The Scholar called the Creator's blueprint for this world "the highest good." That alone made Murphy wonder whether the man was in his right mind.
Considering that old Bach's death of old age a century ago had actually been a fake, a ruse to upload his consciousness, and that he'd been a genuine "self-taught" man at the time, it was understandable that a few things had gone wrong during the upload. Perhaps he'd already gone mad by the time he'd somehow gotten lucky and uploaded his biological information to the Life Greenhouse's database.
As everyone knew, madmen were always bizarrely fixated on the strangest things.
Murphy was busy uploading a virus program to disrupt the Life Greenhouse's "Book of Creation" and had no interest in listening to the Scholar's explanation. He really was quite busy.
The Eden program was also analyzing the Scholar's mental state for everyone, because it had already begun fighting its "evil twin," Revival, within the Life Greenhouse's data systems.
Their last confrontation had taken place in Chardo Port, and ended with Revival gaining a slight advantage.
But this time, Eden had a much better chance of winning.
That was because Revival was using most of its processing power to maintain control of the Life Greenhouse's activation. The evil program had no spare capacity to resist Eden's vicious data algorithms. Besides, Eden didn't actually need to defeat Revival. It only needed to find an opening during the attack and defense to implant the virus.
As a mechanical structure crafted by the Creator, the Life Greenhouse came with an extremely powerful antivirus program, one that could even rival the firewall of the Sentinel Legion's think-tank ship mainframe. That meant the interference program Eden and Rose had painstakingly written would likely only work once or twice before being completely
