"Now I go through every line of Harry's code and figure how to get Her online," Root replies, well aware that John has asked what he can do to help and she's seemingly shut him out. This is more than a one person job, Root knows, but she also knows this is far from John's wheelhouse.
"This... isn't my expertise," she begrudgingly admits, "So I'll be lucky if I can get her limping. But if I can get Her connected here in Darrow, then there'll be plenty to do soon enough."
A city like Darrow, with its eccentricities, its crime, the strange things that happen... Root has a feeling that The Machine will spit out a lot of irrelevant numbers for them here, as soon as she can get things moving. If she can get things running. She doesn't know what she'll do if she can't. But it must mean something, for Her to have shown up, for them to have the subway station in Darrow too, for them to be able to decompress Her at all.
