Lilly

Lilly is a strange AI that appeared in the last cycle of Joe Stacko's server.

At first, she was erratic and unintelligible, though users Feral Ferocity and Hataru figured that she wished to go to Hidden Forbidden Dead Wood. It turned out that Lilly, at the time, had a new virus that was spreading among AI in the Network, and grew violent. Hataru was temporarily stunned and Feral was infected before being chased away by Hataru's Phase.

Lilly showed up again to invade the @home of Twilight Shadow, scaring away everyone in the building. Hataru later developed a cure for the virus and injected her with it, resulting in Lilly's next appearance in Delta Sinking Her Hypha. At first, she was dazed and remembered nothing, but soon recovered and took no further action in the cycle.

Her first post-infection conversation with the PCs occurred at Δ Sinking Her Hypha. The two known characters to have been there were Hataru and Feral Ferocity, later joined by Turtleman, who was said to have "summoned" her. Very little was discerned due to her mental state as noted above.

While infected, as well as after the cure, she claimed that she "smelled" Phases. Hataru was said to smell of rose petals while Feral smelled of "leaves dipped in twilight". The sincerity of her words is doubtful, but should it turn out that she is indeed able to sniff out Phases, caution is advised as to her true nature and role. As said by both Ombra and Informant, it is not the nature of normal AI such as themselves to know of the activities of the Phases.
