Who: Shy and Computer
When: Thursday May 21st, 11PM
Where: Shy's Room
What: Computer is worrying over the mental state of its other half.
What to do about Shy? It was the big question at the moment, Shy presumed. What to do about the reclusive little mutant who ruled Revolve from a small, darkened room? What to do about the quiet god who ensured the island and all its inhabitants had as smooth and easy lives as possible? What to do to keep this frail yet valuable little life form continuing his efforts and to prevent him from doing unthinkable things to those who angered him?
There was no need to ask such a foolish question, Shy scoffed to himself. All Shy wanted was to rule his kingdom, to oversee his little section of the globe and to be left in peace. No guards bothering him, no rations of the chocolate he so loved, no restrictions on where he could and could not go on the vast expanses of cyberspace he so dearly loved. Let Shy be, and Shy would be happy. At least, that was what one part of Shy thought.
The slightly weaker side of Shy, which Shy called Computer, was very worried about its more dominant half. Shy had always been disconnected, aloof and uninterested, but the detached, slightly arrogant boy was moving into something far more dangerous, sinister even, and Computer did not approve. Unfortunately, Shy was much more powerful than was Computer, and had sentenced his other personality to a seeming eternity in a small firewalled compartment in his brain. Computer was not strong enough to overcome the blockades Shy had set up, but that did not mean that Computer was entirely without resources.
No one knew Shy's annoyances, his weaknesses better than Shy himself, and while Shy insisted that Computer was not truly him, Computer knew better. It had begun tracking Shy's activities, his attentions, his habits and had found ways to slip beneath the youth's radars. Shy could multi task and keep track of a million details all at once, but he willingly allowed certain details to go unnoticed for the sake of processing. The slave networks he had set up were allowed to function without his scrutinizing every detail of every action they did, and Computer had found ways to disguise itself as these processes. Posing as a slave drive, Computer was able to slip out of the little confined box Shy had placed it in and set to work. The times were frustratingly few and it had to be very careful not to attract the attention of the more dominant personality, but something had to be done.
Computer was waiting, planning and carefully building up options. It was ready to sabotage, enrage and hinder Shy in every possible way were the youth to reach a point where Computer feared it would never have its friend back. Shy was strange and quite antisocial by the dictionary definition, but Computer knew more of the boy than anyone else, and it knew there was something good in the technology mutant. It had faith in the positives its other personality could do. The problem was, Shy was now attempting to bury that good, and Computer did not approve.
Ribbon was the first key, as Shy had not fully locked that door. Fischer was a closed door, not locked, but at the moment, firmly closed as he feared what Shy could do in an angry moment. Not that he feared without reason, but the risk was worth the gain to Computer. Timing its actions carefully, Computer slipped into the data path the slave drives were using and issued a message to Ribbon's computer, careful to ensure its encryption was no different from the usual emails sent to her by Fischer, for Computer still feared being caught in its actions. Shy needed help, even if Shy firmly believed he did not need help, and Computer was not going to rest until it had seen to it that Shy had received that help. Its message was simple, and it assumed no one but Ribbon, Shy and itself would understand it.
