Late last night I had a sudden startling thought that I couldn't think of any direct reason they couldn't be involved...
Couldn't Masato Indou be formerly Helba? By this I mean, couldn't Ovan be Helba?
No. For one thing, the two have nothing in common, personality-wise, and share no motives. Secondly, Ovan quite simply doesn't know what Helba HAS to know, such as the nature of the Key of the Twilight.
Ovan knows every in and out of the game, like Helba would... He knows inner workings of CC Corp on some level... Like Helba did...
Even his manner of speech and cryptic nature are classic Helb-isms...
Helba didn't speak in plant metaphors, and there's more than one hacker in the world. Furthermore, Ovan has some sort of government position, and allegedly started playing the game with Aina in R:2, not having played R:1. The Creator's Room and the Epitaph of Twilight were both surprises to him, and the load of information he has is either from studying the Creator's Room, talking with his Epitaph/the AIDA, or researching a way to save his sister. He didn't go into the game with any uber-information save for hacking skills.
Zelkova: Have you seen anything else in there? Something besides AIDA
Pi: Eh...
Haseo: So far, we haven't seen anything besides the outer bugs.
ZelKova: I see...
He was probably referring to Aina or something; Cubia wasn't awake yet at that point, so there wouldn't be any Gomorrah to find.
1. Yea Ovan was a hacker at some point, working with Yata though I doubt he hacked Aina's PC..............right?
Ovan did indeed hack Aina's PC.
But those Outer-Dungeons and the Outer Bugs are one of the things that keep buggin me ( no pun intended)
Just what the hell are they?
The face of Za Warudo underneath the public access areas. Think of them as the glitchy beta areas you can find in a video game, like the Minus World in Super Mario Bros. Backdoors and hidden corridors full of incomplete data but...
As Pi explained with Haseo and Atoli, Outer dungeons are basically the end results or manifestations of AIDA's prescence in The World. They would be classified as AIDA servers if it wasn't for their small size. Outer bugs are just the vagrant anomalies that roam in them.
They are also this. Basically, the way I see it is that the AIDA cobbled together crap floating around the servers and allowed backdoors to them to exist, like when you fall into unknown areas in a game when you use a no-clip code. It's not so much that the AIDA are creating them from scratch, but that they warp the data in a way that it's accessible.
