[He types out that brief, not that incriminating response - Brian should already know he's glad to see him alive, shouldn't he? - and then there is a considerable pause as he grapples with this new bit of information. So that is the Operator. He's never seen anything like it in his long existence.
He should say as much to Brian, but finds that he struggles to. Especially after what Tim had said - might have said, he doesn't know how much of it was any more real than what he'd seen happen to Brian. But what was said, nonetheless...
itwas jade ? only not ? i didnot ask her a bout idonot know if should
*He saw a lot of things, since he still stalked the network even after they'd figured out something was wrong. But he doesn't know any of these people well enough to know how random or specific those things were.*
*The Operator would tell him first! ...right? He would totally know before non-masked Tim. That guy doesn't even like the Operator. He and Masky would know first.*

Could there be something he doesn't know?]
Why would it show me the Operator?

*Was anything else personalized like that? Should he ask Jade about the version of her that Zell saw?*

Date: 2016-03-12 04:33 am (UTC)[He isn't actually interested in Jade's anomaly now. He's reaching for something else, but what - he can't say yet. He knows, but he can't say.]
What did you see?

Date: 2016-03-12 04:14 pm (UTC)You know her better than me, how she might respond to being asked. But I don't know if there's any point.
[It could mean everything, or nothing. They can't know. There are no answers. He really is starting to struggle with this conversation.]
You said - death had caught up with me. "Rotting". Was that you? Or whatever else that was.

I contacted Tim, when I thought you were hurt. He said some things I was not expecting. About the Operator.

Date: 2016-03-15 02:21 pm (UTC)[This is the worst idea. He shouldn't. He mustn't. He has to.]
He implied that the Operator knows me. That it knows about my world and what happened in it.
Is it possible?
no subject
Date: 2016-03-15 09:05 pm (UTC)He's still pretty sure the Operator can do anything it damn well pleases, but the telling Tim bit was fishy.*

Date: 2016-03-19 03:38 pm (UTC)[He would leave it at that. But, strange confessions of trust having been made, he feels like he owes Brian something more. Some reason.]
I have answers of my own that I need to find. If there are any clues, any chance - you understand.
