>>5320874Gonna be a slow-ish, piecewise-y update again cause formatting Ermac-speak is a bitch.“Won’t FutureLabs know it’s you once your program infects their system?” He might as well have made a program that broadcasted <span class="mu-i">“I’m alive, assholes!”</span> onto each and every screen in the facility.
Because FutureLabs will definitely <span class="mu-i">know,</span> and, boy, will they be pissed once the dust settles…
<span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-b">“They will know. They just won’t be able to do anything about it unless they shut the whole thing down– even if they reboot it, most of their computing systems will end up getting either fried or deleted.”</span></span> He reminds you of the <span class="mu-i">secondary</span> purpose of that mission, which is essentially to stick it to Atticus Charles.
“Aren’t you worried they’ll try to kill your real body?” The fact that you’ll try to stop that need not be said, because that’s a given.
<span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-b">“No. I don’t feel worried at all.”</span></span> If Eddie had a head, you’re sure he’d be shaking it at you. <span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-b">“Maybe if I were in a human body with human-type responses, I would be, but you need to remember that this whole situation is a Catch 22, essentially: if I return to my body, Ernst will suffer greatly. If Ernst escapes, then I will be killed immediately.”</span></span>
<span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-b">“Like I said before, you just have to time it correctly.”</span></span> He reminds you. “Estimated time of program completion is up to seventy-two hours.” The way Eddie says that reminds you of an actual machine, but you can’t stop the small smile that forms on your face because that’s not much time at all!
<span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-b">“Damn… taking care of a body sucks, but I can’t wait to have a cold one again. Or five…”</span></span> Eddie's emotionless facade breaks for the briefest moment, and the screen flashes a few times again in what you think might be slight embarrassment.
