[The drone by Mizuki's hand wiggles as the affectionate pings are bounced back—the contained emotion is difficult to parse, coming from Dynamo rather than Add, but there is a distinct excitement and eagerness to how quickly the gesture is returned. Hello!!!! A friend!!! Dynamo is unused to having more "friends" within the mindlink, but it's not an unwanted situation.
Hopefully that feeling of want and camaraderie balances out how Add's eye narrows, soaking in the verbal information. Analyzing, comparing to past discussions... really, he feels kind of stupid for not guessing something like this sooner. Mizuki had an interest in hiveminds for a reason. He called himself "we" once before, as well...
A factor Add hadn't considered. He jumped into things too quickly. The doctor sighs, pressing a hand to his temples.]
You didn't think to mention this sooner? [he is not relaying any emotions right now, thanks, but the frustration is still evident. the dynamo next to him beeps, a private reminder, and he sighs out some of the tension] No, I should've asked. It's hardly a unique situation, so there's no excuse for not checking. I wasn't thorough enough...
[Introducing something like the Overmind chip, to an existing hivemind with its own communication methods and hierarchy... it's difficult enough to integrate with one mind, but a collective? He could've caused some real, serious damage. The responsible thing to do would be to put a hold on everything, put off future testing until he can be certain of the safety of all parties...
but. he does feel guilty, but there's still that but.
he... actually did this, didn't he? despite missing critical information, he actually... his Overmind chip worked, and it functions with minimal interference, despite having more than one consciousness in a single connected party?
The responsible thing would be to put everything on hold... but, ah, that would make Mizuki upset, wouldn't it? So really, the better choice is—]
Is there any discomfort? I can make adjustments to the communications frequency, but I'm not sure if I can prevent it from picking up other consciousnesses. Is it an issue for you?
