Day 440 - Morning Greeting
Hello, inmates. I have to extend a somewhat somber morning greeting for Day 440. I believe we've established ourselves to be as transparent as possible with you, and so I must let you all know that Sector 6 is no longer accessible. It and its contained inmates are no longer with us, due to an attack on us from the outside. You may be aware that you are precious data that we are trying to shield from the hands that once stole you, and to continue optimal running of this simulation we will be shutting down Sectors 1 and 5 tomorrow as a precaution. Please vacate these sectors in entirety by tomorrow morning, anything and everyone left behind will be voided. That action cannot be undone.

I apologize... for this unplanned upheaval. We lost... quite a few inmates today and are doing everything we can to ensure your safety.

[No jaunty tune.]

I should've, Mary. I knew more - I was still in the loop and could've picked up on it before it came here. [He spent more time in Sector 6 than anywhere else, a place where at times the guise was not even that necessary. But he wears it again, pale skinned and clammy from stress but she's warm. He walks into her embrace for the warmth of it, still lost in his own head but humans... maybe they have a few things they do right.]

You're right, you're right. We, ah. Have to work. Can't lose any others, not like this.

[ She envelopes him in this form she's made for herself, the essence of womanhood, motherly and warm and secure in every way because she thought that would make it easier to connect with humans and here she is, using it to connect with her partner in crime.

She holds him close, hand stroking his back. ]

No more. Jaden, I- I don't think we have a choice anymore. It has to be now.

[He's not sure how to reciprocate the hug all that well, his arm crooked around her and palm flat against her back. He stares off past her shoulder once she speaks, knowing just what she's talking about with a cold twist of his fake body's gut. He wants to protest but - they don't have many options. They barely have a few.]

I can talk to Cisco. Make a move on things by the next morning's greeting, maybe a little after that. It'd be dangerous, Mary. But we have no other choice.

	[ You're doing fine, sweetie. Just fine. ] It'll be fine. We've been through worse, haven't we? [ They haven't. ] Keep yourself safe first of all. If something happens- [ Well. She's taking the fall for it. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Nothing will happen. [He won't let you be in harm's way, Mary. He'll do whatever has to to cover for you - in this together now.] I'll get in contact with you as soon as I can. I can start right now, see what Cisco has to say and - from there we do what we do best. [Adapt. Survive.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alright. I'll keep things calm here in the meantime. [ She gives him a squeeze and then steps back from this too-long hug. ] You're doing good work. Don't forget that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You as well. [He runs his hands back idly through his hair for something to do with them, finding human fidgeting to make a lot more sense now.] Good luck with the inmates. [You know the ones.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, I'll take good care of them. Don't worry about that. (Reply to this) (Parent)
