day 10 | ciel
[ there's a sheet of paper tucked into the groove along the door to the overseer's room, across the hall from judy's core where rhys has spent most of the day. it wasn't there earlier, even when rhys gave his vote from ciel's terminal, but it'll be there when rhys is finally downstairs in the courtroom.
it's a letter and the handwriting is, of course, rhys'. ]
Hey Ciel,
Remember when I said that thing about reprogramming the ankle monitors? That I could make it if they voted for me, Bigby's monitor would be shocked instead. So, I did that but a little differently. If they vote for you, the shocks will be sent to my monitor. I didn't turn it off.
See, I'm not going to let you die, kid. You've been working this entire time for a solution out of this experiment and I have to admire that. I got blinded, by Jack, by the other staff members, by my own paranoia. Even by Judy to an extent. I really thought what I was doing was right, even when I killed all those people. You? You didn't kill anyone, no matter how much I egged you on. You didn't play the game one bit, even sacrificing your mobility in the process.
So, if this goes like I think it might go and they're stupid enough to really believe killing the Overseer is the answer to all their problems, I'm going to buy you a bit more time. I'll die, you survive and you figure something out. You probably know about my plan by now, the DDoS attack? I got the idea when Judy moved her brain to her chassis. We just need a disconnect, you know? She doesn't manage the biosensors so taking her out is kind of irrelevant. I promised her sentience and I think I can do that even if I'm dead. If she changes me into data, there's nothing stopping her from taking the information in my head on how to change her code for herself, right? Then Judy can decide what she wants after that.
Run the attack. Turn the power off. Get everyone out. Then the power will come back on and Judy won't be any different than she was before. We can deal with her on our own, internally. She won't be alone if she has us. Talk to Angel too, she's better at this than me. I told you that originally. She might reach out to you via the terminal so look out for that. I really hope she does.
This does mean the dead will be offline for an hour as the attack runs and if we're not able to talk before that, this is my goodbye? I guess?
Please get out of here. Please survive. You're a great, great kid and you shouldn't have to die like this in here. Even if there's nothing out there, I know you'd prefer to find out what actually is. So do it, do your best. See what happens. And hey, if it's ever safe enough to come back, come say hi.
We're not going anywhere anyway.
See you later,
Rhys Marten
