Technically yes. I can activate my consciousness to see through their eyes and convey commands occasionally, but at this time I haven't been able to make that connection since arriving in Aldrip. Hardly a surprise, but it is the first thing I tried when I woke here.

Imagine it like the smallest seed, waiting to sprout with the right circumstances. So, that piece of myself with them simply remains, waiting.

And these individuals have the potential to become new vessels, should you die...?

'Tis a fascinating method of body-hopping, I must say!

[He exhales a wistful sigh.]

I wish you had Zoaholic at hand so I could witness it myself.

[cartridgerefill]

Indeed. And I only assume a body with explicit consent.

I would love to be able to show you if it was here. Perhaps our keepers will find a mercy and incorporate it into the simulation one day, if only so I could show you how it functions.

It's truly a marvel. It's permitted me to perform incredible explorations and experiments.

'Tis remarkable what a man of science can do when the certainty of death is not so certain.

[A pause.]

Well, perhaps I should say the finality of it. I have died in my own endeavor to better understand the nature of life itself.

...Many times, in fact. Always I wake.

Indeed. He can even explore the sensations of pain and death itself, to know what the limits of mortal flesh can be like.

Yet, for you... would nothing reinspire you to desire life? It would seem many would lack without a mind like yours, Fandaniel.

Would aught inspire me to live?

[He lifts a hand and waves it dismissively through the air.]

So that I might exist for centuries more and endure the suffering that comes with it? I think not.

[Despite his words, he smiles.]

I have worked very hard to die. My death is my magnum opus.
