There's a pause while the Soldier considers that. It wants to. It didn't hurt to do it. A technician fucked around in its head and found something good, rather than something bad. Why wouldn't it try again? If the technician is willing and offering, and there might be more memories locked up in there that could give it something to cling to on bad days?
Because each memory is a threat, too. Something that might reveal a name. A real life, as an actual person. A family. A bunch of people probably all dead, now, if the Soldier really is as old as they think.
But that feeling. It still wants to feel it again. So after wrestling for a long moment, it finally says, "Maybe one more. If it isn't hard for you."
