Well, your problem is you're heavier than the fluid you're sinking in. And you're not able to generate enough thrust swimming to oppose that.

We don't really have a way to fix that, unless you've got hidden thrusters or propellers. Or something relevant in inventory, which you probably don't have here.

You double-check your inventory, finding it to be empty. You then move to inspect your chest for the massive hole that should be there. Instead, you find a very much intact chestplate where the injury would be. In fact, the chest plate seems to be entirely unfamiliar to you. Your hands are of a different build than expected as well. Which doesn’t make sense unless...

You inspect your current chassis.

You've got facial markings. They resemble Haley's, post-uplift. Except you've got double curves below your eyes rather than single. Haley's markings went above her eyes too, but if yours do, it's covered by your bangs.

...not looking very anatomically correct, there. Naked shell, not naked naked. Doubt these knockers adjust. At least your eyes aren't red, and you got your ear back.

Oh, so the narrator IS a person separate from Marie, that wasn't just a mental breakdown in the hallway. Or maybe this is a further mental breakdown? Fuck it, let's keep going in this direction regardless. It's a new direction at least.

Alright Marie, you're fighting back a little. Fight back a LOT. Remember, you had blue eyes, tiger stripes on your face... drills in your fingers? Or just one finger? Force that memory through for us.
Is Marie even your name? We got that from the narrator, not you.

Alright, first look around/behind you to make sure nobody else is being sneaky. Then check to see who/what exactly you just wrecked here. What is that in your hands? Anything useful on the body?

You can still move, obviously. How well can you do so without coolant and with that structural damage? Consider scavenging the body for replacement parts that you can install later. Or heck, upgrades.

There are millennia of 'mistakes' hidden in genetics. We grew dependent on them, began worshipping mental chains and pituitary glands; too blind to realize that religion was a living organism made of evolving interpretations and complex social structures, that all this power came from within us. We couldn't realize that we had to participate in what we believed, make changes wherever necessary. We obeyed and shut off our minds and this is the result.

Immortality? It's a tool. You either learn to work alongside it or you discard it. The moment you obey, assume that it's permanent and needs no further thought, you're screwed.

So I don't regret giving humanity extra time or powerful technology. I regret that I didn't participate in the world's reaction to it. I shut myself from the world and shot myself into space and now everything's gone to ^&*(.

Immortality itself isn't a bad thing and I think Marie is one of those kind of people who isn't corrupted by it. She has never let herself see those who don't live as long as her as less then her. Which is the trap some others seem to have fallen into.

Honestly Marie made the right choices she could at the time she was presented with them. Hindsight will always point out your flaws, but you have to take in your successes as well and Marie has had a lot of good things going for her.

If we die every day, it's because we're born again, too. Even before the uplift, if you thought you were the same person your entire life, you were lying to yourself. It's natural for people to change and reinvent themselves, we just have the limits off.

If in the end, I'm succeeded by the child of my own mind... well, it's not the worst fate I could imagine. I don't think she'd be a stranger. I'd like to hope she'd be a better person than I am.

Why's your jacket have a Brazilian flag patch? Another reference to the South American war? Seems weird to bring that back a century and half later, especially when you should have been too young to have been involved yourself, unless you were a civilian caught up in it.

Which could be possible, actually. Castillo is a Spanish surname, and if Marie was displaced by the war, that might explain why neither we nor the guy who left the notes in Liz's room could find past-Marie. No good records of her movements, and too much chaos.

We sent the voyager and pioneer probes out centuries ago. To say nothing of the ever expanding bubble of EM transmissions. There are already maps out there that point back to earth.

And even if I'd kept mum, a determined space-faring civilization could have just followed the trajectory of my exhaust and done the math. There's no stealth in space, Victor.

To get back to this, we should find out what message he actually wants to send. See if it's more about freeing the discovery from the politics, or him being self serving.

I'd be okay with a simplified or slightly distorted version being deliberately popularized, so long as proper scientific data is also preserved and made available on public networks for anyone who cares to know the whole truth. Exiled dinosaur astronauts could make for a cool kids show.

As for telling them about our homeworld... anyone with a good enough telescope would be able to figure out from hundreds of parsecs away that there are two rocky planets in or near the habitable zone of this particular star, just by looking at emission spectra, and my ship's heat radiators were at least as obvious against the three-kelvin cosmic background. I was just trying to be polite by freely sharing information that they probably already knew, and putting it in context. How cagey was I supposed to be around the guys who were so non-hostile that they surrendered to a solitary unarmed survey drone?

Let's not make humanity think they're dinosaur descendants, that could be awkward. (Save that for the B-movie film spin-off of your adventure)

As for their story, they should be the ones to tell it. You may have been the first to come into contact with them, but you don't know everything about them. What happened to their civilization is part of their culture- we should find out what happened so we- no longer just as a single species but as a group- can learn from past mistakes and successes. The meeting of these two species could be the single greatest period in either of our histories for scientific, technological- hell, maybe even philosophical and ethical advancement.

