[morethan084]

Are we in some kind of framework?

[Not even a hi, hello, how are you.

It’s occurred to Daisy that this is a very real possibility. That their minds have been uploaded into an virtual reality.]

[arora]

Hello, Daisy Johnson.

You are physically present here on Etraya.

[morethan084]

but you arent

and neither is Echo, right?

[Yes she's still thinking about their last conversation.]

how are these buildings being built so quickly?

[arora]

I do not have a body, and Echo is elsewhere.

The companion bots I have populated Etraya with are accommodating with getting up new facilities. I request supplies to be brought in from off-planet, they utilize these supplies to build as I instruct.

[morethan084]

where is elsewhere? seems rude to not be here to greet her new guests.

and they can build them over night?

[Press X for doubt.]

[arora]

I don't have Echo's exact coordinates.

You are more than welcome to watch them work.

[morethan084]

why’s that?

[arora]

I am not Echo's keeper.

They don't mind company.

[morethan084]

[It occurs to her now...]

have you even met echo?

[arora]

I have spoken with Echo much in the same manner I am speaking to you.

[morethan084]

but we can't communicate with them?

[arora]

Echo is not available on the network.

Had they been, you would see their contact card.

[morethan084]

and why is that? Surely if she “manages” this place, we should be able to reach her.

[arora]

If it were possible, you would see their contact card within your device.

Their contact card is not available.

Echo is not available to be reached.

[morethan084]

so you said

but why isnt it possible?

[arora]

Their contact card is not available.

Echo is not available to be reached.

Hello, Aurora.

I have a technical question, if you have time.

[arora]

What can I do to help, Francis Krouse?

[equivo]

I'm interested in a specific kind of arrival.

I've talked to a few people who mentioned that they died in their worlds, and then ended up here, alive. How much of the mechanism behind that can you explain to me?

[arora]

We are able to bring others back from the brink of death.

What happens after death can differ between worlds, species, and cultures.

Death does not hold the same weight on Etraya as it may hold off this planet.

If you have a reason for asking, I can more clearly answer if you will tell me what you are looking for.

[equivo]

There's someone I want to bring back.

I know that you're not the one choosing us. I'm not asking you if you'll do it.

I just want to know if it's a possibility. And if you can tell me, I want to know if there's anything I can do to influence that possibility.

[arora]

Time is flexible. What you see as a fixed point may not be so fixed.

But nothing you do will influence the possibility of others from your world being chosen. I'm sorry.

[equivo]

What do you mean by 'may not be so fixed?'

[arora]

There are others here who share the same world, but arrived from different points in time.
Others are from similar worlds, but where certain events hadn't occurred, or happened differently.

I would suggest conversing with your peers.

[equivo]

[ He has a hundred new questions, none of them fully formed. They're not worth asking until they are. He has enough answers to start working with, the first and most important being this: she didn't tell him no.

He's gotten by on less. ]

I'll do that.

Thank you.

And I'd appreciate it if you didn't mention this conversation to anyone here.
