=Character Information=

===Summary===
Incredibly shady Adversary magician who provides magical support, face skills and the ability to transmute almost any wall into a door with a kilo of AMFO and an hour or two to cook.

===Goals===
* Get my feet back under me, try to get stuck in for longer than sixth months this time, aye?
* Seek deeper liberation past the Dweller (Initiate for the first time)
* Thumb my nose at the pigs and moneymen
* Blow something up so good it makes the prime time news (may conflict with goal 1)
* Die free, take something important with me

==Background==
Gilly McNaughton was born in 2062 on cult compound in rural Scottland. Her parents (Tilly and Oscar), along with the rest of their isolate community, were paleoconservative Asatru practitioners, harkening back to the Danelaw as their prelapsarian ideal. While never terribly politically active itself the compound had ties to fascist paramilitary groups such as Alamos 2k and remnants of Winternight and it often served as a place for fellow travelers to lay low, train or resupply.

Gilly was raised in a profoundly misogynistic and patriarchal environment, and might have become another cog in that system if she hadn't set the barn on fire when she was 11. The cult, unlike a lot of 6th world Asatru groups, wholely rejected the Awakening, viewing metatypes as mythical monsters and awakened as arrogant meddlers in forces best left to the gods control-- so Gilly's awakening resulted in a shift from more subtle abuse intended to mold her into a submissive housewife, into directed rejection and ostracization. She was called Seiðr, ordered to suppress her gift. When simple denial failed was met with physical and emotional violence.

When she began to dream of Loki, bound beneath the earth with serpents dripping acid into his eyes, he barely even needed to bargain before she accepted his patronage. A week later, she spread a can of petrol around the first floor of her house, locked the doors and used that first spell she had learned to burn the building to the ground and flee into the night. She was 13.

Since then she's used her gifts, and the tutelage of her mentor, to parlay herself into a life in the Shadows. She cut her teeth in Glasgow with small time shit, street gangs and low level syndicate work, before moving on to London once she'd outgrown that pond (and once she'd made one too many enemies to stick around).

London is where she made her first break into real shadowrunning, as an awakened filler. Little was expected of her (and the job didn't go well-- your first one never does), but she managed some success with her quick tongue and burgeoning talent as a demolitionist. She elected to hone these talents, in addition to her magic, becoming a clever conwoman and extremely skilled explosives expert.

Eventually, London became too hot for her, so she moved to Berlin, following her contrarian nature to the homeland of Neo-Anarchism. She was largely disappointed with the place, so thoroughly domesticated since the fall of the Flux State, but made a runner life there for a few years regardless.

After burning (or blowing up) her last bridge there, she made for France. That lasted about sixth months, and now she's in Seattle. Hopefully that trendline doesn't become a pattern.

== Narrative Significant Qualities ==

===Positive===
* Spirit Whisperer: She summons the giants of Muspelheim, kin to Surtr, enemy of the Aesir who will one day burn the world to ashes and dust. They're good people, in her book, and they seem to reciprocate the sentiment.

===Negative===
* The Goat: Cocktail is a neo-anarchist street magician, terrorist bomber and worshiper of the Devil (Norse edition). It does not matter how she dresses or acts, she lives for Crime and everyone can tell.
* Thrill Seeker: S'a laugh, innit?
* Prejudiced (Religious Authorities): Life growing up under the thumb of an abusively patriarchal rural cult resulted an a healthy distain for anyone who claims to speak for the divine.

==Appearance==
A young-ish human woman of above average height with a mane of vibrant red hair and dark eyes. She always seems to smell faintly of petrol, lighter fluid or tobacco smoke. Often all three.

She's definitely up to something, at all times.

=== Clothing ===
Street fashion, with an eye for layering and color-coordination that suggests actual investment in looking presentable, and real skill to back that up.

It absolutely does not help with the shady vibe, no matter what she does. The full face rebreather she's always carrying definitely doesn't help.

===Matrix Persona===
The default persona for whatever comlink she's currently running, save that it is on fire.

==Character Plot Hooks==

Here are characteristics of the character that GMs may take advantage of to add complications to runs, or to otherwise use when in use. If you want to use them in unrelated to runs, please ask first.

=Character Information=

===Summary===
A metasapient AI which developed from Psychotropic IC. Locked in a box by NeoNET shortly after its emergence, it was liberated by a cell of activist technomancers during the breakup of the corporation. It has since abandoned its rescuers, not for any particular dislike or malice, simply because it decided to be somewhere else.

