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?

My gut says that dream logic will make this possible where it normally wouldn’t be, but I don’t know for sure.

I'm pretty sure the dream logic is part of why a virus is possible in the first place. If it works for that, it should work for an antivirus too.

...But as long as new Conductors are being made in waking by that thing, they will inevitably infect more before we're able to heal them; and some of them will be bastards who'll spread it on purpose, or worse, Sanction someone into joining the Conductors.
...A Conductor, or Leah at least, Sanctioning someone turns them into a Conductor. I really do not want to find out if this is true of the others but it wouldn't surprise me.
It's not my business telling you how she knows that, but I will say she sanctioned exactly one person, and then swore never to do it again.
no subject
...I guess that answers that. I know that sometimes people can all choose to be Sanctioned together. I was going to ask Leah if a willing Sanction would work to give me a Bond with my friend again if I became a Conductor, but we found out about the meme virus before I had the chance.
no subject
If you did use it to bond with your friend, though, it would be likely that they turned Conductor as well.
no subject
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.
no subject
But yes. It's incredibly infectious and I hate it.
