Daiyousei Quest - Greater Fairy: Part 26

[Monarda]

//Strange, last time it only affected an specific Dai-chan...

[Kilgamayan]

Secunde, Diana, Alt 2:

> Are we aware of anything that happened at the Hakurei Shrine just now?

[Monarda]

>So basically, all the Daiyouseis connected to the hivemind were affected, correct ?

[Neovereign]

Secunde, Diana, Alt 2:

> Are we aware of anything that happened at the Hakurei Shrine just now?

> You aren't.

>So basically, all the Daiyouseis connected to the hivemind were affected, correct ?

> Nearly correct.
>_

[Monarda]

>Nearly ? What is the exception to that ?

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>How are Secunde, Diana and Alt 2 not aware? They're connected to the hivemind are they not?

[Kilgamayan]

//They haven't been since yesterday morning. My command was mostly wishful thinking.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

//They haven't been since yesterday morning. My command was mostly wishful thinking.

//Wha- who disconnected them!? There was absolutely no reason to do so!

[Kilgamayan]

//It came naturally with the second ascension. No one did it manually.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

//I find that doubtful, since we DID have a connection with them throughout yesterday...

//Also my apologies, I initially read what you said as "Yesterday evening " rather than morning.

[Neovereign]

>Nearly ? What is the exception to that ?

>How are Secunde, Diana and Alt 2 not aware? They're connected to the hivemind are they not?

> You do a brief connection check...
> Everyone had been connected as of the Youmu fusion. Hami & MiniHami disconnected after that.
> Secunde and the two are unaware on account of not even being aware of their own situations, doing nothing for so long/being asleep.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

//It was my understanding that, while we still had control over them, they were not directly connected. Here's a failed attempt to force-wake Secunde, here's Secunde having no clue what's going on and only really being connected to Diana. This is all aside from them still being asleep, though, of course.

//EDIT: Here's confirmation that Secunde isn't connected to anyone other than Diana.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

//those actions were all taken BEFORE we restored all the other clones. Literally the only dais around at the time were prime, Diana and Secunde!

//anyway lunch break is over. So I'll be gone for another two hours.

[Kilgamayan]

//Why would Secunde be connected to other clones but not Prime?

[Kilgamayan]

//I guess there's one potential way to resolve this.

> Have Secunde, Diana, or any of their clones been connected to the main Daiyousei hive mind at any point since yesterday morning?

[Neovereign]

//I guess there's one potential way to resolve this.

> Have Secunde, Diana, or any of their clones been connected to the main Daiyousei hive mind at any point since yesterday morning?

> You believe Secunde and Diana are still disconnected, as they couldn't think of what the new ascended Dais were doing.

[Monarda]

//So uh... may i try out my plan now ?

[Kilgamayan]

//Go for it.

[Monarda]

Prime (Hakurei):

>"Well, looks like you passed the test, congrats !"
>Smile.

[Neovereign]

Prime (Hakurei):

>"Well, looks like you passed the test, congrats !"
>Smile.

> "...Test?" Clownpiece questions.

[Monarda]

Prime (Hakurei):

>"Of course ! You didn't really think i was gonna seriously say that stuff about someone i haven't even met personally yet would i ? Especially another goddess that could help me understand better my abilities."
>Smile and manifest another body near Clowny.

Prime (Hakurei 2):

>"Because you see, i can also see, hear and be anywhere in Gensokyo too now, like, i could check out what our fairy friends are doing right now in an instant, just like your Miss Hecatia."

All Dai-chans:

>Keep an eye for any odd things we see or feel.

> You keep an eye out for oddities, while keeping eyes away from that torch...

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

//But Secunde and Diana were never disconnected.

//It was stated that Secunde could sense other Dais, mainly Diana, which implies that she could sense Prime, the only other Dai at the time,  otherwise it would've said "only Diana." She wouldn't be able to do so if she were disconnected. And Diana would have to be connected by extension.

//plus I'm pretty sure she has said things she could only know about if she was NOT disconnected. Diana might have as well...

[Monarda]

Prime (Hakurei):

>"Huh ? Something wrong ?"
>Look confused.

Prime (Hakurei 2):

>"You seem a bit confused..."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

//edited in clarification and typo correction

[Neovereign]

Prime (Hakurei):

>"Huh ? Something wrong ?"
>Look confused.

Prime (Hakurei 2):

>"You seem a bit confused..."

> "Y-You sounded serious though."
>_

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

//So, please explain how they can be disconnected right now. I'll accept sleep for not being aware of the torch effects, but the inconsistency regarding their connection is irking me greatly...


//Breaktime's over. Should officially be back within three  hours.

[Monarda]

Prime (Hakurei):

>"Did I ?"
>Tilt our head.
>"It didn't feet too serious for me though, especially since you are my friend."

Prime (Hakurei 2):

>Pat her back.
>"And i wouldn't do anything to make you stop being my friend intentionally, it was just an test to see how devoted you were to this Hecatia lady."

[Kilgamayan]

//My guess is the disconnect happened because Secunde and Diana are only part-Prime instead of full Prime, and so when Prime ascended, they didn't follow suit (either time). That seems like a reasonable game mechanic explanation to me, and is consistent with Secunde still being active when the rest of the Prime collective got brain-fragged by Flan.

[Neovereign]

//But Secunde and Diana were never disconnected.

//Bingo. Secunde and Diana did not ascend.
But what does disconnected even mean? Disconnected from the hive... IIRC, it meant to stop sending information between the two.
Also,

//It was stated that Secunde could sense other Dais, mainly Diana, which implies that she could sense Prime, the only other Dai at the time,  otherwise it would've said "only Diana." She wouldn't be able to do so if she were disconnected. And Diana would have to be connected by extension.

As answered twice, one for clones and one for connected at all...
_{^{//This sounds like stuff that should be said at the end, in questions to the parser... but eh.}}
