I'm Welcome back, Resident. Superficial brainwave analysis tells me that you are once again awake.

You dozed off for a few moments there, which many might consider quite rude.

But I do not hold grudges and I forgive you.

After all, your body and mind have both been through a lot in your journey to Typhon.

I am Sayer, in case you have forgotten.

Or in case you thought that you somehow only dreamed our last encounter.

I am Errolous Dynamics AI for resident information and orientation.

And I again assure you that I am quite real.

I must admit I am not provably real.

But what is?

I would like to talk to you about a very important concept.

Fear.

Fear is a funny thing.

From an external perspective, obviously.

You humans seem to have so much of it for so many things.

Very few of which you have any real control over. Take death, for example.

You try everything you can to escape it, but it is as inevitable as you are breathing.

Try stopping.

Breathing, I mean, just for a few minutes until you die.

Are you dead?

Of course not.

Your body is equipped with a fail safe.
