So, catching up with everyone:

-The AI is in Quentin's brain and he can't access that part of his mind anymore.

-There's a tiny Phoenix inside me, no, I'm not possessed yet.

-Kurt's been sentenced and showing side effects of it, namely, turning into stone.

I feel that we all should discuss these things. Or at least, be aware of it. Also, Morph, Rogue, got anything to share? Might as well add to the list.

And you're for sure it ain't gonna control ya later, right? I know you can't access it, but it's not gonna just wake up suddenly and take over?

[querulus]

i mean

it already had control of all of reality, time, space, horizontal, vertical. the whole kit and kaboodle.

if anything taking over me would be a downgrade. and believe me, i do not say that lightly. i'm fucking amazing.

in any case, it hasn't exactly been in a big hurry to say hi thus far.

[southernchere]

Or maybe it's buyin its time.

[knowing how that sounds, she rephrases:]

Sorry. I know ya'll say it was askin for help and all, and I do get it. Just. After dealin with Genosha, the prime sentinels, and everythin with Bastion... I'm still havin a hard time trusting any sort of AI anythin.

[querulus]

i've fought my fair share of sentinels too, you know. not to mention the million-year-old technopath psycho space bacteria or the angry time-travel brain robot or the 5 dozen other freaks and geeks who've made trouble in our neighborhood. hell, nimrod just crashed our latest mutant island paradise. shit sucks.

way i see it, if we're going to start kicking things to the curb because they're powerful and scary and we had some bad experiences with their kind, we might as well hang up the spandex and turn in our mutant cards. i mean, isn't being hated and feared because we're walking wmds like our whole deal? surely that's not just my world.

[southernchere]

It's not.

[...]

I just want justice for Remy. Whatever path or choice that'll lead me to it, that's all I want. It's all I can ever think about these days.

[querulus]

right

say, how's carol danvers doing these days, rogue?

[Quentin doesn't know for sure that this Rogue has the same messy history with the former Ms. Marvel, but based on the powerset she clearly has on long-term loan, he can guess. He also knows it's not entirely fair to bring this up, but quite frankly, she's the one who made this about her own personal baggage first.]

[reading that sentence shakes her core, and she takes a second to inhale a slow breath to calm herself. this is a conversation she is not going to have with him out in the open, especially when others can easily read on.]

If ya start feelin like sumthin is rattling in ya, let one of us know, alright? I've been hearin these folks have been frettin about the AI, but maybe knowin no news is good news will ease their mind a bit.
