*My ears flick in excitement*
Great! Thank you. Including you, Prism.

@Valiance

Certainly; we can't leave any loose ends untied.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Even though it wasn't much, I'm glad I could help somehow!

@Source

It was more than you know. Really.

@System

I don’t know about your capabilities compared to your original counterpart. Here’s hoping I’m not asking too much.

@Valiance

In the worst case, consider myself expendable. I should be able to take measures the original Data would avoid.

Well, I'm glad it was what you were hoping for then.

@System

I still can’t tell whether to treat you as the original or not. It’s not offensive that I keep talking to you like you’re not him, is it?

Thanks again. Sorry to leave you so quickly.

@Valiance

It's alright; feel free to come and visit sometime. It's always eventful around here.

@Valiance

I can rationalize it. That said, where is the original?

@System

Injured and in hiding is the assumption. At this point I just think it’s likely he doesn’t want to be found.

Oh, I can only imagine.

@Valiance

Do you know how I was injured?

@System

Someone might but I do not.

@Valiance

Hm, I'm curious as to why there's been no common flag or beacon indicating that I survived.

@System

How recently does your memory go? You really were kind of just taking beating after beating. I wouldn’t be shocked if it reached a point where you decided your body was at its limit and you just needed time.

@Valiance

I recall being severely injured during combat with Graveny, which is where this sequence of unfortunate events started.

@System

That’s right. But more trouble has come knocking repeatedly afterwards. And only just now did I even learn you encountered another disaster. I guess you’ve just proven too reliable a guy, huh? Lots of people count on you, and lots of enemies see that.

*Chuckles*
That would be a new development. Perhaps there's room for improvement.

@System

Only you can answer that one, really. You ready to go?

Lead the way.

*Rows down a serene river on a hand-carved wooden boat in the midst of a white void, the river body made of innumerable white threads, within each a glimpse of color or motion that disappears as soon as it surfaces, the culmination of all threads casting a vague blue aura onto the vessel and its medium*
...
*Dips my scythe into the river, using its flat as an oar to guide myself away from the bank, as I pass a person, a structure, or another traveler*

Arcing? If you want to kill your wires, sure.

@Meta

It works, doesn't it?
