Late in week 3

If the Conductors are being run by a giant computer in the Waking World, that makes them a kind of computer virus like the Automata, right? And if the Conductors are like the Automata, doesn't that make Questing Country a kind of computer system too? Like the ZODIAC?

I might be shit at computers, but I do know you can give them a kind of immune system by installing antivirus in them. So is there a reason we can't make an antivirus against Conducting and install it into Questing Country?

Something to undo the damage to the Conductors' wills and stop it from being spread by accident. Then the existence of the Conductors wouldn't be damaging to Questing Country, just like the Automata don't hurt the Grid or the ZODIAC anymore.

Reprogramming the macrochip is still important too, but if we can do both then won't Questing Country stay safe even if the bastards behind this decide to build a new macrochip and try again?

It would. Sanctions are an arrow I would really not like to remind the Conductors we have in our quiver, but it is one if we need it.

If you did use it to bond with your friend, though, it would be likely that they turned Conductor as well.

At least I thought to ask about it before jumping in and trying anything.

I guess that makes sense if it really is a kind of dream-virus. Viruses are designed to spread, so it wouldn't be a very good virus if it didn't spread over a direct link like that.

Honestly, it may be ANY kind of bond. We're not sure.

But yes. It's incredibly infectious and I hate it.
