Hello. I've already been informed how I died, don't jump over yourselves to tell me.

I would like your help in finding out what happened to Andromeda afterward.

Comments

[snowblindmods]

Let's just say that's not something we've ever had to work with.

[thewarningafter]

Which makes it kind of puzzling that the systems here would have known what to do with it.

[Hang on.]

We?

[snowblindmods]

This planet as a whole.

[thewarningafter]

How much magic would you say this planet as a whole has seen?

[snowblindmods]

None.

[thewarningafter]

And yet it's supposed to be the nanomachines responsible for dampening magic for those of us who should be able to use it. How would they know how to do that?

[snowblindmods]

I honestly have no idea.

[thewarningafter]

[He's silent a moment, mulling that over, before an idea drags him back to the previous topic.]

You said the nanomachines transmit a recording. Are they just recording what we see and hear?

[snowblindmods]

They record everything you experience and what's going on with your body.

[thewarningafter]

So, say, a blindfold wouldn't be enough to stop them transmitting my perceptions to the network.

[snowblindmods]

Right. They'd still be transmitting everything you sensed in other ways.

[thewarningafter]

And the mind fills in the gaps.

[He curses softly under his breath.]

I'm open to suggestions here. And I meant it when I said I'd help you with Andromeda, I just don't know what I'm looking for.

[snowblindmods]

You're probably looking for a body or signs of her being killed. It'd be nice if you were looking for something else, but that's probably

Never mind. She was traveling to the town hall, and it doesn't seem like she could just casually walk down the street, so she must have stopped in a few different places like you guys do when you're moving around. If you can find signs she was there, that would be good enough.

[thewarningafter]

How long could one of you have lived in those bodies? It's...possible, assuming she wouldn't age.

[He doesn't sound all that hopeful.]

If the security wall was up, she'll have followed the same path we will. If there's anything to find, we'll find it.
