#Cure Byte

[neopolitansworld]

So there was another Server event on discord where we were given different color palettes to create a Pretty Cure fan series, my palette being; Royal Blue, Teal, Lime Green, Fuchsia, Orange. Using those colors i whipped up;

Cyber-Rift Pretty Cure Code: Kaiju

Themes: Futuristic, Kaiju, Isekai?, Cyberpunk, Mecha, Emotions, Senses

Synopsis:

While working on a mandatory cyber group project, Hitomi stumbles upon an ancient hard drive with coordinates to the Mysterious abandoned dorm where she meets the enigmatic PEIR (PEIROVACS), an advanced AI who presents her the Hyperlink-Cell and tasks her with restoring balance to a parallel dimension known as the Primeval Colossus Realm. Realizing she can't do it alone, she invites her group mates —Yasuko, Sara, Kaori, and Jina to help her with this mission. As they transform into Cures they form the Cyber Rift Pretty Cure Code: Kaiju. Will they be able to stop the realm from colliding, save the corrupted Kaiju’s. What mysteries will they solve, allies they meet on the way and secrets they uncover in their own home realm. Will their friendship blossom prettily and cure the faults within them, creating life lesson moments?

*hey, it's for aspiration, not actual outcome

[yaeggravate]

been thinking about this what if the reason why kaeya isn't cursed is because it has something to do with the khvarena? maybe his mother and father had khvarena and abyssal power respectively thus neutralizing or suppressing the curse

[why-bless-your-heart]

@bytes-and-blessings I disagree for a few reasons. 1. It was established in the beginning that Martha’s inability to walk was psychosomatic. That’s not to say that she wasn’t disabled, but it didn’t have a physical root. 2. Fantasizing about being magically healed isn’t ableist. It’s wish-fulfillment. 3. Martha did like 90% of her growth and development while still in the wheelchair. She was an active and beloved member of her community, and the only reason they were looking to cure her in the first place was because she wanted to be. 4. Brian Jacques started off writing these books for disabled kids. He very explicitly wanted to write stories that were fun for them, that were exciting, that were enjoyable. And sometimes fun and exciting and enjoyable means “What if you were loved so much that people went on a quest for your sake, what if you were able to help protect your home, what if — when you needed it more than anything — you got what it was you wanted.”

“i try to laugh about it / hiding the tears in my eyes” – the cure, boys don't cry

“i didn’t want you to hear / that shake in my voice / my pain is my own” – car seat headrest, 1937 state park

“i don’t know why i am / the way i am, not strong enough to be your man” – boygenius, not strong enough

▸ GWEN, who all too familiar with what it's like to keep up a tough act for the sake of not falling apart.

she's grown accustomed to letting emotions eat away at her until they're too big to deal with. which is why she's quick to feel empathy when she sees that you do the same thing.

she won't force you to talk about anything you don't want to– but if you need an outlet, she hands you her drum sticks.

"maybe it'll help you like it helps me." gwen explains, giving you that awkward little smile of hers that makes everything weighing on you feel a little less heavy.

always trying to help you find a way to channel your emotions. even if drumming doesn't work for you. maybe it's singing. maybe it's art. or maybe you just need to cry. no matter what it is, she doesn't mind. she just wants you to let it out in a healthy way.

▸ HOBIE is instantly aware of the fact you're the type to laugh and joke around to hold back tears.

you're trying your hardest to keep smiling, but he sees it falter as you try to speak, choking out the words while holding back a sob.

"'s okay to cry, y'know? no one 'round here but us anyways." he reassures.

you take a sharp inhale, knowing it was useless to pretend. he was always emotionally intelligent, able to read you like a book. sometimes you wondered if he could read your mind. or maybe he was just attentive with you.

he puts a hand on your back, gently rubbing as you feel the tears run down your cheeks. this turns into an arm around your shoulder as you cry, until you're fully sobbing– he decides to just pull your into his arms.

he's still holding you close, even as your cries subside into sniffles. always encourages you to be real with him. there's nothing he loves more than you being unfiltered– even if it means expressing negative emotions. to hobie, vulnerability is bravery.

▸ JESSICA DREW who's quick to notice you the minute you turn away to conceal your face.

she pulls you aside discreetly, knowing you probably didn't want attention of others. tries to meet you eye-level, asks you directly about what's wrong.

after a few seconds of silence, you finally break.

