I love your icon also! I feel like anyone with an interest in ancient history who got a chance to talk to Andy would be thrilled but also find her enormously frustrating because she's forgotten so much stuff over the years, and the random things she does remember are delightful but not really helpful. Like, if you dragged her to the museum in Heraklion and showed her the bull-leaping fresco and were like "What was this actually all about?" she would be useless, but she'd see a cup in one of the other displays that would trigger a story about this woman she knew in Knossos who painted pottery, and no she doesn't remember what stage the palace was in at that point or how to read Linear A, that woman was just really good with her hands, okay, and Andy probably still has one of her cups tucked away in a safe house somewhere, no you cannot have it for your research.
