The Computers

In the room below the Incubator room, you'll find a second learning machine that can be used to teach the Norn to associate words with feelings and qualifiers. This is very useful, as it will allow your Norn to tell you how she actually feels.

The table below lists all of the various concepts you can teach your Norn and what they mean:

Remember that once you have taught one Norn how to speak, other Norns will pick up new words simply by listening! So teach one well, and it will teach a lot of the others.

Useful tip!

"What" is very, very useful! You can find out what your Norn is thinking and why!
