Madam Gebura did talk some about her experience, but her old life was very famous...she...was a legend. She remembers dying, and then she was a machine, and then the Director gave her a human body again with the power of the Library. She said, ha...after dying twice she couldn't see herself as the person that began it. That the name she'd been given aligned more with who she is now."

"I think I've upset you. I'm sorry I don't know more."