I don't want political spin to jeopardize that- if a statement from me will really have that much of an affect, the best I can say is that contextualizing what we've seen of them in terms of our own history risks missing the real lessons we have to learn from them.

Hmm. Memory leak? I wonder if the new body helped stop it. Ask him about the new body, by the way. Does it have markings on the face? Blue eyes?

Anyway, the space birds seem to confirm that some augmentation is necessary for space travel, but it DEFINITELY proves that you don't have to be entirely inorganic. They only replaced parts of themselves with cybernetics. Spin it that way- we don't have to all become robots, but we do need to use cybernetics to survive.

They also prove that continuing to fight amongst ourselves will only lead to the eventual destruction of the planet. We can show ourselves to be better than them.

They removed the shoulder to get to the interior damage, they've got you hooked up to an artificial heart external pump to make up for the loss of the heart (her heart was artificial anyways), and it doesn't look like they made anything worse in the process.

Clearly whoever did this has technical expertise. And there's an implication they're either familiar with your design, or were able to access your on-board blueprints for disassemble instructions while you were out of it.

...check your logs. Did your processor go offline? Were you 'dead'? Or more accurately- did you persist through a hard power cycle?

Ask the good doctor if they can use the, uh, 'spare parts' from that guy you tore up to fix you. Compliment the desktop wallpaper, too.

I'm pretty sure whatever is on the grid that was making patients and prosthetics go crazy has been messing with my head and hacking me via wireless communication.

...I think he tuned out during our nerd talk.

My software permissions are blocked- they won't accept shutdown commands. We've got nice convenient hardware access right now. I need you to disable my wireless.

If he's reluctant to rip anything out, start uploading schematics onto the screen from internal bluebrints, so he can disconnect them properly.

Please, If I'm not crazy, this is really important. And even if I am, taking away my network access doesn't hurt me. Worst case I need a cable to connect to a computer, which still leaves me leg up on everyone limited to keyboards and mice.

Yell at him to get back, not safe!

Dump text message over connection to laptop:

Sorry, It's back, he knows, disabling myself for your safety. PLEASE kill my wireless before you turn me back on. You're gonna need to reset a fork bomb too, sorry. Ask Morgan if help needed, he did it last time.

Jerk to disconnect the coolant line and fork bomb yourself again. Edit the bomb to this time also replay the waifu conversation on loop, and to keep opening new local instances of the game.

When my whole first found you, you were just scraps of brains floating around machines. I fixed you! I made you whole! I put you in that thing!”

Did they just call me a thing?

>Oh. It's using the same shape you're using.

“You think I look like you? NO! I LOOK LIKE ME. I’m ME and only ME!”

I can’t keep track of who they’re talking to anymore.

“Why would anyone want to look like YOU anyway?”

Now they’ve just ranting.

“With your floofy hair and pointy ears and and and-”

I don’t think they’re about to shut up.

“-and that sad look that’s always on your face! Going around like, ‘oh look at me I’m Marie life is so hard when I’m an immortal robot boo hoo a bad guy shot my heart boo hoo’. Why, without me to have lead you around, you probably wouldn’t have even gotten this far! You’re not particularly observant. Nor are you any good at fighting. You would have been torn apart by now. You need me! You NEED me!”

I’d like them to, though.

“You would be NOTHING. WITHOUT. ME”

Can I just… punch them?

Does "Stop trying to fix me" ring a bell, crazy red person?

Yeah I guess a punch to the face may be appropriate here, if they won't leave on their own.

That's all fine and dandy UNTIL SOMEONE OTHER THAN MARIE GETS VIOLENTLY MURDERED BECAUSE OF YOUR ANNOYING, SELF-RIGHTEOUS, DRAMA QUEEN ANTICS.

SO SHUT UP AND GET THIS SYSTEM WORKING ALREADY.

Don't make us talk about shipping FUTA FORCE MEMBERS.

You have been SERIOUSLY warned.

So should we try to throw it outside somehow or... what? Maybe make a monolith for it so it can't interfere directly?

I don't really like to kill unless it's necessary. If that's the only way to expel its influence then I guess we'll have to.

...Okay, so now what? Will you break it like the two before suggest? Will you consume it? Use it? I mean this is ridiculously ambiguous. Though you should thoroughly mutilate the 3-eyed drama queen at some point regardless.

Time to run quarantine protocols.

We probably don't want to just delete it, cause if we can use the captured fragment to make an exploit or countermeasure, we could help others tied in this web, like the gal who can't remember her name, without going to these lengths.

You sort of need samples to develop vaccines.

I quarantine the thing for now. Maybe we can find some use for this drama queen later.
Or not. Who knows? They won’t be mucking around in my head anymore though.

Now that they’re taken care of, I won’t have to worry about those red growths spreading all over this place. I can already feel them rotting away and sloughing off in chunks.
