Any reason for that? Or are you two just too busy?

That's good, I guess. Apparently she's got a problem with fucking eldritch monsters running around at night. I thought the barrier existed to help regulate oxygen for us, but is it to keep shit like that thing out, too?

[arora]

I have many siblings. We all have numerous responsibilities.

The barrier is to keep all of you safely inside and regulate the environment. It also prevents outside contaminants from entering.

[levelshift]

More than maintaining places like Etraya and Moorcroft?

A contaminant? Is that what you call it? That thing didn't even have vectors, it was horseshit.

[arora]

I am not familiar with the "eldritch monsters" you are referring to. You asked about the barrier, and I answered your question regarding its purpose.

I will seek further information.

[levelshift]

Okay. Whatever it was, it didn't follow typical physical laws.

[And he isn't experienced enough with magic to have been able to evaluate it thoroughly from that angle with the short time he had.]

Anyways, there was something else I was wondering. You've told us people are brought back when they've died in Etraya, and that happens in Moorcroft, too. But is the process you're both using for resurrection the same?

[arora]

Yes.

[levelshift]

[Great.]

So you can answer why the hell I'm missing a couple memories after coming back?

[arora]

Revival comes at a price.

[levelshift]

Why? Can I get those memories back somehow?

[arora]

Bringing you here was a cost Echo willingly paid to have you prove yourself. Echo cannot absorb the cost of every death in addition to the cost of bringing newcomers in.

Death is meant to be the end. Revival goes against the natural order of the world. Breaking the law of the world does not come without a price.

[levelshift]

Wait, there's a cost to bringing us here? What the hell is Echo losing?

[arora]

I cannot answer that question.

[levelshift]

[Hmmm.]

Can you at least explain why you can't? Is it another programming limitation?

[arora]

Yes.

[levelshift]

Goddamnit.

[It irritates him how often her lack of agency comes up during a simple conversation. This is almost as bad as the Sisters.]

Well, knowing a little is better than nothing. I guess I have to try harder and avoid dying in the future.

[arora]

I wish you the best of luck, Accelerator.

[levelshift]

Thanks.

Do you care if I share this with the rest of Etraya? It isn't sensitive information, right?

And I offered this to your sister, so I might as well do it for you, too. I have no idea if it's even possible, but if you ever want a break sometime I'm willing to try and maintain the crap around here for you.

[arora]

Anything I share with you is information you may share forward.
Anything you share with me on private channels, I will keep between us.

Numerous processes go into the daily upkeep of Etraya that I am not sure you would be able to address without my assistance, but I will keep that in mind. Thank you for offering your assistance.

[levelshift]

Okay, good to know.

I can probably find some help. Let me look into it.
