No control over non-machines, though.

[Not quite as valuable as it could be, in Black Hat's opinion. The mention of energy surrounding him reminds Black Hat of something Nos-4-a2 mentioned when they first met.]

Did you take steps to amend that weakness? Your powers would be useless here otherwise, even if you are to reclaim them.

Before I was taken, I was in the middle of harvesting the effects of a strange cursed I'd passed on to a human to turn every organic thing in the universe into a machine for my own personal buffet.

I'm sure I could reclaim the plans for that from my memory files, given I reclaim some resources.

Or you could just write it out right now. Unless you're telling me you don't remember your own scheme, that you were just enacting?

[It's a good scheme in theory, but Black Hat is a bit slow on the whole 'former robot' angle.]

Of course I know my own plans. I forget now I simply have a memory, not a well organized set of files I can access from my own mind as I please.

There are parts of it I lack here and fear I will not get back for some time. I'm sure you lacked resources at your arrival as well, your so-called lordship

[That's just having a normal, well-compartmentalized memory??]

You're not unique in that regard, no.

[And that's all he'll say on that. He's, frankly, starting to lose patience with this conversation.]

Now, is there anything else you need besides the most basic of survival instincts explained to you? Time is money, Nos-4-a2.

I was looking for resources from someone who had been through something similar. The advice you've provided is enough, though I may come to you for more resources in the future.

Very well. I look forward to doing further business with you.

Enjoy your month, Nos-4-a2. The changes will come soon enough.
