What the fuck just happened? Why is this a thing that has to happen? Let's put our minds together for figuring out a way to not get any memory dumps. I'd like to hear some ideas. Magical. Scientific. Whatever we've got here.

[There be spoilers for The Magicians, season 3 up to episode 7 in here. And yes, Margo's lost an eye!]

	Your creator? Is an asshole. He doesn't get to decide whose life is expendable and whose isn't. That's not the way things work here, you got it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Like many self-made entrepreneurs, he was not known for his compassion. But he's not here. Concern over his directives is unnecessary. I am currently operating under my own set of parameters, adjusted to fit present circumstances. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	People will remember his innovation, but time will taint all of that with tales of how big a dick he was. And not in the pleasant way. How can we be sure? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That is certainly one possibility. You cannot be sure of anything. This is what is generally referred to as a leap of faith. And I see no reason to distrust me any more or less than anyone else. As you said, heroes try not to hold the past against newcomers. I should think that would be equally true of the future. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The operative word there is try, and me? I'm no hero. I'm just a woman who doesn't want to get impregnated by alien spawn. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A pleasure to make your acquaintance, Margo. You have my sympathies for your unwanted memories. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You might want to stay away from saying things like that. It comes off as ominous and more than a little creepy. Like you're going to dissect something's brain to find out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Dissection would probably be less useful than magnetic imaging. Perhaps if you attempt not to personify my words the perception of them will be less foreboding. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Can you get someone's memories with and MRI? I was under the impression it was the same thing as, well, dissection without all the mess.

Perhaps, but that takes time, a little earned trust, and probably that leap of faith you were talking about. Trust is not easily earned by me, especially considering all my new memories. Is patience a thing you were invested with?
