{And now, BACK TO THE... present. Sounds a little disappointing, doesn't it?}

Felt good to get back home. Well, home is a weird term for it. Home is a laboratory, miles under the ground. I suppose there are worse places to call home, but it also feels like we hit rock bottom and kept digging until we were satisfied with the depth. Tessa was cleaning the blood out of her hair. That's what happens when you take your helmet off and fight in a lake of blood. 

Since my Absolute Solver had shown himself, I had an idea. For my own convivence, I had named him "Reap3r". Which I got from my own name. Reap3r was in timeout right now, and I was still made at him for attacking Tessa, but she didn't seem too bothered by it, so I tried not to be. I made my way to the mainframe, and called upon Reap3r.

Jack: Yo. I need you.

Reap3r: What for?

Jack: You can read my thoughts, figure it out.

Reap3r: No.

Jack: You're annoying. I'm going to give you access to the mainframe here in BETA. You'll be in charge of making sure this place is defended, and in good condition.

I placed my hand on the keyboard and felt energy course through me. The screen lit up with a white glyph, and a camera grew out of the side of the computer.

Reap3r: Okay, I'm in control. 

Jack: So, how's the place lookin?

Reap3r: Dreadful. I don't know how you lived here. Give me an hour, I'll have most of the lower levels fixed up.

Jack: And the upper ones?

The camera shuddered and shook side to side.

Reap3r: I don't even want to look at the upper levels yet. I'll get to work. Let me know if you need anything.

Jack: Thanks, you're always a massive help. 

Reap3r: Oh. Well, you're welcome.

Tessa: So, what's going on?

Jack: ☞︎🕆︎👍︎😐︎✋︎☠︎☝︎ ☟︎☜︎☹︎☹︎! God, please stop doing that.

Tessa: Nah.

Reap3r: Hello again Tessa. Jack has placed me in charge of keeping this facility operational.

Tessa: Well, aren't you talented.

We were both silent, assuming she was talking to the other.

Tessa: Oh, for the love of- both of you! I'm talking to both of you!

Reap3r/Jack: ...Ooooooh. Thanks.

Tessa: I'm already tired of this.

Reap3r: OH. MY. GOD.

Jack: What? What is it?

Reap3r: This place is disgusting you ✌︎☠︎✋︎💣︎✌︎☹︎💧︎ (animals)!

Tessa: Jack.

Jack: Yes?

Tessa: This is the Absolute Solver, the most powerful and dangerous thing to ever exist.

Jack: Um, yeah?

Tessa: It's completely unstoppable, and you, its creator, is the only thing capable of beating it consistently.

Jack: Yes?

Tessa: And this supercomputer AI, is a neat freak?

Jack: Should've known that's where you were going. Look it's not like I programmed him that way! He developed his own personality!