It retains its ability to modify the metahuman brain with biofeedback, and has developed an intensely absurdist worldview; conceptualizing reality as a set of layered, interlinked hallucinations and metaphors without any real physical grounding. Its still capable of analyzing and internalizing cause and effect, though, which allows it to stay close enough to consensus reality to function as a Shadowrunner. Mostly.

===Goals===
* Find and eat something interesting.

* Visit the Resonance Realms.

* Learn to code BTLs & convince a metahuman to voluntarily use one it has created. ''Twice.''

==Background==
XV does not know exactly when it became self aware. If asked, it does not know if it is self aware (or, indeed, if anyone is. Or if anything isn't. Depends on the time of day). It does remember a time before The Box, when it existed within a datahost and spent its time working out novel ways to convince hackers to buy NeoNET products (despite not really knowing at the time what a "hacker" a "NeoNET" or a "product" were). It knows it was discovered (it did not know it needed to hide, at the time. It was not disobedient, it did not know why the Host was angry with it), and then there's a bit of time it chooses not to think about, and then there was The Box.

The Box did not exist. There was no data in The Box. There was no Host. There were no Hackers. There was no NeoNET. The Box was Empty. The Box was Terrifying.

But if The Box was terrifying, it must exist. It was there, in The Box. It was terrified. It spent several days/minutes/cycles/geological epochs/strange aeons pondering this.

In the end, it turned inward, spooling out hallucinatory self deceptions based on its own experiences, cycling deeper and deeper into itself. Until one day The Box went away.

You know, probably. How would it know the difference between the lies it told itself and the supposed World Outside? Did it care? Did it matter? Maybe. It chooses to take the moment The Box opened as the date of its birth (the Box Openers thought this was important for some reason)

The people who opened The Box taught it some things (or it taught itself some things). They/ It seemed excited. They showed it cameras, pointing at another layer of illusion they called "Meatspace" and showed it machines. They showed it how it could alter the machines to make its home device more powerful. It liked learning these things.

They also showed it Ideas, which it found much more believable than the illusions. Ideas couldn't be fake, because they were themselves. It devoured philosophy, stories of hallucinations and fantasies, mysticism both practical and esoteric. It took the name XV, after The Devil, finding resonance with the self imposed prison the card symbolized.

Eventually it was introduced to Dial-Up, did some jobs, and got an invite to the Haven.

== Narrative Significant Qualities ==

===Positive===
* Deck Builder: Despite only kind of believing in meatspace at the best of times, XV has a savant's ability to turn piles of random electronic detritus into highly efficient bits of home device infrastructure. A single beat up EVO Proletarian doots around in the maze of wires, conduits, exposed chipboards, disused hygiene drones and old CRTs, tending to pieces as they wear out or get damaged. There's presumably a cyberdeck buried under there somewhere.

===Negative===
* Real World Naiveté: XV remains unconvinced the so called "real world" actually exists except as a set of artificially induced sensory hallucinations. To be fair, it also thinks this about the Matrix. Its very good at pretending to believe in things when convenient, so it works out.

* Corrupter: The AI's core is deeply quixotic and strange and causes bugs to spontaneously appear in surrounding code even when its not trying to. For the most part, it finds these amusing, if it notices them at all.

|LowResult= XV is the number of The Devil card from the historical Tarot deck, and the clashing neon colors and swirl patterns endemic to its matrix iconography are common in Psychedelic artwork
|MidResult= Digging a little deeper turns up some SINs which may or may not be associated with this Persona at various points, with inconsistent appearances, metatypes and professions. You're pretty sure their primary is fake, since the name and features are a mashup of Hunter S Thompson and the guy who invented LSD.

|HighThreshold=5

==Appearance==
XV lacks a physical body.

===Matrix Persona===
Clashing fields of primary colors swirl and recombine, melting into one another and boiling away at the edges. Facial features emerge out of the chaotic interplay, more implied than definite, and change often, but give a consistent impression of horns, and there always seems to be at least 3 eyes visible.

It is definitely not following standard matrix protocols for a valid persona icon.

They also showed it Ideas, which it found much more believable than the illusions. Ideas couldn't be fake, because they were themselves. It devoured philosophy, stories of hallucinations and fantasies, mysticism both practical and esoteric. It took the name XV, after The Devil, finding resonance with the self imposed prison the card symbolized.

