• The conspiracy host now speaks in the present tense, even about what he saw years ago, and his three seeded stories are retold that way. His delivery is cheerfully unhinged rather than hushed and paranoid: every theory gets bigger and faster than the last, he congratulates himself when he cracks one, and he is funny because he means every word. Each talk break is about one theory and only one: whichever he has on his mind, or the one in the story he is telling, and he goes deeper into it rather than moving on to the next. What he will not talk about is unchanged. This changes the seed a fresh station starts with; a station that already has him keeps its own row until an operator edits it.
• A character can now keep subjects apart, so that no break brings up two of them. In the persona editor, "Never in the same break" takes one subject per line, written as the words that mean it separated by commas (for example bigfoot, sasquatch, yeti). A break that uses words from two lines is refused, the model gets one retry, and after that the character's own fallback phrasings speak. Words match the way diction markers do, plurals included, and a word that only appears inside the title of a record the break names does not count. The words are shown to the model too, so it knows the rule it is being held to. News, weather and almanac bulletins are excused. The field is stored on the persona, is in the API and every SDK, and travels in persona export files. The conspiracy host's seed uses it, with one subject per theory.
