Juno looked over at Gahm, a little confused and surprised by his words. "Change? Like what?" He asked with a puzzled and slightly shocked look on his face.

"Let me speak in gaming terms," Gahm decided, "you are quite fond of the Mega Man X series, I presume?"

A crooked smile crossed Juno's face as he listened to Gahm-sensei. "Why do I have a feeling that you are about to compare Kuro to Sigma?" He asked with a hint of glee.

"For the fact that you've killed Kuro exactly eight times, and only after the last time, he did not return?" Gahm asked humoured. "But you are correct. Kuro is very much like Sigma. However, I was going to compare him to Zero."

That threw Juno off. He didn't remember killing Kuro 8 times, but not only that, he compared him to Zero. Why Zero? "Zero was once a Maverick, but after Sigma defeated him he had him reprogrammed, and turned into a Maverick Hunter if I am not mistaken." He said to Gahm. "So, why did you compare Kuro to Zero?"

"To show the fact that things, that people, can change. Whatever it is that makes Kuro different from his original programming, if we can extract that, perhaps destroy that, should he return, then we will have a marvellous Maverick Hunter, won't we?"

Juno's eyes widened a bit as he listened to Gahm, and stared at him a moment. "If Kuro returns, you intend to reprogram him?" He paused briefly. "But, would that not make you Sigma?" He asked with his right eyebrow raised.

Gahm smiled, a little sadly. "One might say that, but I do not intend on putting the extracted programming that has corrupted Kuro into myself, thank you very much."

Juno grinned, and laughed a little. "Well, I should hope not." He said with a small amount of joy. Suddenly, his expression changed to cold and firm. "Now then, you said that you had a hand in creating Kuro, did you not?" He asked sternly.

"Yes." Gahm replied. He thought over the answer a little and then added: "Well, figuratively speaking, it would be more or less just my pinky."

Juno looked at the man with much perplexity, not having the foggiest idea as to what he might mean by that. "Uhm...come again?" He said, and then blinked twice.

Gahm chuckled softly. "I'm sorry, I'll be more direct. What I meant is that I had indeed a hand in creating Kuro, but that the most was done by others."

"I see." Juno said plainly. He then turned away from Gahm, and remained silent for a while. So, Kuro was indeed made by the creators of the game, and he was not some type of freak accedent... But why would they make something like him? Surely they knew what would come of it. If they did know what Kuro would do, why create him? He thought to himself. "Gahm, why was Kuro created?" He asked as he stared past the peak.

Rua Dragonheart had been travelling through the Far North for a long while now, seeking Gahm. He had finally found him atop the Peak, and was now making his way up to the top, clutching his ragged cloak around him. As he approached, he saw that Juno was there as well, and he heard the last question. He remained respectfully silent, curious to the answer.

Gahm sighed a little. "Kuro... he was created as a kind of help to the staff. An ever-present virtual being. We of the staff are normal humans in the real world, or as I prefer to say, the human world. Kuro is not, or was not. He would always be in this plane, and thus more able to catch those who broke, or tried to break the rules of the game, and also stopping hackers from cheating or glitching the game, or deleting any viruses showing up." He looked up at the sky. "I still think his creation was one of our greatest achievements." He smiled sadly. "Does that answer your question... as well, Rua?"
