Explain that!

Tell the truth

"Well, i...uh, th-the thing is...."

[Your unstable voice indicates your answer will be a lie. I recommend you do not follow this course of action.]

"sigh alright. The truth is, i know about your past because they were games. Video games. Data on a disc. This must sound ridiculous, but its true"

[....I know.]

"What!?"

[The data of my existence is stored in my databanks, both in this data universe and the atom-based universe that you seem to be from.]

"Amazing. Who put it there?"

[My best guess is Hideo Kojima, the director of this and the previous missions.]

"How much do you know about yourself?"

[Among the most relevant aspects of myself are: I know my polygon count, frame count for all available actions, the names of those who designed Jehuty and that the voice you are hearing is that of a woman named Cynthia Marcucci. I am essentially self-aware in two separate ways.]

"Mind blowing. Why would they make you that way?"

[Most likely, it was a decision made in order to surprise runners. My records indicate that Hideo Kojima's games are well-known for this.]

"Can you foresee what'll happen?"

[To a point, yes. However, since the outcome of events is decided by whether or not the runner can overcome them, I cannot know what will happen as a result of them.]

"If you know your voice was done by a person, does that mean you can only say certain things?"

[Cynthia Marcucci recorded the scripted scenario, as well as 16,498 responses to questions and comments that were determined to be likely for the runner to say, herself. If the runner asks or says something for which there is no recording, I can emulate the voice and respond myself. Basically, there is nothing I cannot say.]

Like, wow.
