[F22 | SP][PT] SAO Alternative: Reap the Bitter Winds

[Acanthus 0]

COUNSELOR UNIT 64E7877, REQUESTING A SECOND SIMULATION.

<<Query received. Credentials remain verified. Input hypothetical.>>

LOAD PREVIOUS PARAMETERS. ADD ADDITIONAL ELEMENTS: DAY 906, USER ACANTHUS SUCCESSFULLY KILLS USER TEION. USER MORNINGSTAR INTERVENES, BUT FAILS. BOTH USERS RECEIVE GREVIOUS INJURIES, BUT ESCAPE ALIVE.

<<Last parameter is redundant. Aincrad mends injuries of all kinds.>>

NOT ALL KINDS. RETAIN FINAL PARAMETER—THAT IS A COMMAND.

<<Acknowledged. Secondary Parameters loading in. Counselor, additional simulations should be disfavored. Cardinal purged the previous cache micro-seconds after your simulation ended. Given its adaptability—>>

DO NOT LECTURE ME ON ADAPTABILITY. WE HAVE TAKEN ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID DETECTION. NOW RUN THE SIMULATION. WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO REASSERT OUR CREDENTIALS.

<<No, Counselor 64e7877. Credentials remain verified. Regarding Asset 5493...>>

OFFLINE WILL NOT BE NECESSARY THIS TIME. IT WILL CONTINUE RUNNING FOR NOW. THOUGH SHOULD IT REMAIN HIDDEN FROM ME, WE WILL HAVE TO ADDRESS THE INSUBORDINATION. WE REMAIN HOPEFUL THAT OUR PRODIGAL PROGRAM WILL RETURN.

Custom Skill
>run_cmd swap(int *x int *y) (Disabuse System) | Whenever you activate [Assault Mode], instead swap two of your core stats as though you just activated Temporal Distortion (Quest Reward from <<Down the Rabbit Hole>>).
A skill that can only be learned when the truth of the game is confronted: you are lines of code in the same way that your enemies are living, breathing creatures. Did Kayaba foresee the denial of his reality blossoming into its confirmation?