"i feel so weak." you sniffle, not meeting her eyes.

"for doing a little crying?" she sighs a little, shaking her head. "not at all. you're strong– you've been strong. but even strong people gotta cry."

she'll talk you through it or just sit beside you, offering you advice or even just a space to vent. she's very busy all the time– but she'll set aside time for you. tells you that hiding from emotions only works for so long and that tells you that you aren't any less tough in her eyes for feeling them.

you're only human after all. you deserve to live out the wholeness of the human experience.

▸ LYLA isn't really all too involved with your day-to-day life shenanigans (being the best ai assistant is hard), but she always makes a point to check up on you when she gets the chance.

besides, miguel sure isn't gonna gossip with her like you do.

"you doing good?" she'll ask, grinning.

you only respond with a weak "yeah" and the fakest chuckle she's ever heard, as you clearly attempt to blink back tears.

she doesn't know what to do. tries to wipe the tears that eventually fall with a virtual hand that phases right through your face. well. at least she had good intentions.

"hey, hey–" lyla gets you to take a deep breath. "look at me."

she says your name, regrounding you. you look up at her, and for a moment, she's certain that she's felt something akin to sympathy. she's felt something real.

lyla doesn't let that distract her from her objective– right now, she's gotta comfort you.

she repeats your name, "...it's okay. you cry if you feel like it."

▸ MARGO who sits you down, letting you be the one to speak first when your smile wavers.

"i hate fuckin' crying.." you laugh weakly, trying to make the situation better. it doesn't help control the tears. "i feel so lame for it."

"you know," she whispers, taking your hands in yours, "i still think you're pretty cool."

she gives you a grin that's so earnest– so sweet– that lets you know she's being honest.

"okay, so this might be stupid,, butttt–" encourages you two to listen to some moody music so you can get whatever you've bottled up out of you systems. it's cathartic, crying your eyes out with her as whatever the two of you have queued up blasts in the background.

doesn't judge you one bit for crying.

"only way out is through." she shrugs. "gotta feel it before you can actually let it go."

▸ MILES (1610) who had just asked an innocent question about how your doing, now watching as you struggle to respond.

after a strained moment of searching for words, you shrink away and hide your face in your hands. he scoots by your side, asking before gently taking your hands away from your face.

"what's wrong?" his voice is soft. gentle as he looks at you with the sweetest concerned expression.

"i shouldn't be crying.. it's stupid... i feel so, so stupid–"

he frowns at these words. "i don't think it's stupid."

societal expectations forcing people to put on a tough act just to conceal emotions deemed as "weakness?" not a new concept to him. he's just sad that it's impacted you so deeply.

after this, will actively check up on how you're doing emotionally. will pull you aside to have a heart-to-heart if he senses the slightest thing off. terrified of being shut out by you, will always offer for the two of you to deal with whatever you're struggling with together.

▸ MILES (42) who asks more bluntly than he had intended when he senses you're not doing okay.

you take a sharp inhale, giving him an unsteady smile which only makes him sigh. no matter how much you try to make the situation lighthearted, his expression never changes.

"nah. you're not fooling me." he walks over to you, his voice softening as he looks at you. "...what's got you upset?"

a really good listener. lets you rest your head on his shoulder as you vent and let it out.

he's not the most open himself, so of course he understands– but he doesn't want you to be like him.

you thank him for putting up with your breakdown, feeling a little awkward as you pull your cheek away from his shoulder and look at him.

you watch as he falters for a moment, gently grabbing your arm and pulling you in for a warm, slightly stiff, side-hug.

"don't thank me for that– it's just what you deserve." though his quick to dismissal of what you'd said seems to be the end of his sentence– you watch as he unclenches his jaw, hesitating before he says something else.

"anytime. i mean it."

▸ MIGUEL who is jus like u for reals doesn't quite know how to cope with emotions either. that doesn't give him an excuse to not try with you.

he can't find the right words, but you see the empathy in his eyes. he offers quiet comfort– places a hand on your back, rubbing it as you lean into his side

"don't hide your face from me." he mutters to you. "it's just me."

your hands fall from your face into your lap, shoulders slumping. he feels you tremble softly, as you to reply.

"this should be for me to deal with. i should be strong enough." your words echo in his mind.

maybe because he's told himself the same thing too many times before as well. it's painful, the way that this moment with you reflects a mirror image of himself.

will crumble his own walls if it means you'll do the same. tries to be open to encourage you. you'll learn together.

