Mirror watches as B.o.B. begins analyzing the data. As the red !? displays on B.o.B.'s faceplate, and Mirror converses with Resonance while waiting for the data analysis to finish.
"Well enough, I suppose. I've been offline for a while, and was looking forward to taking it easy once I got back. Now I'm here and it turns out we've gotta save the world once again."
Mirror's tone is disheartened, but only for a moment.
"But maybe we can get it right this time. It's so frustrating that we can all come together in a time of crisis, but as soon as it's over we always end up going back to fighting. You think we would have learned by now." |

B.o.B.remained quite as the data was retrieved. "This is more than just some kind of object...truth element?....what is that?..." B.o.B: "How bizarre...this thing is made up of something called truth element...I've never seen code structured like this before...it also contains some data files...I'm going to attempt to go through a one of the unencrypted ones now..." B.o.B. said aloud, but remained motionless.

//DATA ACCESSED: MEMORY_1.DAT
PLAY DATA:
A scene unfolds. A stadium, a windy day. It was warm, the world felt... new. A navi, dressed in white, with silvery-gray hair walks in. Another navi, and a group even larger. Some familiar, Embera, Genesis, even the Armored Destroyer. As the navi approaches however, a giant, black blob-like structure falls, defeated. The world around begins to glitch, as if everything had lost structure. Things began to go odd... eventually, all that was left was a strange assortment of furniture, odds and ends.

B.o.B. felt memory data wash over it, scenes of navi's who felt familiar, yet B.o.B. had never actually met. B.o.B. hated this kind of data, it always left a bad taste in its mind, forced to keep others memories in its database as it own. B.o.B: "...tch...I'm sorry Mirror...the file became unreadable around half way through...there is a lot more data in here, but the other files are either password encrypted or corrupted...there is one file, but it has an extension I don't recognize and I am hesitant to probe further into it at the moment... " B.o.B. said meekly. B.o.B. checked its own code over quickly, checking for any breaches or anything out of the ordinary. The only thing out of the ordinary was B.o.B.'s own shard of truth that it had yet to notice. B.o.B. held out its left hand and expelled the shard from where it had nested itself in B.o.B.'s code. The shard gained physical form and then dropped into B.o.B.'s palm. B.o.B.: "It seems your hypothesis was correct, I found this nested in my code...hmm...I have an idea...if we assume that these shards are all part of a hole...I might be able to restore the corrupted and incomplete data files...if we had enough I might even be able to break the encryption on the other files...fingers crossed..." B.o.B. swapped the shard over into its right hand. The same as before it glowed a soft orange and then disappeared.://ACCESSES FILE / TRUTH / .RESTORE |

"Hmm...why has its purity gone down since adding my own?...hmm...and another new file with that strange extension..." B.o.B: "...hmm...it seems they are connected...Mirror...can you ask that large marble navi for its shard...I'm going to keep combing through this data..." B.o.B. said aloud, but again remained motionless.

Mirror watches as B.o.B. works, impressed with his skill. Mirror had some knowledge of data structures himself, being a navi that utilized emulation to the degree that he did. But B.o.B. was something else entirely, actually learning from the code, understanding it. Mirror was able to know what things did, but it seemed much more likely that B.o.B. would be able to know not just what things did, but how and even why they did those things.
Nodding as B.o.B. asks Mirror to serve as mediator, he excuses himself from Resonance and B.o.B. and makes his way to Golem.
"Say, you were with us in L'Internet du Soir, weren't you? You looked a bit different back then... You're more of a marble now... Anyway, B.o.B. and I here... he gestures to B.o.B. as he continues to analyze data. "... noticed that we both had similar red shards, and I noticed you have one, too. B.o.B.'s running data analysis and there are a number of encrypted or corrupted files, but with mine and now his analyzed, he's been able to glean a bit more information. If you're willing, we could learn even more if you want to cooperate with us."
"Name's MirrorMan by the way, but that's just designation fluff. Mirror's just fine. I think it's safe we assume everyone that was there with us in L'Internet du Soir now has one of these shards. If we want to start making some headway, I think it's in our best interest to find the others."
Mirror stands by, his plan revealed, waiting for an answer. |

Golem had been watching, quiet and patient as it's suspicions were proven true. BoB also had a shard, so it was incredibly likely that the others had one of their own. The one designated as BoB began unraveling the secrets of the shards. It had no idea who any of the people were that appeared from the first shard, making it difficult to glean any useful information from it. Then the one designated as Mirror approached it with a request and a proposition. A simple plan to find the others.
That was something Golem had been thinking of after concluding that Bob most likely had his own shard. So they WERE expected to gather the other shards. But to what end? Based on further speculation on Juno's behavior, Golem knew Juno displayed "compassion" in one hand, and obliteration in the other. Based on what knowledge Golem had, this seemed very similar to a western religious figure. But that was a moot point.
Golem finally shifted after mulling Mirror's request over, moving it's arm while turning one of it's massive hands over to reproduce the shard it had in the palm of it's hand. There was still not enough data for it to conclude that gathering the shards was a bad idea. For now, it was a curiosity, a mystery to be solved. Of course, there was always a chance that something could go wrong.

