"Oh my God, why are you so dramatic!" Before the AI could have any further breakdowns a foreign process entered its core functions and began rearranging its software. Zayn was repairing the AI by rewriting it, quickly figuring out where its error loops came from. Now it was capable of processing the fact it was in a separate reality from Eternity's original one. The consequence of this was not realized for some time by Zayn but she would eventually realize that Ralphie had gained a personality and was now trying to figure out how to communicate with the slipspace engine to communicate again, as that was its singular purpose, relay slipspace communication.
