NOTE: As of 12/2016, Rey has adopted the alias "Fiona Stransky" when working with the Guard. Something to keep in mind, as Rey maintains a low profile with her involvement in the group. Other than what is mentioned in the Guard records, there is no trace of a "Fiona" identified on the network.

It is data that I was made to believe I had recorded. I thought at the time that I had acquired it by way of interpersonal interaction over a notable length of time.

[circumitus]

[At first Rey hears differently -- that he had any sort of records, proof that Undine was here. More than a grave marker by the river...

[It has been a while since Rey went there, afraid to find that it did not survive the transition to this planet. She shakes her head, as if to wring out the thought.]

Well, you weren't the only one who... "remembered" her. Nick also...

[That's a hard thought to finish.]

[onlyanautomaton]

... I "remember" she spoke of him often.

[Mr. Valentine was second to her favorite subject of conversation.]

[circumitus]

Ah, y-yeah.

[Even though she is well aware, she can't help that her face flushes a bit at that. It's always been more of an unspoken fact between Rey and Nick, never something anyone went to her to discuss until now. It's weird.]

Don't know how that happened. [Or why.]

[onlyanautomaton]

[Oscar casts his gaze away from her, taking in the sight of the counter beside them.]

She may not have been your creator... but her confidence in you was inspiring, Miss Rey.

[circumitus]

Not sure if what she felt was what you'd call confidence...

[More like love -- something in which Rey is remiss to admit, true that it is.]

[onlyanautomaton]

These memories are not what they seem, yet I feel that I owe her the duty of informing you on her behalf of the extent to which she believed in your abilities.

[circumitus]

[A "duty", he feels... There is an argument that could be made that an automaton is capable of feeling anything, let alone a sense of commitment. That's how Rey used to think, too, until things inevitably changed. She had met Nick, and before Nick, there was Aiden... Neither deserved the things that had happened to them. Both Rey had felt a sort of kinship to.]

You know, there aren't that many people who even know who she was. Had such an impact on robotics and AI, but her name never remembered.

[Pause.]

It's... good, that people remember her.

[People other than Rey alone, that is.]

[onlyanautomaton]

People like your creator were not taken with the pursuit of fame. They were driven by their passion.

[circumitus]

[With most people, a "What the fuck would you know?" would be in order. As it is, Rey is just quiet for a moment.]

Maybe... but it's not fair to them to be forgotten, either.

[As if life is ever fair.]
