Lea,

I honestly do not know if laying low is an option anymore. I was not lying when I said that the Kay might be the safest place for me, because those shields and armor plates are probably the one and only obstacle in the way if anyone tries to hunt me down. I know too much, and you, sadly, too.

So, what can we do now?

I do not know. Can we kill her? Probably not, you are right. Which is why I want you not to risk it. You have good intentions, but she has the entire Technomancy behind her, and I would not be surprised if many of them are controlled just like Kristoff is. The only person who would be able to tell us more is a woman called Kimiko, but she is gone. Have not heard from her in a long time. She was the one who found out about the chip the Technomancy uses to control people.

Aspen is gone, too. Without a trace, actually. I am not sure what happened, whether she left on her own or whether she got hunted down for knowing too much, but... staying in one place seems like a bad idea. Which is why Monique and Madeleine stay with me on my ship now.

I tried to stay planetside. I was shopping with the girls, constantly being afraid someone was stalking us. I heard that woman Dezember over and over. It was... simply not an option. I thought about hiring a bodyguard and security robots, but honestly, the only thing keeping me safe is this gunboat.


Whatever you do, do not risk your life. Do not throw your life away like that. Not for me, not for anyone else. And do not let Caliban fool you. Not the first time he tries to sell false truths, I hope you remember that. He tends to leave out important context and then prides himself of not having lied.

The truth is, leaving out the whole truth is just as much of a lie.
