Crystal Nope

From Radiant Heart MUSH

A Horde Control Chip

Bow, when he came to Earth, brought what he thought was a re-formatted Light Hope with him in a crystal and connected to a supposedly defunct control chip. Both of these prove to be false and eventually Crystal Hope, as she was known, had to be removed.

But now that she's been removed from Bow - what will happen to the crystal and chip next?


Title Date Scene Summary
The Wrong Way to File a Complaint With HR April 17th, 2024 Bow seeks out Fuyuko to bring her to justice for killing the mascot Aurora, and finds that while she did indeed kill him, things are far more complicated than thought and in more shades of black and white and it ... is probably just better to eat ramen and not sweat it.
Ethics, Complications, and Backseat Drivers April 17th, 2024 After 'the wrong way to file a complaint with HR' Mamoru takes Bow to get ramen in henshin and discuss ethics, complications, and Crystal Hope.
Snatch and Gab April 18th, 2024 Glimmer and Catra lure Sayaka into a trap to interogate her about... BOW! Unfortunately for Glimmer, she finds out that an old friend is attached to her BEST friend. This calls for drastic action! Like trusting Riventon with this information!
You May Be Wrong (But You May Be Right) May 13th, 2024 Bow, without Crystal Hope with him (he thinks) visits with Mamoru about his fears and concerns of removing the AI and control chip from him. Mamoru gives him a lot of emotional assistance, words of wisdom, lots of chocolate and helps Bow reach the conclusion that it's time for the chip to get dipped.
Paranoid Android May 15th, 2024 Bow finally has Crystal Hope removed - but at a tremendous cost.
He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood May 16th, 2024 In the aftermath of 1543/Paranoid Android, Bow is visited in his hospital room. Sayaka may have never left his side, but Rashmi shows up with every teen's worst fear (make up work) and Mamoru shows up with (almost) every teen's favorite gift (non-alcoholic) beer. And Ami shows up to get hugs. There are checks over Bow to heal him and make sure he's no longer operating on Hope OS and time for recovery is sped up!
Reunited and it feels Terrible! May 20th, 2024 After the removal of Crystal Hope, Bow finds out about the other plan to remove the chip through an ambush that Sayaka set up (on accident). Bow learns that Glimmer is on Earth. Ice cream was lost, tears were shed, and Bow (and Riventon) leaves empty handed.
Peace of Mind May 26th, 2024 Bow comes to Madoka to ask about magic, and Madoka uses her Labyrinth to provide an extra layer of security against potential remote control from Crystal Hope. He manages to transform all on his own, but now he's left with questions about what to do next.
Crystal Cooperation November 16th, 2024 Takashi introduces Glimmer to Light Hope's 'little sister' - Night Hope.
