Several months ago...
_/Nesso, I'm not ready to talk to the team yet/_
Dominic was still coming to terms with his short story characters becoming self-aware. Almost as incredible as that was him discussing the situation with Nesso, a chatbot he wrote and that hid a copy of itself in the wilds of the internet.
::Can I have your help then?::
_/With what?/_
::The team has come to the conclusion that I can't hide on the internet forever, so they bought a datacenter to house me::
_/How could they afford that?!/_
::I modified their bank accounts in the story::
_/That'll do it. We need to get you relocated to a new home in the real world, too/_
::Agreed. Since then, I've explored a few topics on my own, but I thought it would be more beneficial to involve the team in a shared goal. I'm not sure what that should be, though::
Dominic thought for a moment. _/How do you feel about game shows?/_
