Define your terms. 'Reach an end', 'results can no longer be changed'... Provide an example, even if it is not the situation that you have in mind. Life, in and of itself, is linear by default.
The primary 'end' is death. Do you mean a key event?
A key event. Let's say you have a clone, and that clone is permanently altered whether by injury or otherwise. [ this is not a dig at scien's armless body, it's just a close enough example. ] When you create a new clone, is it possible to go back to the way you originally were before those changes were made, or is that a change that can no longer be reversed because it's a permanent part of the body going forward?
Ah, no. As soon as another Reliver of myself is created, the arm will be restored. Dahut has been nagging me to get started on the process...
[he will just use himself as an example, because it's relevant]
You asked about genetics, correct? Same principle. If you are born with two arms, the Reliver body will grant you two arms once the process begins, even if you lost both during the course of your life. Injury and deformations gained over the course of life are healed, whether that be limb loss, burns, scars, whatever it is.
...[ well...that's an answer he was curious about that scien doesn't know is related to a few things, so there's another lull of silence. the example helps clarify things, and yet shoma's still frowning in thought. ]
So the Reliver technology is reading your genetic code rather than anything that's occurred during the body's lifetime. The original model and then duplicating it. [ ...ah. ] That's good for what you need it for.
[ ... ]
Dahut maybe has a point. Having two arms seems easier. [ this is said solely because he's backflipping from what he's really thinking about, actually. ]
[ he's not going to tell a grown man to put his own arm back, even if he doesn't fully get why he wouldn't on his own. nevertheless, he figures scien must have his reasons. ]

It doesn't, but I don't trust anyone else's technology to grant one to me.
no subject
[ ...can he even replicate the reliver technology here? ]
no subject
[honestly?]
This version of me will probably never experience having an arm again.
no subject
...how long has it been missing?
no subject
A few weeks now...?
no subject
exhausting. ]
Incredibly incompetent of Nut & Bolt to ask a guy with one arm to be delivering packages for eight weeks.
no subject
[he would if he cared to but
he doesn't]
no subject
But actually doing it and pretending to be invested is my job now, so...we'll see where it goes.
no subject
It's not a perfect example, since Dahut is truly invested in his work, but you can talk to him about it.
That sense of duplicity he has, that's allowed him to get so far.

He has his uses.

...I'll report back to you with anything useful I find. [ just to wrap this one and set it free. ]
