Nono, the soul stuff.

@Spiritblitz

*Zooms in to a finer piece of the soul and removes a small component*
I've done work with souls on and off for a while now. It's not a specialty of mine.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

There’s a mild level of concern that’s just baseline. Can’t help it.

@GalaxyRaider

Be concerned enough to be mindful, I suppose.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Just trying to gauge the difference in experience.

@GalaxyRaider

*Rearranges a series of connections between different components*
I wouldn't be very concerned, as long as you don't trigger a regression.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

How long have you been doing this?

@Spiritblitz

Science? Approximately ten thousand years.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

That’s good. Wasn’t sure how much more experience you had gotten in the subject between your first and second time working with her.

@GalaxyRaider

Her release wasn’t too long ago, in the scheme of things.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

I’d have no way to know. So good. You worked on many artificial souls since her?

@GalaxyRaider

The project isn’t ripe enough to attempt a new soul. However, I’ve refined the constituent components that comprise a soul. She should be more stable than before.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Make sure she stays herself!

@Techspert

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Right, let’s not go just changing who she is.

@GalaxyRaider

This functionality is auxiliary and distinct from her personality. While all components of the soul impact the others, this should have a negligible effect.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Not from me, so long as you’re confident.

@GalaxyRaider

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Be sure to keep her safe. Really.

@Techspert

While it has been several years, I believe this should be achievable.
*Begins to pull at the model with the gloves, making modifications and dropping in new components*
I’ll also add a contingency to prevent this failure point in the future.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Just as well. I’d love to leave all this in the past anyway.

@GalaxyRaider

Very well. Assuming there are no objections, I’ll begin the process.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

That makes infinitely more sense. Yeah, sounds like a plan if I’ve ever heard one about fixing a soul… Which I haven’t, but still.

@GalaxyRaider

I would caution you all, once this process terminates, you must not inform Melody of the events that took place. Especially early in the process, memories can be rebuilt from side channels.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

All memories?

@GalaxyRaider

Ah, forgive me for not elaborating. It’s simpler to target older, rooted memories. I can identify those and erase them from the model, and then use the model to mask operations on the actual soul, effectively inverting which memories were targeted. Then we begin corrective measures.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

She mentioned something about that too, while we were there.

@System

<Snipped quote by System>

Right. There’s not much else that I think could explain it.

@GalaxyRaider

Simple and short enough. I’ll erase all memories before the Nemid encounter. There may be some residual oddities, but that will enable corrective measures.