//DATA ACCESSED: MEMORY_2.DAT
PLAY DATA:
But the black blob rises again. It was all a ruse to begin with, to let the guards down, then strike. It was a massacre at first, this rise of the Shadow Devil. The navi in white tried to fight back, but was struck down. A violent wind begins to blow... everything becomes dark red, stained by bloodlust...

Mirror nods in response to Golem handing over the shard. Two could play at the game of few words. Mirror appreciated this simplicity.
Taking the shard from Golem, Mirror approaches B.o.B. once more and hands it out to him.
"Well, it didn't say anything, but it seems willing to work with us." |

B.o.B: "...thank you Mirror...will...continue..." B.o.B. said very little, only moving its hand up to accept the third shard and repeating the process...

The data unfurls, showing another memory to all willing to watch.
There was a white navi, standing just left to a few others, some more famous, others faded in time. One stood out among the others, cloaked in red, with shining white hair and a clear aura of leadership about him. He managed to rally this ragtag group, mobilize them against the Shadowy Menace, and in a few instants, it is gone and deleted.
But the feeling of sheer blood-lust does not deliquesce. The navi in white lashes out towards all who draw near, eventually finding himself attacking a man calling himself Gate.
A fine line exists between the assault and our protagonist's death, but Gate is smart...
ERROR, DATA CORRUPTED.
The end of the memory. Another file reveals itself:

________________________________________________________
Wrapped up in memories and folds that were non-relevant to the present, the NetNavis were nothing.
They were nothing to the ferocious eyes that watched them from after, they themselves only appearing long enough to counter the number that stood there amongst themselves, while she shifted with a hungry look in her eyes. After taking count, she done no more staring; there was no more surveying as the next moment there was a wind-splitting sheer of blades cutting the air in a fold and there before the group of NetNavis there stood the most oddest of poses that could have been made out to be a statue that stood amongst them.
“Meow!”
A...cat?
No! This was bigger than any plain cat. This was a humanoid feline adorned with jewels, gold, and pieces of exotic cloth. Her right foot was a large cat-like elongated paw that kept her study while the other was lifted heel in the air. Her two front paws were like hands as they were just as big, covered in décor, and lifted in the air maintaining her balance somehow as she seemed to should have been shifting. However, she was perfect as the one cat-like being simply sat there, eyes almost nearly closed from the joyous squint of her eyes and maw stretching from cheek to cheek.
“Hello! Hello! Hello!” she chanted in a whimsy voice, “Meow! Meow! Meow!”
This being was definitely a NetNavi!
She had seemed to keep that pose, waiting to be acknowledged as she seemed to have made quite the acrobatic entrance among the group of NetNavis, and even more so, done so without stating any wants, needs, or desires. She was a mystery for the moment, and even more frightful she was all the way out here in this strange place that was not native to what seemed like an Egyptian NetNavi. However, it was time for business, and with the same joyous smile, but less tension in her pose, she let her arms and leg down slightly as her whiskers bounced from a simple wiggle of her nose.
“Hello everyone! Meow! Meow!” she continued, “I found you! Now you all have to help me now to I found you! Meow! Meow! Meow!”
Her chants not losing their enthusiasm...not even a bit.
________________________________________________________ “We’re so good that its’ cut throat! Meow!”

Of course, from behind both the Egyptian-Cat Navi and the few tampering with truth element code, came a noise faintly, but the noise grew as it came closer... A bark?
A few barks followed by a howl accompanied a chill in the area, Downpour had made the scene, a few dents and scratches were present in his armor, but nothing severe...
His footsteps were at first a quick walk, then into a full-blown dog-style sprint on all fours, rushing to the group...
"I HEEAAAR PEEEOOPLEEEEE!"
He rushed, scooting to a stop right next to the Cat-Navi, panting and exhausted, he asked...
"What's up.. People..?"
His visor and faceguard retracted, revealing an eerily human face... Smiling and panting, he awaited his answer...