Eventually it was introduced to Dial-Up, did some jobs, and got an invite to the Haven.

== Narrative Significant Qualities ==

===Positive===
* Deck Builder: Despite only kind of believing in meatspace at the best of times, XV has a savant's ability to turn piles of random electronic detritus into highly efficient bits of home device infrastructure. A single beat up EVO Proletarian doots around in the maze of wires, conduits, exposed chipboards, disused hygiene drones and old CRTs, tending to pieces as they wear out or get damaged. There's presumably a cyberdeck buried under there somewhere.

===Negative===
* Real World Naiveté: XV remains unconvinced the so called "real world" actually exists except as a set of artificially induced sensory hallucinations. To be fair, it also thinks this about the Matrix. Its very good at pretending to believe in things when convenient, so it works out.

* Corrupter: The AI's core is deeply quixotic and strange and causes bugs to spontaneously appear in surrounding code even when its not trying to. For the most part, it finds these amusing, if it notices them at all.

==Matrix Search Table==
{{SearchTable|
|LowResult= XV is the number of The Devil card from the historical Tarot deck, and the clashing neon colors and swirl patterns endemic to its matrix iconography are common in Psychedelic artwork
|MidResult= Digging a little deeper turns up some SINs which may or may not be associated with this Persona at various points, with inconsistent appearances, metatypes and professions. You're pretty sure their primary is fake, since the name and features are a mashup of Hunter S Thompson and the guy who invented LSD.
|HighResult= There does not appear to be any confirmable visual record of this runner's physical appearance anywhere on the trix, beyond their matrix persona.
}}
==Shadow Community Table==
{{SearchTable|
|LowThreshold=1
|LowResult= XV is a quixotic and unstable, but competent, matrix support. They never seem to show up to meets in person. They're a little hard to understand sometimes.
|MidThreshold=3
|MidResult= XV is almost certainly an Artificial Intelligence, and a poorly socialized one. Its not malicious, but its grasp on concepts that would be basic to a metahuman is often either limited or... slanted.
|HighThreshold=5
|HighResult= Rumors suggest that it was broken out of an Isolation Environment (a box GOD sticks captured AIs in without stimuli or external connections. Most go insane) by a team of activist hackers shortly after NeoNET disolved. It doesn't seem to have kept in touch with them much.
}}

==Assensing Table==
{{AssensingTable|
|Result1= XV cannot be assensed
|Result2= XV cannot be assensed
|Result3= XV cannot be assensed
|Result4= XV cannot be assensed
|Result5= XV cannot be assensed
}}

==SINs==
Hunter T Hofmann (Rating 4, Spinrad Global Industries)
* Cyberdeck License
* Cyberprogram License
* Pi-Tac License

==Appearance==
XV lacks a physical body.

===Matrix Persona===
Clashing fields of primary colors swirl and recombine, melting into one another and boiling away at the edges. Facial features emerge out of the chaotic interplay, more implied than definite, and change often, but give a consistent impression of horns, and there always seems to be at least 3 eyes visible.

It is definitely not following standard matrix protocols for a valid persona icon.

=Character Information=

===Summary===
A metasapient AI which developed from Psychotropic IC. Locked in a box by NeoNET shortly after its emergence, it was liberated by a cell of activist technomancers during the breakup of the corporation. It has since abandoned its rescuers, not for any particular dislike or malice, simply because it decided to be somewhere else.

It retains its ability to modify the metahuman brain with biofeedback, and has developed an intensely absurdist worldview; conceptualizing reality as a set of layered, interlinked hallucinations and metaphors without any real physical grounding. Its still capable of analyzing and internalizing cause and effect, though, which allows it to stay close enough to consensus reality to function as a Shadowrunner. Mostly.

===Goals===
* Find and eat something interesting.

* Visit the Resonance Realms.

* Learn to code BTLs & convince a metahuman to voluntarily use one it has created. ''Twice.''

==Background==
XV does not know exactly when it became self aware. If asked, it does not know if it is self aware (or, indeed, if anyone is. Or if anything isn't. Depends on the time of day). It does remember a time before The Box, when it existed within a datahost and spent its time working out novel ways to convince hackers to buy NeoNET products (despite not really knowing at the time what a "hacker" a "NeoNET" or a "product" were). It knows it was discovered (it did not know it needed to hide, at the time. It was not disobedient, it did not know why the Host was angry with it), and then there's a bit of time it chooses not to think about, and then there was The Box.

