[A shrug.] That's the only thing I can figure. We're code so...we don't really age and we don't really die. They just take us back when our code errors, fix it, and spit us back out. That's why sometimes people can be brought into Cerealia without their memories. It's like they do a total reset of our code to purify it or whatever.

Or at least that's what somebody told me when I asked why I don't remember anything. [It definitely bothers him, to say the least.] Everything can be traced back to "we're code." But all codes can be overwritten. A couple of us in the colony are looking for answers for that reason. It's going about as well as you'd think, but...we have other angles to look at.
