Sure, Sorry. I just woke up so I didn't mean to make that so garbled.
Hadassah can see the statement provided by esthfora and she believes the statement. She is even suspicious of the statement, but she 1) wants to believe that the forum is safe and that most posters are speaking in good faith, which includes esthfora, 2) is prone to accepting things that will help her do her job of protecting people when they appear to have no drawback and 3) realizes that this layered level of benign manipulation is happening and is self-aware enough that she herself cannot be trusted as the final arbiter for what is safe when she is grappling with a Truth-laced statement. She knows that there could be layers that are less benign.
Her superiors agree and since she is relatively disposable it would be safer to let her see how dangerous the forum can be unfiltered rather than a recognized sentient being. She actually is being put under greater scrutiny now that she had been affected by a memetic effect from this forum, hazardous or not.
Esthfora can still protect everyone on Pantheon, but Pantheon will make strides to protect itself against her absolute, but resistible, truth aura. Absolute super-god like figures, or even gods that present themselves as infallible are not trusted, even if they allow their "Word" permit skepticism..

Esthfora will be so confused if she notices. XD From her perspective, trying to lock her out of your world is like trying to lock your own mind out of itself. It isn't quite that simple, because she's made of part of the idea of minds and not literally parts of every mind that exists, but it's a fine distinction.

Hahaha, I suppose that is the fun of interacting with foreign universes. I am sure she is already surprised by all the varied reactions as it is.

She definitely isn't used to alarming people. XD

Esthfora would block the Mania-based virus from Viridescence, right? Edit: never mind, she got it.

Yes. Assume that the file spent a short time being up but rainbowed out for everyone it would have harmed (Hadassah excepted because she opted out of that protection), and then Esthfora edited it out entirely.

And Hadassah is safe from mental manipulation in general by the domains of gods, and her mind is sufficiently non-human for Mania to not take hold.