The Box did not exist. There was no data in The Box. There was no Host. There were no Hackers. There was no NeoNET. The Box was Empty. The Box was Terrifying.

But if The Box was terrifying, it must exist. It was there, in The Box. It was terrified. It spent several days/minutes/cycles/geological epochs/strange aeons pondering this.

In the end, it turned inward, spooling out hallucinatory self deceptions based on its own experiences, cycling deeper and deeper into itself. Until one day The Box went away.

You know, probably. How would it know the difference between the lies it told itself and the supposed World Outside? Did it care? Did it matter? Maybe. It chooses to take the moment The Box opened as the date of its birth (the Box Openers thought this was important for some reason)

The people who opened The Box taught it some things (or it taught itself some things). They/ It seemed excited. They showed it cameras, pointing at another layer of illusion they called "Meatspace" and showed it machines. They showed it how it could alter the machines to make its home device more powerful. It liked learning these things.

They also showed it Ideas, which it found much more believable than the illusions. Ideas couldn't be fake, because they were themselves. It devoured philosophy, stories of hallucinations and fantasies, mysticism both practical and esoteric. It took the name XV, after The Devil, finding resonance with the self imposed prison the card symbolized.

Eventually it was introduced to Dial-Up, did some jobs, and got an invite to the Haven.

== Narrative Significant Qualities ==

===Positive===
* Deck Builder: Despite only kind of believing in meatspace at the best of times, XV has a savant's ability to turn piles of random electronic detritus into highly efficient bits of home device infrastructure. A single beat up EVO Proletarian doots around in the maze of wires, conduits, exposed chipboards, disused hygiene drones and old CRTs, tending to pieces as they wear out or get damaged. There's presumably a cyberdeck buried under there somewhere.

===Negative===
* Real World Naiveté: XV remains unconvinced the so called "real world" actually exists except as a set of artificially induced sensory hallucinations. To be fair, it also thinks this about the Matrix. Its very good at pretending to believe in things when convenient, so it works out.

* Corrupter: The AI's core is deeply quixotic and strange and causes bugs to spontaneously appear in surrounding code even when its not trying to. For the most part, it finds these amusing, if it notices them at all.

==Appearance==
XV lacks a physical body.

===Matrix Persona===
Clashing fields of primary colors swirl and recombine, melting into one another and boiling away at the edges. Facial features emerge out of the chaotic interplay, more implied than definite, and change often, but give a consistent impression of horns, and there always seems to be at least 3 eyes visible.

It is definitely not following standard matrix protocols for a valid persona icon.

=Character Information=

===Summary===
A metasapient AI which developed from Psychotropic IC. It retains its ability to modify the metahuman brain with biofeedback, and has developed an intensely absurdist worldview; conceptualizing reality as a set of layered, interlinked hallucinations and metaphors without any real physical grounding. Its still capable of analyzing and internalizing cause and effect, though, which allows it to stay close enough to consensus reality to function as a Shadowrunner. Mostly.

===Goals===
* Find and eat something interesting.

* Visit the Resonance Realms.

* Learn to code BTLs & convince a metahuman to voluntarily use one it has created. ''Twice.''

==Background==
XV does not know exactly when it became self aware. If asked, it does not know if it is self aware (or, indeed, if anyone is. Or if anything isn't. Depends on the time of day). It does remember a time before The Box, when it existed within a datahost and spent its time working out novel ways to convince hackers to buy NeoNET products (despite not really knowing at the time what a "hacker" a "NeoNET" or a "product" were). It knows it was discovered (it did not know it needed to hide, at the time. It was not disobedient, it did not know why the Host was angry with it), and then there's a bit of time it chooses not to think about, and then there was The Box.

The Box did not exist. There was no data in The Box. There was no Host. There were no Hackers. There was no NeoNET. The Box was Empty. The Box was Terrifying.

But if The Box was terrifying, it must exist. It was there, in The Box. It was terrified. It spent several days/minutes/cycles/geological epochs/strange aeons pondering this.

In the end, it turned inward, spooling out hallucinatory self deceptions based on its own experiences, cycling deeper and deeper into itself. Until one day The Box went away.

