「Isul Akae: It's getting worse by the minute. Hey, can't you gift ammo too?」
「Your Mom: Yeah, use the viewer-exclusive supply DLC. You can buy ammo or whatever and place the object yourself. Obviously, you can design acquisition quests too. But the item description says there are restrictions based on situational calculations.」
「Isul Akae: What kind of restrictions?」
「Your Mom: No idea. It just says it won't deploy in places where errors could occur?」
「Mitsiel: You bums have never actually tried it, huh? Use your common sense.」
「Mitsiel: If an item you didn't see appears in a place that's already been searched once, it'd be super weird, right? lol Then the situational calc breaks, and it rolls back to the previous point.」
「Isul Akae: Ah, got it. Cut the shit, thanks anyway, you bum.」
「Mitsiel: Man, petty much?」
「Old Spice: But Han Gyeowol dude rejects viewer quests or gifts without discrimination. You think he'd accept ammo? He refused even when he was buried alive and about to die. Now?」
「Isul Akae: You think I don't know that? I'm just frustrated, man. Frustrated. Besides, with things this messed up, maybe he's changed his mind?」
「Black Cat: From a cat's view, no way in hell, nya. Better ditch the false hope, nya.」
「Poop Doggy: The streamer seems psycho sometimes. Thought it was fine at first, but it's getting tasteless. Acting all high and mighty. Like, you're just a brain floating in a jar. Hilarious that a guy streaming for cash has such pride. What pride, you freak...」
「Elegant Teddy♡: Hey. Jealous? Then leave. Why badmouth our pretty Winter? -_-」
「Poop Doggy: Woof woof! Grrr! Arf!」
「New Spring: I hate that kind of intervention. I keep coming to this channel for the realism. If it suddenly gets all favors now, it'd suck.」
「Atomic Power: Gets too serious sometimes and breaks immersion, but overall it's fine.」
「Matsumin: I agree! Respect differing tastes, but please no harsh words.」
「50 Years Old Lingerie Guy: Frustrating,,,,,that's a fact,,,,if I'm about to die,,,,why save reporters who can't help,,,,he was going alone anyway,,,,just let 'em die,,,,tell the soldiers he couldn't save 'em,,,,kid never worked a day in society,,,,doesn't know how the world works,,,,tch tch,,,」
「Extreme Conservative: Uncle's right. Love watching him fight, but pretending to be good by saving non-humans is gross. Bad concept. What a sucker. Han Gyeowol seems like a Jeolla lefty.」
「Wilma: Half agree up to the middle. But why Jeolla and lefty? Fucking commie worm.」
「Extreme Conservative: You're a radian too? Fermented skate smell lol」
「Wilma: What the fuck, retard.」
「ActiveX Sucks: Ugh, nonstop fighting. Just watch the stream, ActiveX fucks.」
「Vladimir: Ayay-ay. Such harsh words. Then you'd have to kill them all.」
「BigBuffetBoy86: Oh, Ruski. Still brutal as ever today.」
「BigBuffetBoy86: Careful, buddy. Heard Korean afterlife insurance security techs got killed recently. Keep joking like that, and cops or scarier uncles might visit?」
「Vladimir: No need to worry about me.」
「BigBuffetBoy86: Haha. Too carefree? In our country, email the White House, and FBI shows up. Just write “I will kill you.” One-way ticket. Lmao.」
「Groseillier Noir: Yankee's right. Saw it on news. Turns out Korea's the world's #1 censorship state. Control AI censors all afterlife insurance data in real-time.」
「Vladimir: Doesn't matter. I'd rather they pay attention.」
「BigBuffetBoy86: Beats me. ;->」
「PizzaIsObvious: Korea a censorship state...? No way. Our country wouldn't do that.」
「Extreme Conservative: Foreigners nitpicking afterlife insurance every day? Just jealous control.」
「Nitrogen Packed: Yo, fuck. Radio chatter incoming. Another platoon picking up survivors?」
「JessicaFullTime: Didn't hear it, for real? lololol No hope lolololol」
「Isul Akae: At this rate, company's becoming battalion, battalion becoming regiment?」
「Mesu wa Buta: Ammo-less straggler regiment wwwwwwwwww Bad end confirmed wwwwwwwwww」
「Extreme Conservative: Tsk tsk, meddling gonna ruin it. Should only save those worth one person's share... If they can't hack it, ditch 'em. Why keep burdens? Everyone's gotta fend for themselves. Our old folks too.」
「VoluntaryRetireeYouth: Still, 70s have pity points. Upper gens wrecked the country so bad.」
「ThisTastesHell: Wrecked the country?」
「VoluntaryRetireeYouth: Yeah, didn't you read textbooks? Econ's mandatory even if modern history's elective? People splurged, IMF blew up. Overseas trips, luxury buys, land speculation, blew foreign reserves dry. Lowest civic morals ever, imo.」
「ThisTastesHell: Kinda remember learning that lol But what's civic morals and IMF」
「Duchi: Civic morals is citizen level, bitch. IMF is bailout, bitch. Country bankrupt, bitch. You don't even know that, bitch.」
「ThisTastesHell: Look at this retard strutting with one fact lololol」
「VoluntaryRetireeYouth: Now 70s have it rough, they say. But freeloading off kids without trying is unforgivable. Normal circumstances considered, though.」
「OlympicGoldMedalBimlim: lololol Anyway, conclusion: 90+ are the real fuckups, trash 'em all except stars.」
