[Jaime watches Robin carefully, curious about what he's going to do, but he nods as he draws away from it all. He only saw a single image, but the idea of wading through everything that Khaji's seen in his life is a terrifying prospect. He'd been there, waiting and watching, for years and years in the darkness of the pyramids. He's been around for Dan, and for Ted. He's been around for the Reach, listening to their conversations as they prepared to send him to the next planet for conquest.]
...yeah. I'm not sure how much of this stuff that humans are really meant to see. This is never too much for you? [He asks Khaji, turning towards him.
There's silence for a moment, as Khaji attempts to parse the question, but he can't understand it on a human's terms.]
It is as it is.
[It's a non-answer, but it's the best that they're going to get. For Khaji, this is all that there's ever been, and all he's been programmed for. Scarabs aren't seen as people. They were meant to wait and watch for as long as necessary, and they were meant to do it in isolation.]
I don't think we're gonna find much else, Robin, not unless we wanna get lost for the nest week. You wanna call it quits here? I appreciate you giving this a shot, but... we knew this was a long shot anyway.
