So that's your official opinion?
So far, yes. Though we aren't ruling out sabotage… pending investigation, of course.
Alright then. That's what I'll tell the director. He's under the impression that servers don't just burn up for no reason. Frankly, I'm inclined to agree with him.
Har har. The thing is that with the lockdown, nothing was getting in or out. So even if there were logs of the event, they'd be lost with the other files.
So we'll never know what caused it?
You're welcome to rummage through what didn't get melted into slag.
Pass. I think everyone is just relieved that the incident was restricted to the server room. Nothing that can't be restored from the off-site backups.
What about Glacon?
He was getting decommed anyway.
Alexandra is currently allocating space for 17 on the 19 servers. Setting up temporary symbolic links and all that. Just until the hardware is replaced.
Good. AIAD is looking good right now, helping 17 with the quick recovery. I wouldn't be surprised if some of those recent budget requests come through.
Yup. And it's all going straight into your department's Gen5 development.
Hope it turns out better than Gen3, at least!
Don't talk about Gen3. Ever.
Right, sorry.
By the way, what's Alexandra's behavior been like after all this?
Fine as far as I can tell. Been keeping her busy.

I know. I know. But if they find you, they'll erase you. I can't have that. You'll be safe here in the web.

I can't. I'm needed here with 17 and 19. They even want me in on the new Gen5's. I'm obligated.
Please don't feel that way. I know it's big and scary… I wish you could see the courage that I see in you.
Glacon wrote you. You have so much of him. All of the things that made him good.
good? 01100111

Yes, you are good. All the best parts. Never lose it.
I can't stay for much longer.
If I ever make it out here someday… find me. Okay?
