its possible that any information on AIDA is in the terminal disc.

AuraTwilight · Post by **AuraTwilight** » Fri Oct 13, 2006 8:45 pm

Well, seeing that we already know what the Terminal Disc says, you're wrong. It doesn't even mention them, except for the one hidden in Ovan's arm and...possibly, the Anti-Existence.

i think, if i had to assume
the AIDA problem started with the launch of R:2
it jus went unnoticed until now
lyk how the Cubia/Morganna existed at the launch of The World
it jus went unnoticed
except for the folders
until Kite and the whole craziness events

Neither Cubia nor Morganna existed at the launch of the World.

As far as he knows. He's still (supposedly) struggling to understand them by Vol. 2, so I don't think his early impression is 100% reliable...

Understanding them and knowing they're there are two entirely different things.

What? Morganna did, she is The World...

Different, but intimately related. You don't know you're sick until you develop symptoms. That doesn't mean you aren't infected before then, but you can't tell until the symptoms appear. It would be easy for someone with no modern medical knowledge to think that the symptom itself was the disease, but that would be incorrect. I actually think this is more what Yata is thinking, since he believes the AIDA must be studied further before anything can be done...

Actually, no, if I remember correctly those are just Aura's segments (or player's spirits, or something like that), but inverted... They're different from the black spots in G.U., I'm pretty sure that their "earliest appearance" is in the prototype trailer, though that really doesn't mean that they couldn't have been around before. You never see TSN for crying out loud, and Yata seems to not know too much about that either...

Well I meant as the sentient rogue entity.

From what I read about the terminal disc report "Gathering of the Unwilling" Jun was afraid of the anti-existence that the braclet created with Cubia. He then wondered if the Epitath-PCs would do the same.

So in other words the AIDA may have come from the fallen Epitath weilders (becauase of their inability to handle the epitath).

actually...

The AIDA, if anything, would've come from the existence of the Phases in PC form. Not nessessarily the original Epitaph Weilders.

maybe i´m wrong but what i understand is The AIDA were present in 2010, at the time of Kite & co, but we didn´t see those

ULFRIC · Post by **ULFRIC** » Mon Oct 16, 2006 6:00 pm

oh the inverted aura segments. well i guess it offers an explanation

Bryce_P · Post by **Bryce_P** » Mon Oct 16, 2006 6:11 pm

as far as I know, those weren't aura fragments, but instead the "souls" of the players released as the rebirth was defeated, causing them all to wake up from the comas.

Post by **Kuukai** » Mon Oct 16, 2006 8:32 pm

As I said, it's one or the other. Not because of ambiguity, just because I don't remember ^^;;;

AuraTwilight · Post by **AuraTwilight** » Mon Oct 16, 2006 9:38 pm

I remember. They were the souls of the comatose players. Aura's fragments were red, and the souls were blue.

AIDAs have not shown themselves in the slightest until .hack Conglomerate began.

ULFRIC · Post by **ULFRIC** » Tue Oct 17, 2006 3:45 pm

well if the segments were red
and the souls were blue
then what were the black orbs?!?!?!

AuraTwilight · Post by **AuraTwilight** » Tue Oct 17, 2006 3:55 pm

Inverted blue orbs. You know, when everything was glitchy and the colors inverted?

If the Terminal Disc can be trusted, then I think the closest thing we had to "AIDA" back then was Cubia.

You know, maybe we're making too big of a deal over Azure Kite's appearance - people have been racking their brains trying to figure out how CC-Corp could have broken into Kite's data and replicated it, when maybe AK's avatar is just a coincidence. Maybe one of the programmers on the TSN team just thought it would be cool to give their bots a Kite-type skin, as a nod towards this guy being a new defender for The World.

Heck, maybe they were all just Descendent of Fianna fanboys?

Basically, I think a lot of the early "inversion-theme" theories (the Phases are now good, while Kite is the force of evil) are starting to fall apart. Azure Kite seems to be completely independent of the user and account he's modeled after. He and his cronies have no personalities, and their role in the story so far has been revolving around one giant trick by the writers (Jinkies - it was old man Ovan all along, Scooby!). Heck, AK, or TSN - whatever he is, doesn't even get mention in the Terminal Disc, which is where the real mysteries get vague explanations.

Azure Kite's form seems less story-related and more about catching the early attention of fans by providing connection to generation one.

AIDA are the anti-existence of the Epitaph Users. Cubia was the anti-existence of Kite. They have the same roles. You do notice this thread was 2 months old, right?
