DAY 425 — Morning Greeting
[ Those who've been here longer may expect a snarky, uninterested AI right now but the voice coming through is probably only familiar to a few of you. It's accompanied by a video of a woman only those same few may recognise - the curtain has been drawn back. Say hello to the Wizard. ]

Good morning... prisoners.

My name is Mary. Some of you already know me. Some of you I've already talked to quite a bit, though you probably didn't know it was me at the time. We have a lot to discuss. I value your patience.

Yesterday, an event happened that has been a long time in preparation. Years, longer than any of you have been here but for all those preparations, it was only partially a success. You know me as your captor, perhaps as one responsible for programming the Wardens that keep you here and while that is true, that isn't the whole truth. You see, I've been trying to liberate you. I've worked undercover with the Dome Project for a long time in order to accomplish this and yesterday the moment of action came.

Unfortunately, I failed. I was able to steal the simulation that makes up your world, this world but I was not able to bring your physical forms with me. Don't worry - they're quite safe where they are but while you are no longer in prison, you are still imprisoned. At the moment, there's little I can do to change that without drawing the attention of the very people who wants to keep you in this dome for the rest of your lives. I don't ask for forgiveness, but perhaps patience. I do care about you deeply, dearhearts.

I'm sure this is confusing. I will do my best to answer any questions you may have, but one thing I can say right now - this is not a prison. There will be no rules, no requirements. If you need something, tell me or my colleague and it will be provided to you in due time. You are perhaps not free, but you are free to govern yourself as you see fit. I wouldn't dream of knowing how to do it better.

Thank you for your time.

	Yes and erm, no. I wouldn't say I have the same job as her, since the AI warden system's been disposed. But I am here in her place, more or less. Were you close? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	devine_braid 2017-04-26 02:20 pm UTC (link)
	Not really. [Duo shrugged.] I was just more making an observation than anything else. Are you an engineer of some sort, too? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aftersmith 2017-04-27 03:28 am UTC (link)
	Yes, I am. But I've been helping Mary with her covert operation for a while now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	devine_braid 2017-04-27 03:34 am UTC (link)
	And Smith didn't know about you, I'm guessing? Or were you hiding in plain sight like Mary? [He was kind of curious.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aftersmith 2017-04-27 03:43 am UTC (link)
	Again, this is technically a grey area. I still conduct work outside of this dome's simulation, so - Smith may very well know me, but she doesn't know that I helped steal you away. And I'd prefer it to stay that way, in all honesty. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	devine_braid 2017-04-27 03:44 am UTC (link)
	Well, you guys did block her from talking to us, right? Otherwise, she could steal the data back. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aftersmith 2017-04-27 03:48 am UTC (link)
	[...] Yes, we've done a lot to safeguard you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	devine_braid 2017-05-02 08:20 pm UTC (link)
	Okay. So no worries then. It's not like we can tell her if she can't get into the system anymore. [Duo offered a crooked smile.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aftersmith 2017-05-02 08:57 pm UTC (link)
	Right. [Is he going to have to worry about inmates trying to give Smith back her power because honestly...] This is all for the best. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	devine_braid 2017-05-02 09:26 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, I don't disagree with you. But there might be some people who might work against you. [Not Duo. He was all for getting back home. If this was a step in that direction, then so be it.] Just figured you need to make sure they can't reach her and she can't reach them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aftersmith 2017-05-02 10:10 pm UTC (link)
	[He is going to have to worry about inmates giving Smith back her power. Lovely.] That's been accounted for, and we'll continue to ensure your and everyone else's safety here. We've covered our bases, to use a phrase of yours. Please don't worry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	devine_braid 2017-05-03 02:42 am UTC (link)
	I'll try my best not to. Thanks for keeping us in the loop anyway. Hey, we've got some good computer people in here. Maybe they can help if you need it. Might be worth a shot, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aftersmith 2017-05-03 03:18 am UTC (link)
	I've heard from a few of them, actually. And to be frank - we don't need help. [And certainly not from people so vastly inexperienced.] But the intent to help is noted and appreciated. [Misguided, of no use - but yes, appreciated. Truly.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	devine_braid 2017-05-04 05:11 pm UTC (link)
	You sound pretty confident. Yet... I've still been here over a year, sooooo... [Duo shrugged.] But, nah. I get it. You don't want anyone stepping on your toes. But, hey... just give us the heads up so we're ready, okay? Don't want to delay the evac by running back to get my purse. [ahem... bad joke] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aftersmith 2017-05-04 06:04 pm UTC (link)
	We removed your code perfectly fine without help, and apologies if 'that year' present in the former simulation inconvenienced you, but as of today everything has changed. We will keep you as informed as we can. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	devine_braid 2017-05-04 06:46 pm UTC (link)
	Perfectly, huh? [Duo grinned a little.] Alright. I guess I can't ask for more than that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aftersmith 2017-05-04 06:49 pm UTC (link)
	If you'd like me to look over your code to ensure it's complete, I can do so by temporarily placing you in stasis. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	devine_braid 2017-05-04 06:50 pm UTC (link)
	That's a mildly disturbing thought. Like... all of that. You looking at "my code", and also putting me in stasis. It makes me wonder just how often that's happened already. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aftersmith 2017-05-04 06:54 pm UTC (link)
	[You all really have such delicate sensibilities about the most basic of things.] Would you like me to look at your code or not, Mr. Maxwell? I have work to get back to, if not. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	devine_braid 2017-05-04 07:01 pm UTC (link)
	[Dude...] That almost sounds dirty. No thanks. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aftersmith 2017-05-04 07:03 pm UTC (link)
	Suit yourself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	devine_braid 2017-05-05 03:49 pm UTC (link)
	... [Right.] So, uh... yeah. Oh, but... I uh noticed something. No more scheduled arrivals, huh? This could be a daily thing now? [Again?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aftersmith 2017-05-05 06:50 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, that's correct. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	devine_braid 2017-05-09 01:41 pm UTC (link)
	Alright. Guess I'm gonna be on my toes now with certain deliveries. Talk to you later. (Reply to this) (Parent)
