Confused about So Mi and Black wall chronology...

[Paathurnaax]

I'm mid Phantom LIberty.

Just learned that Reed and me/V think So Mi is playing both sides because she needed a cure for Blackwall death sentence from BEFORE space Force One fell from the sky.

I'm confused. I thought SOngbird used blackwall to get to relic to get to V DURING the attack?

Within canon/story, WHEN did Songbird start to use Blackwall? What does it have to do with the story between her and Prez Myerz?

And, why did Songbird use Blackwall? If it was to make contact with V through relic, HowdaFuq would she know to look for V? (Maybe they can handwave and say FIA intelligence was tracking her. That would be fine. But mention it).

Songbird was regularly using the blackwall while working for Myers. Something higher ups in NUSA all knew because they made her use it.

@mjr.death Was that in dialogue? Or shards? I guess I missed it.

Use to do what? usual spycraft stuff? Whiff of Stranger THings and 11 made to use her powers for espionage?

[Hedronis]

Songbird knew about V because they both had contact with the Blackwall. Songbird has been using the Blackwall's capabilities since she began working for President Myers.

The Blackwall itself is a very powerful firewall but also a very powerful artificial intelligence. However, the way Songbird used the AI (e.g. as a secure portal to the old Deepweb or to control machines like the Chimera) had side effects. For example, the Blackwall apparently doesn't "want" to be used in this way and is slowly erasing Songbird's memory to take away her ability to use the Blackwall.

The issue you're facing is that you are learning the facts you've been told towards the end of the expansion. Just keep playing the storyline, it will all come to you in due time.

Almost at end and you were right.

In fact, in like two long dialogue parts, I now feel like it was sorta over-explained.