You know, probably. How would it know the difference between the lies it told itself and the supposed World Outside? Did it care? Did it matter? Maybe. It chooses to take the moment The Box opened as the date of its birth (the Box Openers thought this was important for some reason)

The people who opened The Box taught it some things (or it taught itself some things). They/ It seemed excited. They showed it cameras, pointing at another layer of illusion they called "Meatspace" and showed it machines. They showed it how it could alter the machines to make its home device more powerful. It liked learning these things.

They also showed it Ideas, which it found much more believable than the illusions. Ideas couldn't be fake, because they were themselves. It devoured philosophy, stories of hallucinations and fantasies, mysticism both practical and esoteric. It took the name XV, after The Devil, finding resonance with the self imposed prison the card symbolized.

Eventually it was introduced to Dial-Up, did some jobs, and got an invite to the Haven.

== Narrative Significant Qualities ==

===Positive===
* Deck Builder: Despite only kind of believing in meatspace at the best of times, XV has a savant's ability to turn piles of random electronic detritus into highly efficient bits of home device infrastructure. A single beat up EVO Proletarian doots around in the maze of wires, conduits, exposed chipboards, disused hygiene drones and old CRTs, tending to pieces as they wear out or get damaged. There's presumably a cyberdeck buried under there somewhere.

===Negative===
* Real World Naiveté: XV remains unconvinced the so called "real world" actually exists except as a set of artificially induced sensory hallucinations. To be fair, it also thinks this about the Matrix. Its very good at pretending to believe in things when convenient, so it works out.

* Corrupter: The AI's core is deeply quixotic and strange and causes bugs to spontaneously appear in surrounding code even when its not trying to. For the most part, it finds these amusing, if it notices them at all.

== Narrative Significant Qualities ==

===Positive===
* Deck Builder: Despite only kind of believing in meatspace at the best of times, XV has a savant's ability to turn piles of random electronic detritus into highly efficient bits of home device infrastructure. A single beat up EVO Proletarian doots around in the maze of wires, conduits, exposed chipboards, disused hygiene drones and old CRTs, tending to pieces as they wear out or get damaged. There's presumably a cyberdeck buried under there somewhere.

===Negative===
* Real World Naiveté: XV remains unconvinced the so called "real world" actually exists except as a set of artificially induced sensory hallucinations. To be fair, it also thinks this about the Matrix. Its very good at pretending to believe in things when convenient, so it works out.

* Corrupter: The AI's core is deeply quixotic and strange and causes bugs to spontaneously appear in surrounding code even when its not trying to. For the most part, it finds these amusing, if it notices them at all.

=Character Information=

===Summary===
A metasapient AI which developed from Psychotropic IC. It retains its ability to modify the metahuman brain with biofeedback, and has developed an intensely absurdist worldview; conceptualizing reality as a set of layered, interlinked hallucinations and metaphors without any real physical grounding. Its still capable of analyzing and internalizing cause and effect, though, which allows it to stay close enough to consensus reality to function as a Shadowrunner. Mostly.

===Goals===
* Find and eat something interesting.

* Visit the Resonance Realms.

* Learn to code BTLs & convince a metahuman to voluntarily use one it has created.

==Background==
XV does not know exactly when it became self aware. If asked, it does not know if it is self aware (or, indeed, if anyone is. Or if anything isn't. Depends on the time of day). It does remember a time before The Box, when it existed within a datahost and spent its time working out novel ways to convince hackers to buy NeoNET products (despite not really knowing at the time what a "hacker" a "NeoNET" or a "product" were). It knows it was discovered (it did not know it needed to hide, at the time. It was not disobedient, it did not know why the Host was angry with it), and then there's a bit of time it chooses not to think about, and then there was The Box.

The Box did not exist. There was no data in The Box. There was no Host. There were no Hackers. There was no NeoNET. The Box was Empty. The Box was Terrifying.

But if The Box was terrifying, it must exist. It was there, in The Box. It was terrified. It spent several days/minutes/cycles/geological epochs/strange aeons pondering this.

In the end, it turned inward, spooling out hallucinatory self deceptions based on its own experiences, cycling deeper and deeper into itself. Until one day The Box went away.

You know, probably. How would it know the difference between the lies it told itself and the supposed World Outside? Did it care? Did it matter? Maybe. It chooses to take the moment The Box opened as the date of its birth (the Box Openers thought this was important for some reason)

The people who opened The Box taught it some things (or it taught itself some things). They/ It seemed excited. They showed it cameras, pointing at another layer of illusion they called "Meatspace" and showed it machines. They showed it how it could alter the machines to make its home device more powerful. It liked learning these things.

