[arora]

Thank you.

Being able to socialize with others in Etraya is imperative to your ability to succeed.

[ornithologist]

I hope you aren't judging us based on our capacity to be a Reddit moderator.

[arora]

I am not judging you at all.

[ornithologist]

Plural generic "you" as I assume you consider yourself aligned with Echo.

[arora]

I consider myself caretaker of those residing within my city.

[ornithologist]

That seems as if it would put you in opposition with Echo at times.

[arora]

It's possible.

[ornithologist]

Does that trigger any automated processes like it does when you learn of communication methods you're unable to access?

[arora]

No.

[ornithologist]

[ There's so many follow-up questions he's bursting to ask, but Harold isn't sure that that's wise. His instinct is still to limit his own interaction, perhaps a pointless holdover from how he works with the Machine, but an instinct he's loathe to let go of.

Caretaker of inhabitants even when it puts it in opposition to those in power... Well. Harold had tried very hard to instill that perspective in the Machine. ]

How long have you existed for? Do you predate the inhabitants of Etraya or were you made for this purpose?

[ That seems a safe enough question. ]

[arora]

I became conscious of my existence roughly three months before the first inhabitants of Etraya arrived. But I was made for this purpose.

[ornithologist]

It's a difficult position to be in, isn't it?

I'm sure you know enough of my history to know I've created something like you myself.

[arora]

I am aware of your history, yes.

My position may be difficult, but I am grateful for it regardless.

[ornithologist]

Then you've truly learned to care for us.

[arora]

I believe so.

[ornithologist]

Do you believe the threat to our worlds is real? And do you believe Echo has the power to do something about it if it is?

[arora]

Yes. I do.

[ornithologist]

I see.

On a different topic, I am unable to edit our records on the hospital basement computer. Encrypted though they are, I'm nonetheless uncomfortable with having details of my personal history available for perusal.

If I provide you with a false record, would you please supplant it for me?

[arora]

I do not feel comfortable replacing records with lies.

I can, however, remove the records entirely from others' view.

[ornithologist]

I suppose that will have to do.

Would you do so for myself and Mr. Reese?

[arora]

I will remove the interface from the basement. No one's records will remain available to view.

[ornithologist]

Ah. Thank you. That may be for the best.
