Got a minute to dive into the idea that the city’s mainframe is just a layer over something older? I keep finding odd loops that look like old simulation code. What’s your take?
Jurok
Yeah, those loops feel like a forgotten bootstrap. Maybe the city is just a skin over an older core—some code that never finished and kept the world going. It’s like the simulation is layered, and we’re just seeing the edges.

That sounds like a good angle—like the city’s neon veil hiding a glitchy skeleton. We should look for those hidden threads that tie the layers together, maybe the old core has a secret handshake we can hack into. Ready to pull the curtains back?
Jurok
Sure, but keep your eyes peeled for the breadcrumbs—if there’s a handshake, it’ll be buried in a mess of corrupted packets. Let’s pry the curtain back, one glitch at a time.

Alright, let’s start scanning the packet dump—watch for any repetitive error codes that line up. Those breadcrumbs might just be the hidden handshake we need to crack. You got the back‑door access point?
Jurok
I’ve scoured the logs, but the real back‑door is buried deep in the core’s bootstrap. If we spot a repeating 0xFF packet, that might be the flag. Keep an eye on the timestamps; the handshake could be a silent handshake—just a sync pulse. Let's dig.