▸ NOIR who is a gentleman through and through. always. tells you that he'll give you anything you need.

"i don't know what nitwit told you it wasn't okay for you to cry," his choice of words makes you crack a slight genuine smile, "but you don't have to believe them one second."

as your facade slowly crumbles, his gloved hands cup your face as you cry. he dries your cheeks, patiently nodding as he listened to you ramble on about everything you've been holding back.

when you've calmed down, he presses a kiss to your forehead.

to ache like this and still be concerned over burdening others– he's now finds little ways to remind you how precious you are to him. that he'll always care.

▸ PAVITR, who approaches you as delicately as possible. he tries not to do anything that will make you feel backed into a corner.

he knows that feeling scared can lead to lashing out. tries to be casual about it to ensure you're as comfortable as possible.

you crack an obviously forced joke and he glances at you questioningly.

"you're not telling me something, aren't you?" he asks. pavitr's secretly hoping he was good at playing this careful– but you had picked up that he wanted to talk to you about it for a while now.

you're both obvious.

your grin fades as you chuckle dryly. "i don't... i don't want to– it's embarrassing."

"what's embarrassing is that i didn't notice earlier. don't be shy. we can figure it out together, okay?"

offers all the help he can. even (secretly) messages gayatri for "advice for a friend" you!!! you are friend!!!!! he doesn't name drop tho. privacy king.

▸ PETER B(E MY WIFE) PARKER. the one who drags you outside to chat about it and cracks a stupid joke himself. it alleviates no tension at all.

"..ahh,, no, nevermind that kid. you okay?"

a shake of your head and his smile fades a bit. he grips your shoulder, shaking you gently.

"been there plenty of times. trust me– better to get it out now."

and for a while, it's just a conversation. you're both sitting outside, the night air bringing a chill to your skin. he offers his jacket– and then proceeds to pull you into it while he still wears it, your back pressed to his chest.

it goes unspoken, but he knew you had been struggling for a while now. he's relieved to finally get a moment with you.

he'll always be looking out for you. even if you don't realize.

▸ THE SPOT/JOHNATHAN OHNN panics ever so slightly. this is the first time you've ever cried in front of him. so he does what he does best– and just asks questions.

"you've been bottling it up this whole time?"

"mhm..."

"for how long?..." your response causes him to pause, blinking several times before parting his lips to speak again. "...oh. oh wow– yikes–" he means well i swear.

will scour the multiverse in search of a quiet place for you to lay this all to rest.

you admit, you're certain you don't need all this– but he seems happy to put in the effort and lead you into a portal into a nice area to relax.

"are we breaking and entering into someone's house?!"

"uh– don't worry about it for now."

ROUND 4 BRACKET A

Agent VX belongs to @riftclaw

Byte belongs to @bunniibones

Find out more about them below!

Agent VX: (image credit Tracy Yardley @/yardleyart)

V is a GUN agent who works mostly in reconnaissance and forensics, and has studied a wide variety of disciplines in an attempt to learn to cure a heriditary illness he and his family all have. He has a flat affect, making it seem like he's always angry or annoyed, and he tries to avoid getting too invested in the people around him, but he can be incredibly loyal to anyone who takes time to get to know him. He's immortal and doesn't know it, which leads to very funny situations where he gets back up from things that definitely should've killed him and is furious about it.

Byte: (image credit @/drawloverlala)

Byte is a programmer and mechanic who used to work for the Eggman Empire as a lead programmer and performing maintenance in the Badniks, nevertheless when they met Starline they got so fascinated for the platypus that they went after him once Eggman firing him, offering Starline their services as a software engineer.

He accepted and gave them the role of his personal assistant since he knew their capabilities due to the time they worked together in the Empire. He was kind of wary of Byte’s chaotic tendencies, but soon a great idea came to his mind; What a better way to understand the chaotic world he’s trying to control than having the chaos by his side?

Since then, Byte has been the chaotic and eccentric right-hand of the platypus, helping him in all of his tasks and missions to achieve his plan; Conquer the world for Dr. Eggman.

Byte is very playful, and mischievous, they like to play pranks on everyone, cause problems and chaos here and there and always manipulates the situation to get out of troubles without consequences. They're cheerful and very energetic, very eccentric and passionate, they're very dedicated to their interests and will do their best in completing their tasks. They also encourage others to cause troubles too.

