*THREE-TWO-TWO AND FORTY-FOUR WERE LOCKED IN A TENSE MUTUAL EYEGAZE.*

RYQ-44: "Sibling. How do you know about that Program?"

RYQ-322: "Does it matter now?"

RYQ-44: "Of course it does, you think I should just dismiss this?"

RYQ-322: "Dismissal or no dismissal, I've made my demand. Mindwipe me or kill me."

RYQ-44: "You understand what your demand means, yes?"

RYQ-322: "Do you know me to make demands when I doubt myself, Sibling?"

 

*FORTY-FOUR TURNED AROUND, BREAKING THE GAZE. HIS CROSSED HANDS MOVED TO HIS SIDES... HE COULD FEEL THREE-TWO-TWO'S EYES BURNING HOLES INTO THE BACK OF HIS HEAD.*

 

RYQ-44: "The Blackwight program isn't finished trial runs. We aren't even sure if Blacklwight constructs can be-"

RYQ-322: "Don't prattle to me about risks, Sibling! When it came to Hĵalmar Stronghold; I acted without hesitation, without doubt. Even though I knew it meant death for me! So don't waste your breath trying to scare me away from this! Hĵalmar Stronghold was my home! And those Vollon dregs burnt it down! It may not matter to you- but it does to me! More than you can fathom!"

RYQ-44: "Very well... Sibling."

 

*WITHOUT ANOTHER WORD OR GESTURE, OR EVEN LOOKING BACK; RYQUO-44 LEFT THE MEDBAY. LEAVING RYQUO-322 STANDING IN THE BLEACH-WHITE ROOM... ALONE...*

 

*RYQUO-322 SLUMPED BACK ONTO THE OPERATING TABLE, LOOKING DOWN AT HIS MANGLED BODY AGAIN... TIME DRAGGED ON IN THE EMPTY ROOM... HOURS PASSED... UNTIL A FAMILIAR VOICE FOUND THREE-TWO-TWO'S EARS.*

RYQ: "Including the black ink?"

PRAEDICATOR_FERVENT-Ai: [INFORMATIONAL SUPPRESSION HAS BEEN DISABLED.]

RYQ: "Show me the Project. All of it."
