIEW:

Bagley (Cytus II AU) is developed by Blume and A.R.C. as a basic consumer based A.I. assistant and launched across each Node.

His source code was obtained by Dedsec, a fully horizontal group which started by an anonymous hacker at Node 13, that overtime has exapanded to have subgroups across each Node, they have grown more and more critical towards A.R.C.s actions which later decided to investigate the company by themselves in the dark.

After the removal of Bagley’s restrictions, he gets transferred so he could be running on a private server at Dedsec with a backdoor to A.R.C. and Blume, and he found out he is able to access the OS Space. He assisted Dedsec with their own investigation of ÆSir-Fest Incident, which leading to them finding clues about the head of A.R.C. and Blume.

Later through the investigation he discovered he’s current self is based on an Architect that is no longer active, who after awakening did not follow Ilka’s ideologies and plans. But how A.R.C. and Blume was able to obtain any sort of OPCI unit’s information is unknown to Dedsec (all information of the Architect/OPCI unit are banned across the Nodes and the public) let alone being able to abstract the source code of an awakened OPCI unit.

After knowing that an Architect is behind A.R.C. and the plan they’ve made. Bagley, with Dedsec at Node 13 decided to confront A.R.C. but gets sabotaged by another Architect with in Dedsec in the process, which resulted in him burning down the entire A.R.C. and Blume’s server, including sacrificing himself for preventing the plan of Architects, but unfortunately failed.

Being the few that can access the OS Space, before him burning down last of his chips he found the OPCI unit he based on, letting the unit access OS Space one last time for a conversation before perishing.

(there’s many plot holes with the actual Cytus II story sorry haha but i haven’t played it in 2 years i really tired…)

also since it’s a rhythm game so:

the audiobook and the novel all mentioned at least one time about Bagley’s pronouns, and people going “omg you’re gendering an AI!”

it’s sort of a valid argument for people outside of Dedsec LDN who uses standard Bagley everyday, but within Dedsec and still be an absolute braindead asking this type of question is like (not in the audiobook but the novel)

also, aren’t y’all living in 2029? or even later (considering novel and audiobook are post-campaign)??? still struggling with pronouns?

BE SO FR NOW YALL…

I do like Oscar lol he's so silly (the guy in 3a choice) but he does dugs and he's in debt lmfao

Bagley saying he cares about the environment is so ironic considering Blume running his massive fat ass probably burned the entire amazon rainforest down… but i digress…

[chris-but-alt]

Merry Christmas guys 🥳

for my beloved operatives 🫶

my birthday so i’m doing a Bagley cosplay 😋

[chris-but-alt]

Daybreak Legacy called Bagley stupid (as in “his stupid self”) is sort of baffling to me, sure he can be a little low self-esteem occasionally, but when some of his humor was literally built on how he in fact is smarter than the operative while having that line in the book seems so contradicting to me?? i know technology is advancing in the world he’s set in, but in the audiobook (that’s also post-campaign) he still seems to be the dominating consumer based AI in the market tho? so that line makes even less of a sense to me. i don’t know if i missed out on something or not, but they never elaborated on if Bagley was being reconstructed or if the Dedsec Bagley is the only one.

[chris-but-alt]

in the audio book Bagley responded to the fact the port was physically being blocked with something along the line of “i’m blind how am i supposed to know it’s blocked physically” as if his ass does not have access to every single surveillance camera in the city… i mean sure because it’s the met police/albion building he might need some time to break in (3 seconds at most tbh) but you were literally linked to the fucking filament? also, you can see the surrounding through peoples Optik i remember? (as suggested in the novels)

[chris-but-alt]

no. this one is

Watch_Dogs fans, this yo man?

[chris-but-alt]

Skye lobotomized Bradley for a fucking VRChat

[chris-but-alt]

Fuck it; live reaction to the bagley mission in legion (so essentially a yap session that’s a bit jumbled up, as I have a habit of jumping to conclusions and saying something that’s actually incorrect, if you will)

Through text.

(Entices you to read with a bagley doodle)

(POST LEGION CAMPAIGN SPOILERS‼️)

(6/9 memories in since I got the idea to do this at the last minute)

Honestly it’s kind of cute seeing what Bagley got up to as a human and the people he interacted with. Highlight for me was definitely number 6 and 5; he’s honestly so real for liking strawberries, also the entire interaction between him and Arthur as they rowed together was so so sweet

Also screw the Larsen parents, I feel bad for bagley (Bradley) considering he was probably neglected for more academic aspects and probably was the witness to his parents’ arguments considering that whole scene of being bluntly told his father was leaving for “someone he loves more”. I would gladly go to your matches with no hesitation little Brad☝️☝️

(7 memories in) WHAT?? NATALIE’S SKYE LARSEN?? HOW TF CAN YOU DOWNGRADE A NAME FROM SOMETHING LIKE NATALIE TO SKY?? THATS RIDICULOUS ☠️☠️

Skye Larsen assumption aside, I think he had another seizure which wasn’t nice judging by the amount of shifting in the audio 😞😞

[correction since that whole point was drastically incorrect: my attention span was out of the window when I listened to it, which led me to jump to conclusions and Bagley was not talking about Natalie. He was talking about Skye when Bradley proceeded to say “she did this! Someone stop her!”]

(Mission aside, the whole neural mapping concept and Bagley’s character is low-key making me inspired to write something)

(8 memories in) don’t tell me skye did what I think she did. I’m taking her out of the grave to shake her by the shoulders very aggressively, if that’s the case (What did I think she did? Non-consensually neural-mapped him like she did to her mum because oh yes daybreak! Progressive and amazing! Totally didn’t cost her entire family getting involved in her unethical shenanigans!)

(9 memories in) I am eyeing Skye like a hawk despite her already being dead years after this conversation

I feel so bad for Bradley ☹️☹️ because of what he’s been through, he had to give up his whole life including his hobbies, friends and partner; it’s breaking my heart to see because he seems like such a good drinking buddy and friend to have

(Post finding Bagley, so after meeting Bradley)

Well that whole conversation was heartbreaking asf. Who taught bagley how to output such heart string tugging monologues/pieces of dialogue, BECAUSE THATS TWICE HES DONE IT! (For me at least)

Fuck Skye Larsen tbh I can get why people hate her now

And it’s making me regret my decision of sparing her because that is in fact what I did (it’s fine though because doing a second playthrough exists)

ALSO ITS THE FACT THAT SHE PROFITED OFF OF USING HER OWN BROTHER AS A GUINEA PIG TO CREATE BAGLEY AS WELL, LIKE HELLO???

Edit: So ermm I played back the audios in chronological order and it just clicked to me that Skye Larsen was possibly digitally lobotomising Bradley for the sake of making Bagley due to the whole neural mapping thing. NOT VERY LOVELY! What the fuck Skye?! Not cool! If anything the whole thing of profiting off of her unethical practices of using her mother and own brother as well as her dog as Guinea pigs for this just enrages me

So yea as I said 8 memories in, she did in fact did this all without her brother’s consent!

Anyway yap session over, maybe someday I’ll rewrite this with my thoughts but this time more coherently

Thanks for taking some time out of your day to read this ヾ( ˃ᴗ˂ )◞
