Okay.

I did what I needed to, to ensure you and many others remained alive. To make sure you're safe.

Ames? Are you insane? They didn't have the amenities to properly heal you, to repair your augments. And I do not know why you think I was trying to knock you out. I merely applied a painkiller because your injuries were going to cause grevious pain for the movement. You were being followed, and I had to prevent you from getting even more hurt by relocating to a place where you could be healed. So what, you wanted me to abandon you? Leave you where the SENTINELS ARE CONCENTRATED THE MOST? RIGHT AT THEIR DOORSTEP?!?

Unbelievable. Levan doesn't know how to protect you, and only wants your body. Caliban wants to use you. Harper is clinging to you, obsessed, alone, her desperation being utilised by him to ensure that she doesn't lose you either.

I have never insulted you. This is your mind playing tricks on you, your insecurities swallowing you. You have been corrupted by them. They want you to feel weak, to be vulnerable so they can form you to their desires.


I told you Lazurith.

If you believe I am a liar, if I am wrong, if YOU think I AM but a pawn of Harbinger. Come to me, and shoot me. You're more than welcome to try alone. You and I.

But fine.

I'll just repeat myself what I told you in my chambers the few nights ago.

Leave and go play with this idea that you know better. I'm tired of trying to keep others safe only to get spat back into my face.

Go on. Go do your own thing. Become the plaything of others. I told you I'd leave you alone after that talk. Unlike them, I keep to my words.

And do not believe that being the Key will grant you immunity from the consequences of action, should you have any temptation to try something immeasurably stupid as an act of 'revenge'. My will is vastly more durable than Harbinger's assertion for control. I will kill you if you dare to try to hurt any friends or family. I do not care if I die for it. I value everyone's survival over His plans.

My will is absolute and my devotion is unwavering, I will not be bent to another's desire.

On another note, if you do happen to stop by on Baden Baden, they are making these truly delicious limited time edition Apple-Fritters.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have work to do. Stay out of my way and you will be left alone.
