{Unified Universe Project} [Text]
I'm really sorry. I think the network is almost repaired. I'm not sure on that, but I think.
Yes, they do.
Greg. I'm with the Unified Universe Project, but as I've been saying for years, I'm the codemonkey.

I'm Rose. Hey, code can be pretty important. Can change the world with code, you know.
So the Unified Universe Project... that's what landed us in this place then is it?

Thank you. Are you aware of what caused the problems in the first place?
No you.
Who needs doctorates and internships when you get to do what we did? I don't regret skipping residency. I hate hospitals anyways. They're such downer places.
You were the bright spot of DC, definitely. [bluuushhhinnggg] Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I tried to get people to watch that with me you know. No sense of irony.

We're going to get stuck in a loop with that.
Well, I don't know. Being a Ph.D. would have been nice, in it's own way. I wouldn't change any of it either, though.
I saw that movie! I always wondered what happened after. Did they regain their memories over time?

NO YOU! ...Yeah ok done.
The only time people call me Dr. Brink is when we're faking it to the public or when I'm in deep. So you're still not missing anything.
I think they were supposed to, that was the more romantic ending. Personally I was rooting for Elijah Wood's character. The science was all bogus anyways.

Thank you, Topher.
Well, Dr. Halverson sounds like some sort of pro-biotic cheese label. I just mean in the sense of knowing I'd done it. None of us go into programming to see our names on documents or the news. We aren't headliners.
Very bogus. Elijah Wood's character...ehn. I could have done without him. Instead of copying her boyfriend directly he should have tried to learn her in a different way. Besides, the main problem with the romantic ending is that the issues inherent in their relationship were never resolved, so they were going to just break up all over again eventually.

and now watch KK bullshit about a movie she never saw. DOH.

But you know you could do it, so why do you need to? The whole academic process is antiquated and run on politics based on who sleeps with whom and who you got to peer review your last paper! The world's not run by academics--look what happened to our current president! Man's got crazy companies nearly destroying the world with secret tech--bet he didn't learn that at Columbia!
No way, E-Wood was the man behind the gray matter curtain. One of us! Why reinvent the road when there's tracks there to follow, so to speak. I bet their cyclical romance is a metaphor for something. Circle of life stuff.

You remember the first time you didn't finish an assignment because you realized it didn't matter, they weren't paying attention to your work anyway because they expected that sort of thing from you? Maybe even resented it? The way it was kind of frustrating until you made it a game for yourself and not the rest of them?
It's kind of like that.
I'll bet he would have failed at it too. I mean, there's a lot to be said about natural progression versus...what he was doing, which was like reading an old discarded imprint and using it for a handbook on dating. If it worked that way, we'd get more permanent imprints being married off. But if only one person grows and the other doesn't, or doesn't know how, it gets messy or so I think.

Sort of? I actually spent a lot of my time doing other people's assignments for them for extra cash. I look back and consider it training for my current job making imprints. Well that and playing a ton of RPGs. But I kinda get what you're saying. Validation is validation, particularly if you get something personal out of it.
Are there really that many permanent imprints? They degrade over time and that's another kinky in the whole 'happy ever after part'. Honestly? After watching Echo, Sierra and Victor, I think we're deluding ourselves. They can grow. The imprint probably isn't the problem--we can make them be the perfect mate. It's the other side of the equation that's fail. So maybe it wasn't necessarily Elijah Wood's techniques that were wrong after all.

I wonder if there is a gender differential there. I mean, no one offered me money to do their homework, just a lot of things I didn't want or need from them.
So, yes, I would've liked it for me and no one else.
There aren't, for exactly that reason. I guess you have a point. Still, I don't think it would've worked.

No. He's not. Or hacking when it's done to him. He's actually not a fan of much. Though I think he has a football team he follows.
As nice as some of you are, that doesn't change the whole invasion or Outsiders things.
Well, he probably won't like me much will he?
Can't win them all.
Can't win them all.
The whole world? You're talking about the Matrix?
Yes. It's what got all of us here.
Yes. It's what got all of us here.
We tried to make network upgrades to keep the signals strong and secure. It's hard to work with things when there's no electricity out there and no satellites in orbit.
Something wasn't coded right, though, and it took out the visual functions of the PCD.

I bet I could have had it fixed by now.
Will do. After this is fixed and I've gotten a nap.
If you don't mind me asking, secure against what?
Like the movie? Nah, not quite like that. I just have this friend back where I came from, he's saved the world just by knowing the proper codes, knowing how to hack things. More than once.
Right. You're all form earth then? I mean, unless they made the Matrix over here too, I suppose.

I don't know that he likes anyone except Malkovich, so you're not losing anything.
You keep thinking that, Outsider.
