Well, this is really out of my depth. The only thing I can offer is that the name Parian, which comes up here as the name of a 'renegade AI made by the company Negatron', might be a reference to a Worm character (at least, it seems more likely than any of the options on Wikipedia's disambiguation page for Parian). Possibly-relevant things associated with Parian:

remote manipulation of puppets/dolls | masks; concealment of true appearance/identity | neither hero nor villain | hiding a secret power | manipulating flayed human skin (!)

 

(Also, the link pointing to the Negatron JSON log seems to be missing/broken).

I'm definitely interested, but your invite's expired, did it do that automatically or have you been overwhelmed with responses?
