"Compact. I hate our computers, and yours looks actually user-friendly."

"All right, let's get you set up with one then. You can't have my kind unless you want me to scan your brain and stuff to make sure it's safe but here's the next best thing." He presents her with a little computer.

"I'll hold off on the brain surgery."

She takes the computer, and starts excitedly fiddling with it.

"Man, I'm going to have to figure out some of your tech... Maybe after I read through everything on sealing..."

"I gave you a pictographic operating system intended for new daeva who don't have any languages yet," Cam says, "since the OS hasn't been translated into your language, but if you don't care for it I can upgrade you once I've got machine translation going."

"Seals contain a lot of - not quite pictographs, but close. I'll be fine." Poke poke poke. Can she figure out how to access the assorted contents? 

It's not so intuitive as to be completely transparent, but she can figure it out with some work. The files are organized as they were in the original library.

Which she's never had access to, but is at least culturally familiar.

"Thanks. This is - a lot of previously lost knowledge."

"You're welcome, please reward my generosity by not using anything horrifying you find in there."

"I'm not really sure what you'd consider horrifying?"

"...can I think of an ethics textbook to outsource this to. No, not really. Uh. Do not do stuff to people without their informed consent unless they're like actually trying to kill you or somebody else??"

" - Okay but what if someone's already dead, who are we counting as a person whose informed consent needs to be sought - "

"A corpse is not a person but if you are doing something that might cause them to be a person you need advance permission from them or informed consent from - uh, non-estranged - next of kin. Those summonable snakes and what-all count as people though."

" - Obviously the summons are people? Okay and what do you mean 'cause them to be a person'? Is this, like, new person, or resurrection? What about people who've been dead a really long time?"

"I don't know what's obvious around here! Folks who summon me are usually on the fence about whether I'm people! I mean resurrection that might have side effects, if you are making a new person that gets into like... reproductive ethics I guess? And if it won't have any side effects and just actually makes them be alive no problem then I will consider that an exception to the thing where you need advance permission, run around doing that one all you want unless people tell you 'cut it out I'm trying to be dead'."

"You might need to explain that to Sasuke - I'm betting he's aiming at improving the Impure World Resurrection technique, and I'm not sure he has the same ethics sense as you."

" - Oh also we have a reincarnation system. It's next to impossible to prove who's whose reincarnation, but for when we can, can people consent for their past selves? Assuming it's even possible to resurrect someone who's already reincarnated..."

"...how does reincarnation work? If you can't prove it by having people, uh, verify their identities to their past life's kids or whatever?"

"You don't keep memories. Some sensors can catch it - I can - but there's usually enough of a gap between lives you can't guarantee there'll be someone alive who can recognize them as the same. Uh, main notable thing is personality continuity, some stuff that's similar about people's lives... Also people who believe in fate and fate-curses think that carries across lives?"

"We have souls, or at least distinct mental components to our chakra, that goes to the Pure World when we die, and then usually return to the Impure World some time later - the general theory is entering the body with the first breath, but it's really hard to confirm reincarnation in someone under around five so we're not sure on the timing there. There's no real continuity in bodies, except insofar as people's mental chakra is attracted to familiar physical chakra, so people do tend to reincarnate within their own or related clans."

"The Uzumaki are the main ones to have documented reincarnations, since we're often really long-lived and have a lot of sensors, so there's probably some actual literature in this library..."

"...okay I don't have a principled opinion I can generate in thirty seconds on reincarnations. If something is overwhelmingly unpopular maybe avoid doing it to reincarnations unless you have a really good reason to think they're an exception maybe? I'll think about that on the back burner and am happy to consult if you come up with a specific use case."

She shrugs. "If my or one of Sasuke's past lives was someone who might be useful for this, it'd be good if we could give consent on their behalf to being brought back with an early form of the Impure World Resurrection or something, because otherwise we might have trouble with making iterative improvements. But, yeah, not sure how to figure out who they were, unless you can grab 'everything by this person's past life' same as you can grab 'everything by this person'?"

"I might, actually, I have no reason to know if that's a conjurable parameter or not since humans I'm used to do not reincarnate."

"Oh, that'd be exciting, at least to know... I don't think I'll have tended to be anyone impressive, though..."

"Well, I can check, but it'll be little plastic models if it's anything, I don't know if you'd recognize their faces."

"If there's clan markings, maybe I'd recognize that at least..."

Cam makes an attempt. He hands her a little plastic model.

"An Uzumaki... No one famous, though. But thanks. I wonder who Sasuke's is - probably some old Uchiha... Though I guess we can poke him on that whenever he feels like being social again."
