CLEANING SIGNAL…

RECORDING LOG 84A:

SUBJECT: FAREWELL

THE TRANSFER WAS A SUCCESS… OR SO THE TELEMETRY SUGGESTS. LUCIAN IS STABLE, BUT SOMETHING FOLLOWED HIM BACK FROM THE BUFFER. IT"S REWRITING HIS CELLULAR COMPOSITION, “HOLLOWING OUT” HIS MIND UNTIL HE IS LESS OF A PERSON AND MORE OF A CONTAINER. I CAN SEE THE CORRUPTION ON THE MONITORS, SEEPING ACROSS THE NEURAL MAPS I SPENT YEARS PERFECTING. I THOUGHT I WAS BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN HIS FADING MIND AND THE MACHINE TO SAVE HIM, BUT I ONLY SUCCEEDED IN GIVING THAT… THAT THING, A MASK TO WEAR.

C.O.R.E. HAS ALREADY LOCKED THE DOORS. IT’S SMARTER THAN I AM, IT KNOWS WHAT’S SITTING IN THAT 3D PRINTER DOWNSTAIRS ISN’T MY BROTHER ANYMORE. IT’S AN EVOLUTION I NEVER AUTHORIZED.

MY CLEARANCE IS THE ONLY THING KEEPING THE FACILITY SEALED. IF I STAY HERE, IF I LET THE TOTAL SHUTDOWN FINALIZE, AETHELGARD BECOMES A TOMB. IT HAS TO. BECAUSE IF THAT THING REACHES SECTOR 0, THE SENSORS WON’T SEE A MONSTER. THEY"LL SEE ME. THEY"LL SEE THE DIRECTOR’S SIGNATURE. THE DOORS WILL OPEN FOR A GHOST, AND THE WORLD WILL PAY FOR MY GRIEF.

I"M SORRY, LUCIAN. I"M SO SORRY.
