Hello
If we have not met my name is Octavian
I am an alchemist and as always I am accepting small amounts of blood for a personal project

But that is beside the point

[Just, you know, getting it out of the way that he's always on the hunt for blood samples to save, anyway—]

The point is during our mutual excursions to maintain the integrity of this world
In the ruins I was set upon by a manner of vision
Very abrupt
not entirely welcome
In the water I experienced memories that were not my own
Something about a breed of serpentine people
Where are they
?

The recollection suggested they were not always serpents but perhaps once like us
A group brought to this place and changed
Was this previously known
and
has anyone else experienced these visions
?

It's sad. Comparing it to age-related cognitive decline is probably fair, though age is an irrelevant concept to a machine.

Thanks, Octavian. I really appreciate that.

A machine can be repaired more easily
True
?

Or do you believe what was done to her is more complex
?

[computation]

Maybe. Depends on what the issue is.

It's like with human bodies -- it can't always go back to the way it used to be, you know?

[manifestering]

Yes I do
Regrettable in every sense
Well
If she can be helped I believe you are the right person for it

[ Root's reaching her limit for compliments she can accept gracefully, honestly starting to get a little flustered by the number of people here who believe in her. It's, like, a whole three people, and it's kind of stunning. ]

I'll try, at least. Let me know when you're finished with your notes and I'll add to them.
