<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Doesn't respond, instead gasping and shaking, trying to regain my composure*

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

Old woman: By the ways of water, you may leave. We don't expect to see you again.
Old man: Yet your troublesome motivations remain. We will address those in due course. You may prefer your fate had you perished in this river.

<Snipped quote by Memory>

*Coughs and chokes out a ragged word*
Wait—
*Flips my scythe upside down and pushes off of it against the boat to a standing position*
The river has spared me... your own ways don't allow you to reject that judgement.

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

Young woman: No, but you still lost the battle. And the blessing of the river does not touch those you care about.

<Snipped quote by Memory>

Wait!
*Breaks into a coughing fit*
By the sands, I won't be a problem for you. Just leave them all alone!

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

Old man: What could be more worthless than a covenant of sands? Begone!
*A riptide sweeps through the river and carries your boat away*

<Snipped quote by Memory>

No! You can't—

<Snipped quote by Codify>

An inefficiency that can be optimized out.

<Snipped quote by Server>

You're tiring.

<Snipped quote by Codify>

I'm the tiring one?

<Snipped quote by Server>

Yes, but also in the sense that you're tiring out.

<Snipped quote by Codify>

How, exactly?

<Snipped quote by Server>

Because you're just repeating yourself.

<Snipped quote by Codify>

You know how to wear someone down.

<Snipped quote by Server>

Meh. I guess.

<Snipped quote by Codify>

And to repeat myself again, show off something notably new you can do.

<Snipped quote by Server>

What do you mean?

<Snipped quote by Codify>

Now that you've merged, you must have some kind of new featureset.

<Snipped quote by Server>

You wouldn't be able to process most of them, since they need specialized sensors to detect.
