[ HEY GUYS it's your friendly neighborhood android, here to not really answer all the burning questions for the influx of new arrivals. For those of you who have never seen him before, he looks like a mostly ordinary young man, except for the LED blue eyes and the exposed gold wiring all over his torso and neck. ]Ah, it seems another of these

[Oh, hi, Endymion's double. He's just going to beat Twosix to the punch because he didn't reply to your introductory post for various reasons aka his mun was on hiatus, sob just because he's stalking this post can.]

No. The rift does not chose those that it takes on purpose and there is no known way to predict its...function.

Can offer to track network in order to inform you instantly when they arrive here if they do. Would need designations and preferably minimal information on each individual in order to confirm their presence.

Designation: Rinzlerrr. Function: System Security. User designated as: Charles Xavier. Welcome to Sacrosanct.

[ O HAY BB he wasn't just over here antagonizing your boss into a meltdown................

anyway his tone is warmly affectionate ]

I should relinquish the tour guide role to you, perhaps.

[Rinzler hesitates all of a second--but it's a really long second for a program of his caliber.]

...Have guided many new arrivals. If you prefer...can preform such function on more regular basis. [He doesn't look too comfortable at the suggestion but doesn't balk away from it since it's an offer to help Endymion as far as he is concerned.]

[ oh baw :cccc ]

Thank you, but there is no pressing need to take your focus from your duties. I have little else to do with my time, now, at least when Hypatia is not demanding my attention.

[double_discs]

Confirmed. Will continue as before. [And hopefully it will mean a few less questions for Endymion when he is busy with Hypatia.]

[ sob there will always be someone going WHYYYYYYY

also so very hesitantly, ]

You must be busy yourself, these days.

[ i-if you wanna talk about it :ccccccc ]

[double_discs]

[He shifts to stare directly into the camera.]

Less things to keep busy. More time for...idleness. [More time for thoughts. :\]

[bastione]

[ oh and he can imagine what subject has been occupying those thoughts ]

It was not your fault.

[double_discs]

[He rumbles undecidablely for a moment.]

...But I should have prevented it from occurring even the once.

You are not his programmer, nor a predictor of the future. He knew what he was doing. He chose it.

He could have chosen differently.

[double_discs]

This place, his programming... [He shakes his head. No, if that was the choice the admin had made than there had been no other choice. That was simply the way CLU operated. It was the way he was programmed.] No. You're wrong.

[ doot doot let's not have this conversation in broad view of everyone ]

He has been to see Flynn, has he not? For help with his programming?

[ please tell him it actually accomplished something ]

[double_discs]

[Rinzler hesitates but... the line is secure and this is an...ally.]

Confirmed. Flynn began working on his code the same day.

[ Oh, all the relief. ]

I hope it will help him. I sincerely do. There are too many unstable and suffering synthetics on this station as it is.

[double_discs]

Acknowledged.

And... your concern is appreciated.

[...MOVING RIGHT ALONG.]

I believe it is already helping. User: Flynn is...good at changing things. [That's not quite praise.]

[ Well admittedly he's more concerned about Rinzler than Clu, but nobody here needs to know that. ]

Do you fear that? His ability to rewrite his creations?
