Mathematician and teacher. I know you hated math in school. You don't have to tell me.

@jon.inkle.co #Heaven'sVault Okay, I maybe just fell too far down the patois rabbit hole on this one, and feel free not to answer. Did Aliya literally give Tapi a knife with his own name written on it?

"... I have... questions." "Answers will come. In time."
A Heaven's Vault robot, with a damaged chassis and a somewhat rounded, sleeker face. This definitely isn't Six.

As a little bonus for reading this, here's a quick fable from the Nebula. Skip it if you like.

Once there was a fisherman whose sole possession was a tiny, flat-bottomed boat. He would row out into the middle of the vast watery lake on whose shores he lived, and then ship the oars and peer out over the side, gazing down through the layers and layers of the clear water below. 
He would watch the strange creatures that crawled across the deepest rocks. He would follow the fish that swam above them, birds through a liquid sky. And then, when a fish swam close enough to shadow of his boat, he would raise a sharp-pointed metal spear and plunge it into the water, skewering his prey from above. 

The fisherman was patient and precise, but also vain: he considered himself to be like a God to the creatures beneath: unrelenting in his observation, ruthless in his judgement. He saw himself, not as hunter, but as a guardian, keeping the lower world firmly in its proper place. 

After many years of patient hunting the fisherman began to grow angry. First at his boat - it rocked! - then at the water - so cold! - and finally at the fish themselves. Why did they not respect him? Why did they wait so long before rising up to greet his shadow? Why did they not flock to him, turning sideways to expose their delicate gills to his spear? He decided, eventually, to punish them: he would watch over them no more. He would leave them to attend to themselves. He did not even push his boat out into the water: instead he shattered it, and threw the pieces away. Then he sat on the sloping shore by the lapping lake and waited for the fish to come to him.

When finally he died of hunger, his body slid down into the water, and there was skewered from below by a thousand tiny, beautiful teeth.

If you've never seen I Heart Huckabees, you really should. I saw it in theatres, but when I went back to try to see it again, it was already gone.
