You realise the superiors you’ve always been loyal to are going to use you as an expendable scapegoat. How do you react?
Should anyone care to trace the signal, they’ll find it’s coming from a terminal within the main Nexus area…

[Make preparations for a quick, safe exit. If possible arrange things to make it appear either that you died, or that your superiors' attempt to lay blame is just that. Have several cover identities and safe-houses waiting.]

A pause. Unfortunately.

The Controller's clearly in a mood. She's lounging in her chair, feet up on the console just clear of the keys, and although se's speaking civilly, so far, she's making no attempt at the cool, controlled tone she maintains during negotiation sessions.

Chris frowns remembering that all too well she looks at one of the random terminals before typing in her response.

At one time I would have placed my well-being before anything, and anyone, else. My only loyalty was to myself, and such a situation would have been unacceptable. I would have found a way to escape it.
Now I suppose I can understand why one would stay, regardless of whether or not such an end was inevitable, but my own loyalties are far more... specific, one might say.

I still resent it. I never deluded myself that I was essential in the grand scheme of things, but this is... not how I would prefer to die. Even if I wanted to.