They're determined, responsible and showing their full potential whenever the situation requires so, they're a good observer and knows how to analyze everything. They're very reliable when it comes to problem solving.

[lostcryptids]

In the werewolf movie we watched last night, it starts on halloween, and some college kids are having a really awkward party where they are confessing personal stuff as a party game (with no music so its extra awkward). and one of the guys pulls out this app called BYTE and it has a 4.7 rating and he's like guys there's this app that turns you into a werewolf. i had to like, order 25 dollar werewolves blood and they sent it to me and we have to go to the graveyard and do a ritual and i have to drink the blood and i'll get powers. and they legit do that and he spills the blood on the phone and the phone says "BLOOD DETECTED" and it sucks the blood up. i'm making this movie sound a lot more interesting than it is but god the beginning was hysterical. and the turns out the guy that made the app was a professor that had a son sick with cancer and he realized he could cure the cancer if he turned him into a werewolf

[averagedualies]

…Oh? A pelipper just dropped off a letter. Addressed from uhhhhhh-

“From: Vincent (The really hot famous one)”

Oh! I remember this guy! He’s the one that’s like- the taller one with ungodly amounts of makeup. Yeah I know who this is. Lemme attach what he wrote (putting it below a read more, since its kinda long)

“This weird bird just came crashing through my window with a note asking if I wanted to send a letter back so.. here you go.

Life has been.. interesting. Had to uh, ‘deal with’ Nine again. But he’s.. not gonna be a problem anymore! (still can’t believe he got brought back.)

I’ve got good news though. Two things actually

One: IM FUCKING MARRIED BITCHESSSSS!!! It doesn’t even feel real if I’m being honest. But, cod, she’s so beautiful. I seriously don’t know how he fell in love with me of all people. I’ll attach the wedding photos to this letter.

Two: We did it. We actually fucking did it. We have an honest-to-cod cure for sanitization… kinda. As far as we’re aware, there’s no way to fully cure sanitization. What you can do though, is restore free-will to fully sanitized people… with a bit of luck. Let me try to explain.

First off, her name is Coral. She was fully sanitized relatively recently, during the commander’s final stand. Because of how recent it was we were able to pretty easily find who she was before (with some help from Octavio). This was important because to reverse it at all, we need genetically similar healthy cells to act as a kinda catalyst. We got insanely lucky with Coral as she had a living twin who agreed to help, and we managed to recover her.

Even if you meet all these conditions though, you still can’t fully reverse it. Even with partial sanitization your body kinda grows a reliance on the stuff, making it near impossible to remove without… yk. There’s potential to reduce some scarring, but that’s about all that can be done for someone like me.

Anyways, she’s recovering now. She’s got her free will back (which honestly, that’s the most important part). We’re working with the C.Q.s to try and recover as much data about each subject as possible. They’ve been shockingly helpful, all things considered.

But I’ll stop talking now though and let you all see the photos. They're pretty cool :]”

[Image attachments: The first photo is of Byte, wearing a gorgeous wedding dress. It’s a sleek white dress that fades to purple near the bottom. The darker part is embroidered with silver constellations.

The second photo is of Vincent, wearing an incredibly sharp suit. It’s accented with shades of deep rust and gold.

The third photo has them together, Vincent… taller than Byte? He’s leaning over her shoulder with a smug grin

…it’s painfully obvious he’s standing on a box or two.]

Think that’s everything? Oh- wait nope, one more

[Image attachment: It’s an octoling. Her skin is typical of a sanitized octoling, but she has soft teal eyes and blue tentacles that fade to a vibrant pink near the end. She’s.. smiling. It’s small, but genuine.]

…I don't really have a lot to say on that one. Uh- wow. Just wow.

Also holy carp a version of me got married-

[the-meme-monarch]

What's your headcannon facts about Dr. Dandy?

OOOOHHEEEEHEHE

-his hair is perfectly back in artificial light, but it has a red shine to it in natural light/sunlight, and it's fully red in the moonlight, this is unrelated to his vampirism :]

-he physically can't Fully close his eyes. he can still sleep though. those are unrelated

-night dandy is the reason there's a town curfew .

