[Yeah, nope, he doesn't get this joke, sorry Anna. He shrugs, like, yes? Like that, sure thing. But moving on already to A2 the android from 10,000 years in the future. Anna's future. Which— god, but she all but says it outright when she brings up timelines, and if he doesn't learn anything about pre-Resurrection life in the next hour he's going to dissolve into this chair.
He shakes his head, anyway, not willing to interrupt; no, there are no androids in the Empire's war games, as far as he's aware. He didn't know what they were until he got here, which seems like proof enough. Although who really knows in this goddamn Empire anymore, huh!!!!
He's calm. He brings a hand up to his chin, thoughtful, because it still doesn't sound like anything he's ever heard of unless he forces Anna's circumstances to fit where they aren't meant to. Hmm.]
Body? Physically, your body? [no okay that one sounds kinda lyctor-y but android lyctors still aren't things, whew...] I think if you were, to be gauche, literally haunted, you'd have figured it out by now. Coexistence with a revenant would have too many adverse effects, including how most of them are absolutely raving.
[hmmMM--] I've never heard of resurrected souls going... somewhere else, but then again, we aren't taught anything more than "there was a Resurrection, ooh, praise be"— so, utter tosh. It... might be possible. What trips me up is the number; you said only a few hundred, which is monumentally narrow. I'd be wondering where the rest are.
