It takes a moment before Safronov can respond, being somewhat preoccupied with matters as it is without a confused old synthetic making things more complicated by his personal feelings. And while she might not have gotten her memories from a scientist, she was more adept at memory coding than her successor apparently is. Safronov never would have made such an amateur mistake, but now she's starting to wonder if she had made an error as well...

Too late to go back at this point. It's not like they can just disconnect and find another synthetic to connect with.

No, they have to do this now.

"It's an event where two linked minds start to bleed together. But this one appears to have already been here. Odd."

Maybe it would have made more sense if she had known about the dreams people shared, or the many other occurrences that can't be explained through the same logic Safronov is so used to.
