    Isn't it weird that if you kill the parent that the child becomes the zombie?

    To be fair, child becomes an orphan first, but orphans turn into zombies after death and start searching for their parents.

    Wait I like this worldbuilding.

    It is time for a grim dark reboot of ReBoot.

    Let's see what Bob chooses to do after Megabyte offs Nibbles and Little Enzo Matrix turns into a real problem for Mainframe.

    “Definitely not occult magick. Just gotta use cat to trace lines for my headless daemon and track down this zombie orphaned child. Maybe there’s something in the journal about what it bound to before the memory pool told it to sleep. … Why are you looking at me like that?”

    I like how there's a daemon on my phone thanks to Pegasus II that tells the Pentagon when I am playing with my penis. This is a significant upgrade to the Garden of Eden and I think we should continue on this path as a global community.
