Eventually, extreme levels of infection in her body forced a reprint from an older state, resulting in significant memory loss. She lost memories of close friends like [[Nahema]] and [[Anita]].+During her time on Proteus, Zip died multiple times and was reprinted by the **NoA** (Network of Autonomous agents). Due to extreme levels of retroviral infection (Kharaa), she was eventually reprinted from an older backup state, resulting in significant memory loss. This amnesia was severe enough that she could not remember close friends like **Nahema** or **Anita**.  -Zip's [[Blackboxes|blackbox]] located in the [[Graveyard Caves]] contains the [[Kurul Level Access Key]], which is required to access a locked door in the [[Tadpole Pens]].+Her last recorded death occurred approximately 245,000 hours ago at the **Karakorum Metal Farms**, where she suffered a fatal electric shock from an **Axum** conduit she mistakenly believed to be inactive. She was reprinted following this incident, but her current whereabouts are unknown.   ## Blackboxes  +Zip has two known blackbox locations.
