#418 The Cracked Memory Module
Short description
Take the find to Prada the blacksmith in the city
Description
The plate is heavier than it looks, and warm — as if it had just been pulled from a working machine.
Half the casing is split open and baked sand trickles from the crack. Along the top edge runs an etched marking, worn almost flat; it takes you three tries to read it:

Completion text
Wait, wait. Give it here.
Prada turns the plate under the lamp, rubs the soot off the top edge with her thumb, and suddenly goes quiet.
This isn't a programmer, {name}. A programmer tells iron what to do. This is memory. What's written here is what the iron has already done.
That's what I've been missing! I write him commands and he runs them like it's the first time he's ever lived, from nothing, every time. No wonder — he's got nothing to remember with.
The module's cracked, sure, but now I've got the programmer — the one you hauled back to me. I'll read off what I can and pour it into that lump of mine.
Right. Stand where you are and don't touch anything.
