  • I read some grimoire cards about researchers asking a war mind to help them escape the virtual reality of a Vex, who has made identical copies of them to simulate different outcomes. These researchers then freak out, because they can't be sure what is real and what isn't. (sounds like some weird quantum physics BS tbh. Needing an external observer to determine what is real and what is not. Schrödinger's cat and such) They further proceed to enter a vex mind/gate/spire/vault of glass/whatever with 999 identical copies of them on a HDD with the goal of releasing them onto the Vex Network. 4 questions for you, dear loremaster: 1) WTF? 2) What happened to them after they entered the vex network? 3) What's the point of bringing the copies with them? 4) Why did they freak out because they got simulated? Technically speaking, humans are subjective creatures. I think, therefore I am. What I can feel, taste, etc, is what I consider real. And through myself experiencing these things, and thinking, I basically confirm what's real myself. In how far does it matter that they get simulated? A Vex can't simulate everything (not talking about the Warmind reference here), so just walking out of the lab, and making some holidays on earth, should have solved their problems.
