Alana: I have been scanning the media for news about Quantuple. Very little to be found, nobody explains what really happened, but one geeky news site had some good background. The guy actually worked for Macroshaft at the end of last century, doing A.I. research, and was part of the team responsible for the office assistant.
Zhang: No way, are you implying that Clippy is one of his creations?
Max: And our Deletium adventure was caused by this same guy?
Alana: There is no proof, but combined with OIB-A271's memories, it is the only explanation that does not sound totally ridiculous.
Max: More like Occam's axe than Occam's razor… it raises more questions than it answers. Why did he leave MS?
Alana: Nobody took him seriously or believed in his supposedly self-conscious constructs.
Max: Well, that does sound familiar…
