Hi, everyone. I'm Catherine!

I've been talking to a few people about our mission, and I've been thinking... Do we have any ideas for how to restructure the government that don't require full-scale fighting? Like, if we could gather evidence of the corruption and expose it to the public, through, say... cyber espionage? It would at least give us more information, even if we don't go that route.

Reconnaissance is a good first step!

I'm not an expert in this, but I figure one of you is. So I want your thoughts! Or if you have experience hacking and want to teach me. It sounds like it would be easier to sneak in and put a physical receiver into one of their central systems, but in the spirit of keeping our options open, I might as well learn.

Even if doing it the manual way is going to be very slow.

Ha, ha. Don't worry, you'll always be my favorite chauffeur, Simon. Like I'm going to trust anyone else with my brain.

I am probably the best in the biz. I ran across the Atlantic with it and only dropped it a couple of times. Still good as new.



That was a joke, I never dropped it.

Trust me, I would've noticed if you did. It's almost spooky thinking you might have another copy of me sitting on that Omnitool... You said you didn't have any luck activating it?

[theseuschip]

No luck. Nowhere to hook it up to.
What do you want to do with it? I don’t want to activate it now, but it feels kind of weird to leave you sitting in my desk forever, even if it’s... another you.

Hm... maybe I should hold onto it? Having an extra cortex chip as a backup would be good, but I should check if I'm still on there first. Ugh, this is exactly what I didn't want happening.

[theseuschip]

What for? If one of your parts breaks, it’ll probably be something you can fix, right? Not your chip.

[ oh god, this “nice android body I have here... sure would be a shame if something were to..... happen to it” rollercoaster is Simon’s life now isn’t it ]

[arkproject]

If I can have an extra backup, why wouldn't I?

I'd suggest you do it, too, but you'd probably freak out.

[theseuschip]

Yeah, I’m gonna pass.