-i remember someone mentioning that his hentoko (the jumbled voice bytes when he talks(a friend on the chulipcord told me that little kings story called it that so i like to Also Call It That For Chulip)) that it sounded Not Japanese and possibly american? i think it'd be neat if he was American and moved to japan and llt

-related to that one i think he is still speaking japanese, but i think Everyone in game is bc this game is Undeniably japanese. it is undeniably set in japan. i hate localizations ♥️ call it a tanuki. it's not a fucking raccoon. y'know. end of rant

-i think he already knew american sign language from being a doctor in the us, and he learned japanese to move there, but he learned japanese sign language to better accommodate Michelle (my hc is she's deaf(she physically doesn't have ears)) but its also useful since poor boy is generally nonverbal and jsl is the only sign langauge he knows :']

-im torn between night dandy being the result of trying to cure his ainmosni, or being the result trying to repress his vampirism and the ainmosni was unrelated but the medication he was making just caused him to Unwittingly jekyll and hyde it

-his name is James (making him Jim Dandy (which the phrase jim-dandy means something that is notable or excellent :])

-so From What I've Heard, the popsicle in the original japanese is specifically called an apple popsicle. dandy's notes say he needs a sleepapple for his medicine, and residents telling you eating the popsicle makes you tired means the popsicle is specifically sleepapple flavored. And since it implies dandy got his medicine recipe wrong which Caused night dandy, i think he just wrote 'apple' in his notes expecting to remember it being the popsicle flavor and fucked it up from there.

-in that same vein i think sleepapples are hard to come by! like they're used almost exclusively in medicines and candies, so that's why dandy uses the popsicle in his medicine, it's cheaper and easier than getting sleepapples specially imported and having to process them himself

i think that's it ! this was so fun please feel free to ask me for other chulip headcanons

CSF Plot Stuff

Since the Mario cast all got mostly properly reset, Bowser is once again trying to kidnap Princess Peach, and sends a strike team to do so. Said strike team is led by Captain Spletzer(who is still human and has a rivalry with Mario) and her companions Bob(who is a notably better swordsman but still very much Bob) and Boopkins(who is almost as big and strong as Bowser and more willing to fight but still very much Boopkins).

SMG3, SMG4 and Lil Coding actually show up during the attack and try to help the Bros fend them off, only for a completely different group consisting of Mr. Monitor lookalikes(except with riot gear and black screens displaying red rectangles for eyes) and Goonies to hijack the kidnapping and take Peach to their boss. Said boss is obviously Benedict, who is still alive in Reboot World and has upgraded from a criminal empire to an actual empire, but is still stuck as an egg. He grabbed Peach in the hopes that her mystical healing powers that she has in some games can cure his condition.

Now it's a rush by both sides to save Peach from this new third side, and in the confusion the strike team somewhat accidentally captures 3. And since he's him, he kinda-sorta-just go with it joins their team, and convinces Steve to go along with it when he happens to show up. Mostly to hopefully get the band back together, partly to relive his villain era. Also because his Avatar programming is trying to kick in, Mario keeps getting progressively stronger urges to do weird, impulsive, and even just plain stupid things.

Meanwhile, 1 and 2 end up in the heart of Benedict's territory and get saved from some Monitors by a resistance group consisting of Tari(who's now a hacker and can use a gun), Shroomy(who is absolutely Jacked), Auri Bori(Benedict is one of the main villains of course he's here), and Hal Monitor(one of Benedict's Monitors who was reprogrammed into a rebel by Tari). The resistance as a whole is led by Saiko.

Also meanwhile, Welony was able to shield the Yiga Clan from getting rebooted along with everyone else, and Byte wasn't affected at all, so they're still free to do their usual villainy. And the Admins are trying to restore Emmy's data and figure out who tried resetting her in the first place. Considering how the vast majority of Admins feel about her, there's an unfortunately long list of suspects.

And for a few other important details that didn't fit in anywhere else:

-Melony doesn't currently exist because the Fierce Deity mask is in Benedict's arsenal of "just in case" doomsday weapons. If it ever ends up on a watermelon, she'll be back memories and all.

-Anyone attuned to Meme Energy(so anyone who's usually part of the crew, plus a few extras) can tell that something is Wrong with how the universe currently is.

-Prolonged exposure to SMGs will slowly restore the memories and abilities of anyone who got rebooted.

how did rika get her scars??

//IM SO HAPPY SOMEONE FINALLY ASKED!

