[He's not looking at him anymore. He's not eager to get into this topic, because it burns his ego enough to know someone else managed to copy his work. And managed to copy him, which was what he wanted to prevent. But getting mad won't change anything, so he's grudgingly working with it.]

Yeah. Some magic trick, huh?

I haven't been able to figure it out. It shouldn't be possible. There are features that should make it impossible, actually, but we're still here. You can talk to the others about what they've found if you want to.

You're me, so you already have your own way to check. Security features. Sequences that only you'd be able to reproduce. But if we were really the original versions then a giant turtle wouldn't be able to cut off my power supply. At least, I don't think it could.

[Magic always makes things more difficult to guarantee constants, but he hopes that he's biologically autonomous enough that he wouldn't rely on Asti normally.]
