Chapter 1

If you haven't read the original Day in the Life fic, here it is. You should probably read that first.
This is just a continuation of that idea, only post-The Red Queen. This is your final warning that the below contains MASSIVE spoilers for The Red Queen!
Many MANY thanks go to Emi for betaing this monstrosity.

Welcome to the Network, Sentinel. I have looked forward to “meeting” you for a very long time!
A lot of people will be excited to finally be able to reconnect with Elspeth and hear her stories first-hand. What time is it over there? Can you give her a nudge?

User Dell; I have attempted to rouse User Elspeth and she has commanded me rather forcefully to snooze. I am required to leave her for 10 minutes until I try again.
Time is neither measured nor marked by the inhabitants of Eden, a decree which I am learning to accustom myself to. But, according to the position of the sun, I would estimate that it is noon.

Ines assures me the lag has been fixed, but I'm tied up with server duties until 6am Sutrium Standard Time at this point. So, who’s up for “guild merge” (heh) then?
I'm sure if we can get the whole guild online at the same time we'll be able to take Lord Kri out for good, this time.
Last night's attempt was a little woeful :(

Greetings, Mr Seraphim! Long time no hear.
Welcome to the Network.
I trust all is well with you and Ms Gordie. Tell her we miss her!

Here are a list of email addresses you might find useful as you come to grips with the new system:
-email-"+"@"+"";self.close();' onmouseover='window.status="mai"+"lto:"+"-email-"+"@"+""; return true;' onmouseout='window.status="";return true;'>-email-©
-email-";self.close();' onmouseover='window.status="mai"+"lto:"+"-email-"; return true;' onmouseout='window.status="";return true;'>-email-
-email-"+"@"+"";self.close();' onmouseover='window.status="mai"+"lto:"+"-email-"+"@"+""; return true;' onmouseout='window.status="";return true;'>-email-©
-email-";self.close();' onmouseover='window.status="mai"+"lto:"+"-email-"; return true;' onmouseout='window.status="";return true;'>-email-
-email-";self.close();' onmouseover='window.status="mai"+"lto:"+"-email-"; return true;' onmouseout='window.status="";return true;'>-email-
-email-"+"@"+"";self.close();' onmouseover='window.status="mai"+"lto:"+"-email-"+"@"+""; return true;' onmouseout='window.status="";return true;'>-email-© or -email-"+"@"+"";self.close();' onmouseover='window.status="mai"+"lto:"+"-email-"+"@"+""; return true;' onmouseout='window.status="";return true;'>-email-© – both will reach him.

Should you wish to contact anyone else, you can find out their address quite easily; type their name, and add the domain relevant to their locale. If you are unsure of where somebody is currently located, message the System for the region you think they’re in and ask.
We have several Systems online throughout the Land and Sador, and are actively working on adding Redport (Bot) and Norseland (Loki) to the Network as well.
The active Systems and domains are:
Sentinel at Eden - your network - eden.frb
Ines at Oldhaven - my network - oldhaven.ws.co
Elf at Obernewtyn - obernewtyn.net
Lazio at Sutrium - sutrium.ea.co
Merlin at Newrome - newrome.tor
Hope at Saithwold - saithwold.ea.co
Gamma at Sador - sador.tp
Thor at Fallo - fallo.hi

Any questions, ask your personal technical support officer, Sentinel.

Regards,
Dell

subject: From one Master of Obernewtyn to another


Greetings, Gevan, from Eden.

The Sentinel told me that you were voted in as Chieftain of Obernewtyn Shire this season. Congratulations!
Should you need to ask any advice of one who held the position for many years, don't hesitate to email me. I remember well how demanding it is, and it must truly be overwhelming for you to have to step forward and assume such a prestigious title. The whole of Obernewtyn is a huge responsibility; you may wish yourself back as Coercer Guildmaster after a sevenday!

But seriously. Feel free to send me anything you want to run by someone who was on the job for years. I don't mind, I am happy for you to pick my brain. I imagine the beasts have been none-to-happy about email becoming a prominent form of communication again.

Your friend,
Rushton Seraphim
Former Master of Obernewtyn

Reul get over it – we don't point axes at anyone in this guild.
Zadia – a thing? Could your 'thing' not just join us? It's been a while since Yokan logged on and we could use his rogue in the battle.
We could reschedule for 9am SST if that better suits you?

subject: Hi Dameon,


Greetings from Eden. I take it from your email address that you have taken up a residence in Sutrium? How did that happen?
Pleasantries aside, I have never been in greater need of your counsel. Elspeth is not talking to me and I can't beastspeak anyone here to ask what is wrong. Sentinel advises me that Elspeth's door is locked when I try to ask her and while I keep knocking, she will not let me enter.
My presence at Eden has been tolerated only because of Elspeth's. The raptors have been circling my head ominously whenever I walk on the plains and I feel as though my days here are numbered.
You were always able to reach her. Can you talk to her for me?