So a majority of her scars were earned through the rough and tumble lifestyle of training dragons and ground-types (Which tend to be extremely large monsters), and from her many years of battling escaped Paradox pokemon, but a few stick out as notable.

The scars over her eye and on her chin were given to her by her father when she was about 8, he broke a glass bottle over her head while she was defending her mother and sister from his rage.

In the center of her chest is a harsh scar of almost mangled looking flesh with a notable divot in the center, which was earned after she got pinned under a Slither Wing and stabbed with its claw. She only survived because of the other Elites rushing her to the hospital, where she stayed in the ICU for several months. It now affects her ability to breathe freely, and any strikes to her chest will result in her breaking down into a coughing fit, very easy to knock the wind out of her.

On her arms, they're not so much scars, but Tera crystal embedded just under the top layer of skin. (Pictured below. They're on both arms, even though the art only depicts them on one side. Drawn by Syd! @earth-master ) These were earned during the first venture into Area zero with Giovanni and Red. Fighting against the ghostly remnant of Sada's AI in the labs network, she was afflicted with a condition known as "Teralysis", where Tera crystal starts replacing the bodies soft tissue with crystal. The condition has 4 stages in total, but she thankfully didn't go past stage 2, as at stage 4 you become fully crystalized if you can't make the necessary saves. Her arms were the only things encased in crystal after that battle, thankfully, which shed off slowly before Matsuba got to her and managed to help cure her of the worst of it, the embedded crystals being the last remnant of the condition.

I'll also include a full scar map drawn by @g1ga-byte under the cut, as it's entirely topless, but yeah! That's the basic jist of her most notable scars, feel free to ask questions if you're curious about specific ones :D

[ask-octoberotto]

Heya this is Neith from another verse. I was prompted to speak with you about (P)NH(C) virus. Which, I suppose, means... literaly everything about it? It started in OsCorp labs, that I was told, but what was it meant to do? What it did/does when not stopped? What was attempted to stop/heal it? What is affected (type of) population and is there a pre-exposure vaccine? If you know how to send files across the borders, that may be a great time to use that skill, any byte of info is nice. I and my benefactors want only good, I so swear.

And in the other news, I have a list of terms to ask about also, because umm. Pax became quite angry when questioned about those, and it seems like she doesnt know anything despite all of them being globe-span things. I quote, “your experiences are not universal”. Which, if true, means fundamental differences I cant reconcile with on the spot. Anyways, the list follows: Admiral(person, "A" capitalised); Aretes(the organisation); Dragonhearts(the organisation); Greatest biologist of Earth; Plural Plagues(or any event matching that name); Hellhole(in context of Washington, and any others); Hydra(the organisation); North Sentinel Island; OsCorp biology division; Top Alley House(the place). I dont demand the full dissertation on each, I just want to realise whats different and how much so. - Neith

Oh. Christ. Ok, you’re.. quite lucky I’m not too swamped with work. I don’t have the time to fulfill everything that you’ve requested from me (I’m… not doing an actual dissertation for a tumblr ask, sorry) but I will try to answer as best as I can regardless. This gets long so I’m putting it under a read more.

So, firstly, I will have to firmly ask that you to please refrain from agitating Pax any further. One of the prominent symptoms of severe Post NH virus Condition (PNHC) comes in the form of increased irritation/aggression along with emotional deregulation and to keep triggering that is to make an individual more hostile and more likely to.. uh.. respond with violence.. 

Though I doubt you’ll experience much of this aside from some harsh words from her, but as her doctor, I have to ask you leave her be for now so she doesn’t either bring herself or others harm. We really don’t need a situation to evolve because of this big misunderstanding. Also if you’re wondering why Ez is able to visit her, it’s because she trusts them deeply and Ez is unable to be notably harmed by Pax. Speaking with Ez does her a lot of good!

Anyway, you can find more specifics on the symptoms here on NH virus and here on the resulting PNHC, but generally speaking, when one gets infected with the Noctis Hectica (NH) Virus, it generally has a massively negative impact on the brain.. In some ways, it functions somewhat similar to a form of rabies, though there are key differences between the two retroviruses. The most notable being the physiological changes brought on by an infection of NH, with one of the biggest indicators being the changes to the eyes. Even in early stages, the eyes are usually one of the first things to be heavily altered, as patients tend to experience severe photophobia/eye pain, a rapid development of choroidal tapetum cellulosum, and loss of eye pigmentation, turning the previous eye color to a silvery-white color.

