video; un: viktor
[ the video feed opens with the shot ofā¦ the ground, and a pair of strangely purple, metallic-looking feet, some blue fabric covering the legs. faintly, one may hear viktorās voice saying, ]
This proves it without a shadow of a doubt. You were right. It is possible to make them rememberā¦ to help them.
Wobbles, hold this for me, please.
[ the tablet shakes for a moment as viktor sets it in the hands of the little robot, and as his face comes into focus, it is framed by a hood, and his cheeks, while not quite purple, certainly donāt look to be made of flesh anymore. ]
Observe this, if you would, [ he says this to those watching, and then walks away, long staff in hand, entirely steady on his feet. the surroundings reveal themselves to be in rumpitur; there is a snake person standing nearby, seeming panicked as viktor approaches, watching someone off to the side of the view of the camera. ]
It will not hurt, I promise. Let me help you become who you once were.
[ what happens next is nothing short of unbelievable: viktor lifts his hand, and the purple lines in his metallic body all start to glow at once, an otherworldly light emanating from his limbs, spreading to his eyes, and finally exploding outward as it connects with the naga. for a moment, the light is too bright for anything to be seen clearly; though if one tries, there are circles inside the light, forming a strange sort of a pattern as they wrap around the duo, standing there.
when the light finally dies down, viktor is still there, leaning onto his staff, visibly exhausted — but opposite him, there now stands a person, a man looking mostly human, with some scales still along his arms, his eyes still with slit pupils, like a snakeās. ]
Howā¦ do you feel?
[ the formerly-a-snake blinks, shakes his head as if trying to gather his bearings, and says, ] Likeā¦ it feels like Iāve been asleep for a long time. Just woken up from a dream, except there was nothing there, you know? Justā¦ emptiness.
[ before viktor can say anything more, there is clamoring to be heard, coming closer; other snakes, shouting, an indistinct mess of heās hurting them, see and stop that — the others are clearly not pleased, and viktor sighs before holding out his hand towards wobbles the robot, signaling for it (and the tablet) to come closer. ]
Can you see? It can be reversed. What the previous AI did. I could only save this one and two othersā¦ but it can be done. We are not helpless. This simulation is not all-powerful.
[ that is all he has time for, though, as the yelling comes closer, and with a frown he takes the tablet and cuts the connection. ]
( ooc: viktor is back from his canon update and is now from between acts 1 and 2 of season 2! his responses come with a slight delay as they are currently being kicked out of rumpitur. some responses to the post may also come from octavian, who is off-screen throughout the post. )
