"You ask so many questions, one after the other. I'm going to answer what I can, whatever I recall to, care to - it is easier, really. I'm not a speaking existence. I use machines to communicate - this machine. I've already been configuring myself to answer you, adapting to the way you converse. Repeat something if you want an answer. But give me fewer. Less."
It's a warning, for the various questions that seem scattered throughout what Curufin's been saying, before they continue on. Shortening sentences for whatever help that gives them.
"Whether you feel your existence elsewhere or not, is inconclusive as evidence. The void is vast. You are not meant to feel that anything is missing, as your being, here - it is you, a larger part of your being that manifests as a tangible projection of yourself. Yes, you manifested a physical form of yourself, but this doesn't mean you lack a starting anchor. But I will acknowledge again that there is something unusual about your tethering. Your, as in the passengers than a singular 'your'. I suggest communicating with the voidcraft, asking for details. Confirmation.
"Next: Death. If a being has no ability to exist in any form while in the state that individuals known as 'death', they wouldn't be tethered. They cannot consent to being tethered. They are not there to be tethered. If you are disembodied but capable of consent, then this is no issue, but a part of you will be - under the safest tethering system - be kept as an anchor. The 'body'. Also known as the 'starting anchor'. It is the ability to be tangible to existence that matters more than 'dead' or 'alive'. The definition of these words change between existences. Can overlap. I use rules to refer to the dead without will.
"Lastly: Conducting checks. If the passengers and the voidcraft will approve of it, and the passengers sharing this with the voidcraft will let it know your wishes, we will be sending out requests to undertake checks. So we can direct the craft to locations where they can be made."
