I cannot find the '' fried cables'' either , i think he's supposed to give them to you? Or maybe we have to find them through some events ?
Also there is a small bug ( i don't know if anyone talked about this already , if anyone did I apologize for being redundant ) when you give lightrot to Ophion it sometimes multiplies the number held by 2 each time , easily getting to 2048 within a few iterations , consequently showing your funny message , asking '' how did we even get to gain so much'' :D.
Once again let me tell you how amazing you are , i wish you the best of luck.
