[There was still a faint glow emitting from Aya's palm as she activated the console, alternating her attention between the strange symbols being read off a holographic screen and the public she had chosen to address.  Her construct brows were slightly furrowed, indicating concern, even though her voice was as soft and audibly clam as ever.]

I have been hearing words of some sort of...illness?  [Though she did not seem convinced by the word choice]  ...that is allegedly spreading throughout the city.  Again.

[She had yet to forget those spores that had gotten even her sick some time back.]

Though both external and internal scans of my systems have yet to find evidence of an infection, I am nevertheless concerned for those who may be susceptible to its influence.  If you are exhibiting symptoms of any kind, I would be most interested in finding out what those are so that I may add them to my ongoing database of knowledge.

[...well, then.]

You sound considerably certain of this fact.

I have seen it. Haven't you? The way the light inside changed.

[Video]

[looksfine]

...Light?

[Her first instinct was to think of a...Green Lantern Light, which reflexively caused her to glance down. No. No, as far as she could tell, her physical form was still holding strong. There was no dimming of her construct body, nor any notable change in the power she was capable of exerting.]

Yes.

Inside. It is like someone removed debris blocking water and it could flow again.

[looksfine]

[First light. Now water.]

Are you currently speaking in metaphor? Because...I am not very proficient in non-literal terminology.

[Video]

[shroudofgray]

I have told you what I see. Is what you see different?

[Video]

[looksfine]

[...y...es?]

It is my understanding that the nature of multiple visible wavelengths can vary depending upon the receptive nature of that particular organism's photoreceptor neurons.

However, I have...never heard of an instance in which an individual is seeing both Light and Water when others do not, unless that individual is...hallucinating.

[She's not saying you're hallucinating. She's just saying.]

[shroudofgray]

People see things differently because their eyes are different?

...Yes. It would explain why Ico could not see some paths until I was able to show him.

[looksfine]

Either your visual receptors, or else the images that the neurons in your brain translate them to.

[Again, still not saying hallucinations but...]

I still do not fully comprehend why you are seeing what it is you claim to see, but...if that is the case, then yes. It is possible.

[Video]

[shroudofgray]

Perhaps it is not what I see, but what I say. I am sorry - there are many things yet that I do not know. When I see things, I speak them as best I can.

[Video]

[looksfine]

That much, I understand.

In fact, I am...sorry that I cannot understand your words themselves. There are limits to my database of knowledge, after all.

[Video]

[shroudofgray]

Were there things you also were not permitted to know?

[Video]

[looksfine]

[You mean like the memories of her actual birth? Possibly...]

I suspect there may be.

However, I do not know them, so I cannot say whether or not the knowledge has been purposely kept from me, or if I have simply not been made aware of it yet.

[Video]

[shroudofgray]

I understand.

If it has been kept from you, I hope you find it soon.

[Video]

[looksfine]

As do I.

Your concern is...greatly appreciated in this matter. [Translation: thank you for your kind words.]
