Hopefully this conversation will give Castela some peace of mind.

I wonder if Phix knew this could happen... I mean I know she knew about the play back feature, but did she know it could go interactive like this?

The worst thing is, now Castela will want to bring A'sawi here... This rollercoaster ride isn't over yet...
You know that light at the end of the tunnel?

Yeah... it's a bullet. Sorry.

I dont think Atsali is even close to ready to learn any of this. She already at the breaking point, this would probably push her over.

Castela needs to bring this to Kath. Kath needs to figure out if and how to bring this to Atsali.

She could, if she rolled that way.

Castela is not a "blossoms and bunnies" kinda girl - more a "thorns and trolls" type.

Katherine, maybe, but I doubt Atsali is ready for it.

Next question is: Is this construct supposed to appear, or is it an accidental result of Castela dumping so much Blackthorn energy into the holodeck?

I'm guessing that it's a deliberate part of the programming. Phix said that the Library would collate and sequence all of the information and present it as a narrative. Castela has just met the narrator for this part of the presentation.

And she's probably about to explain why she brought Castela home.

Humm, if the construct were to talk to Atsali and explain how proud they were that she carried on their duty as guardian of Castela after they fell in the line of duty might just make a world of deference to her. On the other hand could also drive her coocoo for coco puffs.

Personally I suspect that the Library computer weighs a number of factors in deciding how to present things...

... and a certain sphinx has her thumb on the scale.

Of course, this comic has some severely problematic ramifications for my character in the fanfic... Glytch is a firm believer in the "A.I. Is A Crapshoot" trope. He would be, at the absolute minimum, extremely suspicious of this "Downloaded" Leucoisa. He'd also be pants-shittingly terrified of the overall Library A.I. too, but he hasn't learned about that yet.