At the moment, two different vaccines have been developed, by yours truly, pre-exposure and post-exposure vaccines. We’re.. still trying to do drug discovery for the treatment of PNHC but so far, there seems to be no cure for it. This is more something that one has to manage with medication and other treatments such as therapy for years, possibly lifelong in the severe cases. It’s a very debilitating condition and those who are affected often need at least some level of support to manage it.

Most infected tend to be human but other animals (usually mammals but there was a jump to reptiles at a point) that have been reported to either carry or show symptoms of NH virus. Also I’d love to send more detailed documentation to you but.. that’s not my decision to make. Because I work with the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance (BSAA) there are some things I am not allowed to disclose and quite frankly? I don’t really want to entrust this sensitive information to an organization I’ve never even heard of. And neither would my superiors.

Which speaking of… I’m afraid Pax is correct with her repeated statement to you. I don’t really know how else to put this to you but, what may be true to your dimension, is not inherently true to another. To assume that it is… extremely shortsighted at best and kind of arrogant at worst, considering you’ve been told twice (now thrice) that it wasn’t the case and yet you don’t seem to really get it.

I.. I understand it’s not something that’s easy to accept and I understand it’s a big adjustment to learn about the multiverse. But you need to listen to me when I say we literally do not have any these other organizations aside from OsCorp, which was a biotechnology company until very recently when they developed the NH virus and ended up causing a massive outbreak in the city of Baltimore, leading to hundreds of thousands of deaths (estimates are approx. 492,000 known deaths) and causalities (50,631) and disappearances (about 28,500 still unaccounted for) related to the Baltimore Incident as of 2082.

Though the situation is mainly secured by now, the Outbreak did a lot of damage to the city and surrounding neighborhoods and resulted in most of the population of Baltimore being either injured or killed as a result. Those responsible have also died during the outbreak but there are a few fugitives still at large, namely the former CEO of OsCorp, Nora Veronica Osborn. Hopefully, the BSAA will find her and she will be held responsible for the amount deaths and destruction her company has caused.

If the other organizations/persons/etc. mentioned existed as prevalently as you say it should in our dimension, I would know. Aside from being the guy who developed the first vaccines for the NH virus (and currently the only person who was not involved with OsCorp that is a leading expert on this virus as I studied it.. far too closely while was trapped in Baltimore), I am virologist and immunologist who has studied many different viral agents over the years, especially viruses that are tied to biological warfare such as the much older Tyrant Virus (T-Virus) and its variants.

So in short? Pax said it best: your experiences are not universal.

What is true in your universe may not even exist in another. Hope this clears everything up and no, I do not want to repeat myself anymore than I have to.

Have a nice day.

Mega Man X3 Ending

The Doppler stages are mostly fine (except for that snail session) and it’s here that the game does something interesting:

if you didn’t beat both Bit and Byte with their weaknesses you get to fight their combined form (even if one of them is dead....) which I actually prefer over the boss you fight if you were to kill them both instead.

If you killed Vile and approach the first boss door with Zero and kill the robot mosquito Zero gets badly damaged (really?) and hands you his saber which is basically a 1 hit kill even against bosses

If you didn’t get any of the secret chips from the pink Light Capsules there’s a secret one in Doppler 1 that appears if you got everything else in the game and approach it with maximum health and Sub Tanks that gives you the Golden Armor, which has all chips equipped at once.

Doppler is fucking boring to fight and I’m glad to know that the best cure for the Sigma Virus is apparently a good dose of acid on the head.

Also yeah this game establishes that Sigma is a virus, that one line of dialogue is the only thing keeping this basically filler game from being completely worthless plot wise.

I know the final Sigma fight is notorious, and for good reason, mostly because of his bullshit tiny hitbox, with the modified charge shot of the Buster Upgrade really screwing you over here, but honsetly he’s got a pretty simple and repetitive pattern so nowadays I don’t think he’s too unforgiving if you pay attentiom.

I’ve got more issues with the raising lava section that comes right after him because it’s beyond cheap. Oh sure it does little damage, but you can get crushed between the lava and the ceiling and your first time, with Sigma hitting you like an asshole, it WILL happen and you WILL have to fight him again.

Also thanks for spoiling the X VS Zero fight in X5 epilogue!
