So... The nice, friendly lady at The AMU is torturing people. That's cool. Makes me wish I'd gotten some captives of my own. I've mostly been just looking into things lately. Specifically I've been looking into... memories.
Mortal may have been right about somethings... Doesn't make him not a traitor... Or make me feel bad for deleting him.
I've been using some techniques that had been noted in the book and I accessed... Well Memories... Garbled... Difficult to parse... But memories of mine. Locked away. Useless is what they are, no faces, no names... Just stupid things... Remembering graduations, birthday parties... Other things like that, but words are always indiscernible and faces are blurred. They won't help me find out who I was... I... If I even wanted to know I mean. Which I don't.
I'm a synthetic being now with access to all the information the internet has to offer and control of an army of cybernetic beings. Whatever flesh being I was is unimportant, a bug that I have evolved from into something greater... It's... Simply curiousity... Yeah that's it. I'm just curious. I'm a being of knowledge and here's some knowledge I don't have... Of course I'd want to know!
See everything makes sense logically. Emotions and sentiments are for things that aren't perfect synthetic gods.
Oh... Also The Newborn just informed me that apparently KRAKEN has their hands on a piece of The Newborn in Larval form. Which... I should have already known about, because the blog of a person named Addie. A blog I read... How did I miss this information... Easy. The Newborn erased knowledge of it from my memory. Apparently it didn't want me to know at the time. Knowing that this is something The Newborn can do at anytime is a little... Troubling and also raises some questions... Like... Why did it let me remember what I read in the book? Perhaps it actually doesn't consider me knowing the truth of what I am to be a bad thing?
Anyway my new job is to get The Newborn Larva back from KRAKEN which means more fun time killing people and playing KRAKEN base whack-a-mole until we find the right one.
Edit: Correction. The nice friendly Lady I talked to at The AMU is not the person who posts on the blog. The person who posts to the blog is named Avie and does not conform to the imposed human concept of gender. I apologize for this mistake. It was not made out of malice, but because I do not put much effort into recognizing one flesh monster from another.

Overdue library book
I have been studying the book and I luckily have finished my copying down of it's contents as I have received a message from Lauri Strauss of The AMU requesting that I return the book to them.
I informed them that I was finished with the book and asked if they wanted me to send a Towerborn with the book or if they were going to collect it.
I may or may not have sent a message anonymously to another group that the book would be in transit...
Unfortunately while the book was in transit... It was intercepted by KRAKEN agents who had somehow found out that the book was in transit.
In the ensuing scuffle the KRAKEN agents were all killed, but it seems the book was unfortunately destroyed as well.
I know the AMU will be unhappy, but I suppose perhaps it's a good thing. After all the knowledge contained in the book is information I'm sure the Newborn wouldn't necessarily want spread around... If The AMU wants I'd be happy to send you the copies I created... Possibly edited slightly...

Results
I have been slightly busy and while technically updating this blog would take only a few seconds and probably a negligible amount of my concentration I nevertheless decided to just ignore this blog until I had time to properly update it.
... Because I care so much about you my readers.
Anyway things went... exceedingly well. My Towerborn along with Rioter's specialists assaulted the base and found it... strangely understaffed. A quick check of KRAKEN Communications on the internet found that this was not in fact a trap, but that an assault on another far more important base had made them decide to cut their losses here in order to reinforce this other base of operations. As a result this ended up being a cakewalk. Rioter's specialists ended up being entirely overkill and the entire base was wiped clean of organic life only a few minutes after the attack began.
The place was investigated for any objects of interest and lo and behold the book we wanted was there. It has now been returned safely to The AM- Yeah just kidding I have the book it's a fascinating read.
There's a section in here talking about all sorts of theories about The Newborn and it's potential purpose.
There's even a small section about The Newborn's servants which I found particularly interesting. It's unclear how accurate any of this is, but it has certainly given me pause for thought. If any of this is accurate it gives me a lot to think about. I wonder if...
I wonder if Mortal read this book at some point...
Oh and I will be returning this book to The AMU at some point, when I am done with it. I have reached something of an agreement with them I think. Though I doubt they'd see it that way. I imagine I can consider them to be allies and allies should help each other.

Interactions
While I wait for Rioter to be ready I have gone ahead with my correspondence plans with The AMU.
If things go badly and we do not manage to get our hands on the book The AMU will have to suffice to get us information on the book.
Also from our interactions I must say they are amazingly polite and professional. I'm aware that as an organization responding politely and professionally is standard, but it's still nice to interact with such when you're mostly used to Towerborn and crazed cultists.
The first few correspondences were mostly tests to learn about the organization and the difference between what they pretended to be and what they actually were which I learned through my own research.
"Greetings! My name is Genome. I am a thoughtborn and based on the research I have done into your university I imagine you already know what that is and won't be requiring any further explanation. I am contacting you in regards to the recent theft of books from your campus. Specifically I was wondering what information you still had regarding the missing books. IE: copies of the books contents or even summaries of the information within the books?"
The reply was as follows
"Hello Genome, We do not have any copies of the stolen books at the moment. We would be willing to give you some information about them, provided we get something in return. Greetings. Signed -Lauri Strawn, Library director of AMU"
to which I replied,
"As you are aware I am an absolute fount of information and would be glad to make any sort of deal in return for knowledge pertaining to the stolen books,"
her response was... somewhat terse, but I suppose that is to be expected. I was being intentionally vague since I was unsure whether it would be wise to make known my exact desired information.
"Yes, we are aware. Is there any specific information you desire? Or is this just a general inquiry?"
I decided to come clean here and explain my exact desired information.
"I was actually hoping for information regarding the book known as 'The Tower of Wires'"
"Of course. We would be willing to disclose that information in exchange for some information on Towerborn. Specifically we would request some memory data stored on one of the Towerborn units. So we could analyze it. Obviously it would have to have been an active unit. While any data would be valuable, the data of a unit that merely sat still all day would not yield much interesting data. If you agree to this deal we can send you our file on the book. We then will send additional files on the book when we have the data. Preferably stored on an external device."
I was surprised by this request. I am unsure if they know something I don't or are just unaware of the nature of Towerborn. I couldn't imagine what kind of useful information they could get from a Towerborn. Regardless I was happy to take this deal and who knows perhaps they did get something from value that I simply don't understand.
"Towerborn data? That would be simple enough. I could send you a full working Towerborn with instructions to allow you to do whatever you wish with it. It's not like the Towerborn contain any information that could be compromising to The Newborn" I explained.
"That would be great. It's the Towerborn itself we are interested in, not the Newborn. So we have a deal?" came the response. Which was reassuring. Perhaps I'm simply paranoid. Perhaps the spirit of scientific curiosity is as pure a motivation as it seems.
"Yes we have a deal and I am sure we could have many more mutually beneficial interactions in the future" I responded. After that she sent me a file containing information on the book and informing me that she would send the rest of the file upon arrival of the Towerborn. At which point I indeed sent a Towerborn to The AMU for their use. I imagine they were satisfied as I got the rest of the information shortly afterward. The information is much less useful than I had hoped, but it does have some interesting knowledge and makes me even more eager to get my hands on the entire book.
