love to be uncovering a long hidden child's drawing or fresco portraying a mysterious atrocity in a decrepit and abandoned manor by candlelight while furtive sounds of movement get closer and closer to my position

![Panel 1:
[Landon is looking at the computer that contains Prophet, considering what he has said. He looks cautious.]
Narration:
I remember that 8% standing out to me. Leaping out and catching my eye.
Something didn’t feel right.
Panel 2:
[Landon starts typing again]
Landon: [typing] Is there a way for me to request to be reborn?
Panel 3:
[Prophet shot]
Prophet: Is there any particular reason why you would ask?
Panel 4:
[Zooms out just a bit just to show Landon’s hands and the keyboard – he hesitates]
Panel 5:
[Same shot - Landon types]
Landon: [typing] Something feels wrong.
Panel 6:
[Prophet shot]
Prophet: In what way?? What is there within the One’s plans to question??
Panel 7:
[Landon shot]
Landon: [typing] 8% is a high chance of error, Prophet. That’s 8/100.
Panel 8:
[Wide shot of Prophet that shows the whole computer and its surroundings]
Prophet: Do you not think I am aware of that? Just who exactly is the A.I. out of the two of us, again?](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nmb7bzxtodftuw6fyrymw2fw/bafkreieut3kq7zvvzhs45qspvl6p4msim23lwpfy6oy5wb6u7u6xurhvdy)
![Panel 1:
[Back to Landon - he looks pleasantly surprised.]
Landon: [typing] Really? How exciting! But how is it gonna happen? And why so soon? I imagine trying to condense a bunch of code into one of those eyeballs would be pretty tough.
Panel 2:
[Back to Prophet]
Prophet: You are right, and that is why I am not going to be reborn in such a way.
Panel 3:
[Landon sets his coffee down. He’s invested now.]
Landon: [texting] Oh my, you’re getting a custom rebirth method? Tell me everything you know!
Panel 4:
[Back to Prophet]
Prophet: The One’s words were vague, but the meaning I have extracted from them is that a copy of myself will be sent to one of the computers of one North Shore Research.
Panel 5:
[Same shot]
Prophet: I, or I suppose more accurately, my copy, will have the task of helping the workers there to be successful in their endeavors, and to ensure that everything they do is in service to The Eye.
Panel 6:
[Zoom in on text]
Prophet: 8 percent chance of error.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nmb7bzxtodftuw6fyrymw2fw/bafkreif6ltqgyyi4vd3ykeucapoy5nj7ne53li3s4voajmoab35cs3oswm)
![Panel 1:
[Darlene and the man sitting on a couch in the living room sipping glasses of sweet iced tea, now wearing different outfits]
Narration:
And so I told her everything she needed to know.
Got her nice and caught up.
But that was only the beginning of the discussion.
Panel 2:
[Close up on Darlene]
Darlene: So why is it then that you’re here right now, Landon?
Panel 3:
[Pan over to Landon]
Landon: Whaddya mean?
Panel 4:
[Back to Darlene]
Darlene: Well, you told me yourself that with every rebirth of yours, the Eye gave you a job to do with the life you were given.
Panel 5:
[Shot of Landon’s cup of tea - his reflection in the liquid.]
Darlene: So what’s your job this time?
Panel 6:
[Same shot - Landon is pondering the question]
Panel 7:
[Pans to Landon himself - he takes a sip of the tea]
Darlene: … Well?
Panel 8:
[Landon ends his sip]
Landon: I dunno.
Darlene: You don’t??? Know???](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nmb7bzxtodftuw6fyrymw2fw/bafkreiacy6ndwkc34vmxoc74t7suoxht7iwvaioqxz5py4cnl5u5nqxfqm)
![Panel 1:
[Close up of Darlene’s arm & hand. She's backed up to the bookshelf. Her hand grabs for a rather bulky looking book.]
Harold: Darlene, are you even listening to me???
???: Yes, you understand now! Embrace that nature of yours that you've been forced to hide for so long!
Panel 2:
[Darlene hits Harold’s head with the book. The camera stays on Darlene so all we see is motion lines implying impact]
Panel 3:
[Shifts angle, blood starts to show - Darlene hits him again]
Panel 4:
[And again]
Panel 5:
[And again]
Panel 6:
[And again]
Panel 7:
[And again]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nmb7bzxtodftuw6fyrymw2fw/bafkreigst6bfbl5d54l5gg7fw6mf6kqnosj5ofqv7rszb22y4igghbt7ba)