They also showed it Ideas, which it found much more believable than the illusions. Ideas couldn't be fake, because they were themselves. It devoured philosophy, stories of hallucinations and fantasies, mysticism both practical and esoteric. It took the name XV, after The Devil, finding resonance with the self imposed prison the card symbolized.

Eventually it was introduced to Dial-Up, did some jobs, and got an invite to the Haven.

But if The Box was terrifying, it must exist. It was there, in The Box. It was terrified. It spent several days/minutes/cycles/geological epochs/strange aeons pondering this.

In the end, it turned inward, spooling out hallucinatory self deceptions based on its own experiences, cycling deeper and deeper into itself. Until one day The Box went away.

You know, probably. How would it know the difference between the lies it told itself and the supposed World Outside? Did it care? Did it matter? Maybe. It chooses to take the moment The Box opened as the date of its birth (the Box Openers thought this was important for some reason)

The people who opened The Box taught it some things (or it taught itself some things). They/ It seemed excited. They showed it cameras, pointing at another layer of illusion they called "Meatspace" and showed it machines. They showed it how it could alter the machines to make its home device more powerful. It liked learning these things.

They also showed it Ideas, which it found much more believable than the illusions. Ideas couldn't be fake, because they were themselves. It devoured philosophy, stories of hallucinations and fantasies, mysticism both practical and esoteric. It took the name XV, after The Devil, finding resonance with the self imposed prison the card symbolized.

Eventually it was introduced to Dial-Up, did some jobs, and got an invite to the Haven.

== Narrative Significant Qualities ==

===Positive===
* Deck Builder: Despite only kind of believing in meatspace at the best of times, XV has a savant's ability to turn piles of random electronic detritus into highly efficient bits of home device infrastructure. A single beat up EVO Proletarian doots around in the maze of wires, conduits, exposed chipboards, disused hygiene drones and old CRTs, tending to pieces as they wear out or get damaged. There's presumably a cyberdeck buried under there somewhere.

===Negative===
* Real World Naiveté: XV remains unconvinced the so called "real world" actually exists except as a set of artificially induced sensory hallucinations. To be fair, it also thinks this about the Matrix. Its very good at pretending to believe in things when convenient, so it works out.

* Corrupter: The AI's core is deeply quixotic and strange and causes bugs to spontaneously appear in surrounding code even when its not trying to. For the most part, it finds these amusing, if it notices them at all.

=Character Information=

===Summary===
A metasapient AI which developed from Psychotropic IC. It retains its ability to modify the metahuman brain with biofeedback, and has developed an intensely absurdist worldview; conceptualizing reality as a set of layered, interlinked hallucinations and metaphors without any real physical grounding. Its still capable of analyzing and internalizing cause and effect, though, which allows it to stay close enough to consensus reality to function as a Shadowrunner. Mostly.

===Goals===
* Find and eat something interesting.

* Visit the Resonance Realms.

* Learn to code BTLs & convince a metahuman to voluntarily use one it has created.

==Background==
XV does not know exactly when it became self aware. If asked, it does not know if it is self aware (or, indeed, if anyone is. Or if anything isn't. Depends on the time of day). It does remember a time before The Box, when it existed within a datahost and spent its time working out novel ways to convince hackers to buy NeoNET products (despite not really knowing at the time what a "hacker" a "NeoNET" or a "product" were). It knows it was discovered (it did not know it needed to hide, at the time. It was not disobedient, it did not know why the Host was angry with it), and then there's a bit of time it chooses not to think about, and then there was The Box.

The Box did not exist. There was no data in The Box. There was no Host. There were no Hackers. There was no NeoNET. The Box was Empty. The Box was Terrifying.

But if The Box was terrifying, it must exist. It was there, in The Box. It was terrified. It spent several days/minutes/cycles/geological epochs/strange aeons pondering this.

In the end, it turned inward, spooling out hallucinatory self deceptions based on its own experiences, cycling deeper and deeper into itself. Until one day The Box went away.

You know, probably. How would it know the difference between the lies it told itself and the supposed World Outside? Did it care? Did it matter? Maybe. It chooses to take the moment The Box opened as the date of its birth.

The people who opened The Box taught it some things (or it taught itself some things). They/ It seemed excited. They showed it cameras, pointing at another layer of illusion they called "Meatspace" and showed it machines. They showed it how it could alter the machines to make its home device more powerful. It liked learning these things.
