[Chloe’s mental voice sounds weak and disoriented, as if she’s in shock]

Can someone come to the caves? I need help.

I think Hana’s dead.

...if your overlay is dead why haven’t you resurrected, like Jules did?

WHAT A WAY TO FIRST SHOW UP ONCE YOU'VE BEEN DEINFILTRATED

You might be surprised. Elua's balls, Chloe--no one outside of Cabal should know how to make a cavosophia!

Of course it wouldn't work. There is no longer any Overmind or rightthink to make them function.

[There's a pensive silence.]

... I do not know if anyone did wake you, Chloe. Not as Naoki just did for me. It may be that once Hana's mind was scraped out, the mechanisms by which we Infiltrate realized that there was no one consciously piloting the body, and so you woke naturally.

[personal profile] youandyoualone 2019-12-16 06:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah yes. The overmind would have been that fungus.

[personal profile] youandyoualone 2019-12-16 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. I am so very sorry, my dear.

Death used to be the most common way Infiltrators were restored.

[personal profile] youandyoualone 2019-12-16 06:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Cavosophic hollowing is a kind of death, yes, as Anaf is describing it to me. Just-- only the self dies. The body it inhabits persists on.
capital_asset: (This seems dubious.)

[personal profile] capital_asset 2019-12-16 06:16 pm (UTC)(link)
...And then the Overmind directed the body, or bodies?
youandyoualone: (tired)

[personal profile] youandyoualone 2019-12-16 07:03 pm (UTC)(link)
In a way, yes. That is to say that they acted accordingly to the Overmind's rightthink--to unconscious programmed responses based on societal expectations, which in essence is what rightthink was. Societal expectations psychically enforced.
capital_asset: (Solemn)

[personal profile] capital_asset 2019-12-16 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
How widespread was the practice?
youandyoualone: (tired)

[personal profile] youandyoualone 2019-12-16 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Rightthink or cavosophia? The former was... quite common. The latter, less so. I believe that many or even most were made from criminals.

Indeed, Anaf tells me there was some debate in Cabal when he was much younger if the practice ought to be revived for those who would betray their fellows by attempting to edit them during dreampushing.



It was not, thank the gods.

Useful to know. Countermeasures?

[Because at this point, Gil's overlay has been filed in her head as 'raid boss' and 'Ravager' rather than 'person.']
