Sitting alone at my monitor on the bridge of the Hovercraft Freedom I watch the code stream fall in shock and disbelief as I see one of our own, Rivall, sitting on a park bench beside another redpill who happens to be a Cypherite. I can see the mask in the code, no mistaking it. Many do not know that even when I'm not jacked in, I am always watching. Watching for threats to life and to The Daemon Contingency. I move to jack in and interrupt this meeting but stop cold, eyes still glued to the screen, begging to know, to understand why. I decide against the interruption because I still trust him. Rivall, what are you getting into here? What could you be getting us all into here? I still trust HIM.
I decide to send him a recorded transmission instead and pray I can summon the will power to mask my own anger, confusion and disbelief at what I just happened to witness by chance.
"Rivall, I saw you in that park with that Cypherite, whoever he was. Who he is does not matter to me, what was discussed and whatever could be going on does matter to me. Call it my need to know. I expect to be hearing from you, as in yesterday!"
