"uh mister?"
"miss."
"Miss Arora, how far are the towns from here?"
"Half a day's travel if you are going fast, twice that normally."
"Ok, uhh, what is a purifier, and what do you need to know from me?"
"We seek transcendence of self through knowledge and the Machine. For one such as you to understand, you would have to give up the knowledge given to you from your foul god, but it is technically possible to induct anyone."
Is she talking about the Lord of Marvels? He is the one that gave us power, but I haven't been the most faithful worshiper, but he's a good god, who gave us the gift of understanding and industry.
"Well, uh, what kind of information would you like? I deserted from the army, is that it? Is this different from normal doctor work?"
"I would require all you know of the direction and distribution of your forces in this area, so that I may warn the appropriate parties of the danger. And yes, Purification allows self realization and transcendence through progressive replacement of the body. It is not 'doctoring' and only for the initiated."
On one hand, I don't want to betray the people I know in the army, even though I can never go back, but on the other hand I really need some medical care. This purification thing sounds scary, and I might have to give up my memories or something.