「50 Years Old Lingerie Guy: Ptooey,,,shut up,,,insolent brats,,,world ain't that simple to generalize,,,no generation's all the same,,,even you lot,,,so varied,,,retards,,,」
「Nitrogen Packed: Boomer bullshit gtfo」
「Nitrogen Packed: Shield elsewhere, no shame shielding boomers.」
「LooksGood: You guys shut up;;; Don't wanna deal with that;;; Tired;;; Politicsick retards parroting same shit;;; Not sick of it?;;;」
「CoolClownAwesome: Right. No election, why waste emotions? Think yelling changes shit? Lives must be cushy.」
「Storm224: You watching the stream?」
「BigBuffetBoy86: Giddy up! Giddy up! Fu-! Horseback fun too!」
「AngryNeeson55: Heading out for support as expected. Hope for more variants this time. Modern horseback melee's a fresh thrill.」
「Matsumin: Everyone, stop fighting and sync with variants! Feels like charging at Winter myself—love it! Especially when Winter coldly looks down at me, something boils inside, stomach heats up... haah haah haah haah haa haa haa haa haa #aaaaaaa#####
#ErrorCode_0xc00000fe9_High_pitched_emotional_excess#Region_Japan#(Control AI) Emotional excess caused Teletype error...」
「ProNEET: This one's really not right.; Breaks every time? So emotional.」
「LifeSentence: Blame advanced nation kid. Emotions and senses peak easy.」
「Lemonade: Crazy bitch dropping lines lololol Can you function in daily life?」
「LifeSentence: As always, Sync Joseon is West Japan's future-nida. Watch. We'll be like Matsumin soon.」
「100MillionDebt: Doubt it. Can we match that iron spirit?」
「BlanketParkNearDangerHye: Sync Joseon and West Japan... Old drip.」
「FrankSausage: Humor code never changes. Sick of it.」
「NoDripWithNick: Can't help it. Whole country's regurgitating past. Stream chat majority old folks from bygone era.」
「NoDripWithNick: Our gen might kill cultural shifts big picture. Stuck reconstructing past forever. In era with richest VR world data, no less.」
「RYYJ: This guy's scholar concept consistent.」
「BanHackHome: Terminal serious disease, go die?」
「Re Kwon: That's why stop, dude...」
「StrongDog: This stream's never peaceful 'cause streamer no sex. World's sex and peace. Truth.」
「TeamLeaderKimMiyeong: Come to think, no sexless bird lately.」
「TeamLeaderKimMiyeong: The one threatening to rape Namsan Tower.」
「JessicaFullTime: Ah, SALHAE?」
「JessicaFullTime: Tried visiting Han Gyeowol at columbarium before, permit kept delaying, was depressed. Probably grinding to raise credit score?」
#National Defense Policy Committee, 2053
「Committee Member A: Thank you all for responding to this sudden summons amid your busy schedules.」
「Committee Member E: Sigh. Emergency meetings piling up lately. Inevitable sacrifice leading the nation... but public doesn't appreciate it...」
「Committee Member E: So, what's today? Security techs dead again?」
「Committee Member A: Nah, would've been security committee. US gov unofficial contact. How about collaborating on human augmentation research?」
「Committee Member B: Huh? Human aug? Out of nowhere?」
「Committee Member A: Hear me out, you'll get it. DARPA's enhanced combat soldier project lagging vs budget. Want to cut costs using our afterlife insurance cloning facilities. We got economies of scale, right? S-rank subscribers get clones standard, A-ranks use plenty. Money's immortality era.」
「Committee Member C: Hmm. Not surprised. We're at hundreds of thousands cumulative clones; they're stuck in outdated bioethics... Even US can't catch up. Real experience matters here.」
「Committee Member D: Power of deregulation, eh? Less industry regs the better, but whiners always drag feet. We pander to them elections—sad fate.」
「Committee Member F: What's DARPA?」
「Committee Member A: Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency... something like that. US DoD affiliate; google it. Not secret, public info has wild stuff. Researches every tech humans dream up. Project probably public too.」
「Committee Member F: Hmm. Pops right up. Human body functional enhancement...」
「Committee Member E: Feels like they want something else.」
「Committee Member D: Control AI compute power, duh. Top AI closest to tech singularity. Huge for research.」
「Committee Member E: Still no human-level creativity.」
「Committee Member C: Creativity? Impossible sans full independent AI. Fine as research aid.」
「Committee Member A: US knows that. Real goal might be tech bridge to afterlife insurance somehow.」
「Committee Member F: Then I vote no. You called Trinity Engine lost tech before, but I don't think it'll last.」
「Committee Member A: Reject already? Hasty. Doubt it's that worrying. One cautious voice fine... I'd take the offer.」
「Committee Member E: Hmm. Smells like money. Not deciding now, right?」
「Committee Member A: Course not. State affairs ain't kid stuff. Just basic consultation since you're nation's wisest.」

#Platform
No plans for expansion to other platforms at present.
Will check on Bookcube though.
#Holiday
Naver off whole holiday—wondering how to handle serialization. Used to not care much, post on Joara first for weekends... Hmm...
Late, skipping Q&A. Will batch replies next chapter for comments needing response. :)
