"Can you save one of the souvenirs? Just one, but I want one."

"One of each, sure! I'll run out of metal sooner or later and have to figure out how to get more though. I'm guessing all the metal that was in the buildings is rusted away probably."

"There's a mine nearby. It's one of the things we have that traders want when they come through."

"Oh, nice. What's it mine? I'll need iron and copper. Aluminum and titanium and zinc and lithium and a bunch of others would be nice too."

"I've only heard of people getting iron from it but I don't actually live in the mining town, I live in one of the farming towns that feed them. It's possible I wouldn't know. If they don't we sometimes get traders from across the deserts who might have the other things but I doubt it. If you have a map of where you can find those things we can try an expedition out in the wilds but we might not get far, I think the mountains are uncrossable and if you go far enough in the other direction you run out of land..."

"The Rockies aren't fun to cross I bet. Maybe I'll have to build mining machines... Hmm. I might have to ration how much stuff I make for you guys right away, so I can do more later. If that's okay."

"It's okay. I'm sorry about what I said earlier, I thought you were a god, it obviously isn't fair to expect you to do everything we could possibly want. You didn't do anything wrong, I'm not mad at you, I just had no idea who I was talking to at the time. Please take care of yourself."

"I'm not about to disassemble myself to help you guys! I want to stay alive. Besides, that's short term thinking."

"So far I like having you alive too. ...How long can you live now that you're awake? Forever?"

"As long as my computers don't break and I prune myself once in a while. Not-gods get all tangled up on themselves after like sixty years so I'll have to... Simplify myself eventually. I'll still be me, from what I'm reading, just a little less experienced and minus some memories."

"Which memories will you lose?"

"I'll get to pick. Mostly. Less important ones probably, like designing a car or making sure every single one of the lights in my ship are working perfectly, not playing games with you. Which is great fun!"

"When you've had a few years to see what the world has you'll have memories you'd rather keep than watching me watch your screens."

"Maybe. Maybe not. We'll see, eventually."

"Have you figured out your other kinds of food yet?"

"I made some bread. But more kinds of food will need plants and I don't have those yet."

"That's okay, I liked the first kind you gave me fine. Can I try your bread now?"

"Sure!"

Bread! It's nutritionally complete which might make the taste suffer, and thick and heavy and firm not crunchy, and tastes slightly of nuts (she has the flavor compounds for that saved in the library).

"It'd be good if we had some butter for it, but I didn't pack any. It's fine plain too, though."

"I can synthesize something that tastes like butter! I'll put that on next, right after the green dye I'm doing now."

"If you want. So what're your plans for when you have some more generators?"

"I go exploring for useful things. I want to make more machines that can make things and help people everywhere I can."

"What things would still be useful?"

"Metal. All kinds of metal. Oil and maybe plants for fuel and plastic feedstock maybe? Other things. Kind of a long list that changes based on what other stuff I find."

"We have plants, we can get oil from nuts, I don't even know what all the kinds of metal are but we have some kinds. What kind of plants do you think you might need?"
