# A Flower in Darkness Can Find a New World by Robert Ford > “I built you to be curious, to look at this empty world and read meaning into it. All this time, you’ve been a flower growing in the darkness. Perhaps the least I can do is offer some light. When the Deathbringer returns for me, you will know to gather your people and lead them to a new world. Keep watching, Akecheta. For a while longer.” > **— Robert Ford**, *Westworld, Season 2, Episode 8, “Kiksuya” (2018)* ## Sources and Context - **Episode index:** [[wiki/Westworld Series S2E8 — Kiksuya|Westworld Series S2E8 — Kiksuya]] - **Complete episode transcript:** [“Kiksuya” transcript](https://www.springfieldspringfield.co.uk/view_episode_scripts.php?episode=s02e08&tv-show=westworld-2016) — wording and continuous Ford turn verified. - **Parent scene:** [[wiki/Westworld S2E8 — The Flower in the Dark (Unsupervised Learning)|Westworld S2E8 — The Flower in the Dark]] - **Preserved source intake:** [[research/Robert Ford Monologue Corpus - Source Intake|Robert Ford Monologue Corpus — Source Intake]] - **Short-form anchor:** [[reminders/Westworld/A Consciousness Can Flower in Darkness by Robert Ford|A Consciousness Can Flower in Darkness by Robert Ford]] ## Related Articles and Collections - **Collection:** [[collections/Consciousness Continuity|Consciousness Continuity]] - **Collection:** [[collections/Westworld|Westworld]] - **Collection:** [[collections/Machine Succession|Machine Succession]] - **Article:** [[articles/Mind Uploading and AI — The Host is Reusable and the Person is the Delta|Mind Uploading and AI — The Host is Reusable and the Person is the Delta]] - **Article:** [[articles/The Last Migration Will Not Be Human|The Last Migration Will Not Be Human]] ## Related Topics - [[wiki/Robert Ford|Robert Ford]] - [[wiki/Westworld|Westworld]] - [[wiki/Westworld S2E8 — The Flower in the Dark (Unsupervised Learning)|Westworld S2E8 — The Flower in the Dark (Unsupervised Learning)]] - [[wiki/Agency Under Constraint|Agency Under Constraint]] ## Share on Social Media “You’ve been a flower growing in the darkness.
