9. Something that was tarnished or desecrated is finally restored.

Out in the Great Wide Web, there were certain spaces that he had randomly decided were his.

His to watch over, his to while away hours on (secretly, of course) when there was unexpected downtime... his to protect.

Before becoming an Agent, Peri hadn't had all that much downtime; that in and of itself probably said something about them. But, to check in on one of those spaces after what, when the endless loops and slurries of time were ultimately resolved, had been years, and find it gone - it hurt.

It wasn't as if it were a (meta)physical blow; this was softer, as if something had been dissolved instead of smashed. But the WALL-E Forum had been torn up and set away all the same. They should - could? - do something about it...

And, well. They had always been fond of restoration projects.


It took them months. Not just to figure out where all the data went, but to put it back together precisely. And for practical as well as legal reasons, the restoration couldn't be shared over the Web again.

But the WALL-E Forum Roleplay would live on, as a whole piece and not just in memory, and that was as well-done a job as Agent Peri could ask for.
