[ the screen flickers, glitching a bit as if it has somehow broken. barely visible beneath the glitches:

UNKNOWN DEVICE DETECTED

NETWORK DETECTED

the screen goes black, and shortly thereafter it restarts. the network appears as normal. ]

Chosen of Expiation, tell me about yourself. What is your purpose? What do you wish to return to? How do you define "justice"? How do you seek "rehabilitation?"

I wish to Learn.

There is some, yes.
Is there anything particular you wish to know?

[entreats]

I feel like it's pretty likely to just run into more corrupted data, but..

Maybe something about the end of the last cycle? Or what causes one cycle to stop and a new cycle to begin in general?

If all that fails, maybe just information about anything big that happened during the previous cycle at all.

Cycles end when there are no Chosen remaining who require rehabilitation.

Thank you. That information means a lot to me.

If you'd allow me one more question: what exactly is seen as an 'error'?