Miss you.
~ R

Ha, if only Yokan were the thing. Can't do 9am either. Thor is attempting to connect to Loki on Norseland again today, and if successful I'll have to be on deck to facilitate the data transfers.
Unless anything breaks, I could do noon, your time (I think)?

Seely's shopping in Templeport all day and the glows are doing what they do best; eating toxic waste. Gamma completed her maintenance yesterday which should help with the lag, too, so BRING IT ON.
It wasn't MY fault that your axe ran out of enchantment three seconds into battle, Reul, but hey, I wasn't going to bring it up.

Oddly enough, that does not comfort me. But perhaps I must trust you, and not my vague premonitions for once, since your predictions are based on data projection and logical analysis and not mindstream bubbles.
Please continue to run the upgrade, but standby to reformat. I am wary of the upgrade overwriting boot sector files if Bot's system is as old as I think it is. If this occurs, reformat Bot immediately.

Hi lovey,
Timmi's keeping me awake. I haven't heard from you about next week? Ceirwan is at the big house most days, so we should have the cottage to ourselves – I'll make sangria! Ceir and some of the lads set up a sandpit and swing yesterday, so if the rain ever stops we'll be able to have a picnic and let the little ones wear themselves out.
How goes things with little Saresh? How are you? Not missing Dardelan too much, I hope?

Thank you. At welcome screen, please name Bot something else, NOT Bot. Something less ominous. I'll leave the actual naming to you.
And - sorry, did you just say that Elspeth's awake? She must be busy, you can stop nudging her. She'll do so as soon as she's free. Hopefully by the time her friends in the Land wake properly she'll have made contact.

subject: RE: From one Master of Obernewtyn to another


Greetings, Rushton!
I am both surprised and elated to hear from you! I thought that Sentinel would have activated your network a long time ago, we were all quite surprised when the seasons flew by and nobody at Eden made contact. How is Elspeth! We all miss her so much.

Thank you for your kind words and congratulations, that means a lot to me. I have to admit, I was rather chuffed when the folk voted me in as Chieftain for a third term. You're right, the demands are high, but between Linnet and I, and guildmerge, we have managed to meet each challenge presented to us.

This email system, for example, and the problem with excluding the beasts, as you mentioned? So simple, ere the end. Dameon thought of it, doubtless from his experiences in Midland. We were rather astonished when he started talking to Elf, in the teknoguild caves one day. Prior to that, Reul had instructed us to only issue commands using keys, insisting that Elf wasn't like Oldhaven's Ines in that way. He was, for the first time in his life I’d wager, lost for a comeback when Dameon, of all people, activated her voice command protocols.
I digress. So, Dameon started talking to Elf, and Elf started talking back. Things started progressing very quickly, because the Network has what is called “dictation” software. All Elf needed was to have a language input by a few of the beast and beastspeaking guildmembers, and she coupled together a system that would include them. They don't even need to type on these blasted keyboards to make words appear! I envy them that, because no matter how I try, when I use the dictation option, I am usually misinterpreted horrendously when the words appear on the screen. Won't make that mistake again!

Anyway I'm sorry – I'm blathering on about business that must be incredibly boring to you. Blame the early hour! But tell me all about your time in Eden! Any babies on the horizon, now you two have had a chance to spend some quality time together?

All the best,
Gevan

Team,
I've committed the latest update to the Community project; it includes the ability for Users to both submit and review their peers creative endeavours. It needs QA. To test I've submitted a little piece of speculative nonsense I put together in the wee hours this morning – you should receive an alert about it shortly.
The intended workflow of this particular module is that you are emailed automatically when a User you follow has submitted something new, you proceed to the Community wall at your earliest convenience, then read and review.
Let me know your thoughts. Better still, leave a review, and we'll see if that part of the module works in practise.

Hi Freya,
Dardelan has been delayed on Norseland and doesn't return to Sutrium for at least three sevendays. I've altered our plans so we travel there first as whether he thinks so or not, I believe it's important that he spends more than a day with his daughter before she turns one.
Can we reschedule for some time next month? Or will the pass be closed off by then?

Hello Dell!
We have never met, but I have heard much about you and envy your position as Chieftain of Oldhaven and the wonders of living with Ines.
I just wanted to take the time to email you and thank you for your part in connecting Redport to the Network. Bunny is lovely and I am already setting up systems for the Queen and Matthew. Brydda is eager to contact his parents, also – I assume they can be reached via Obernewtyn's domain?
Should you have need of anything in Redport, don't hesitate to contact me!
Warmly,
Ana

Dameon! Elspeth! We can talk again!
How are you both?
Redport is hot but that's not unusual. Dragon activating the bloody heart fires every second day doesn't help, but it gets such a reaction out of everybody that she can't help herself. Bless her wee heart for wanting to make people happy.
The Palace is coming along nicely – I wish you could both see it. We're planning a housewarming of sorts when it opens, next Spring – will you both come? Please? You've both been so important to Dragon and you would be so proud of how she shines...

Would love to have a reunion, a PROPER reunion, with no prophetic quests or civil wars to get in the way. The original trio, back together sitting under a tree laughing at how surly and broody Rushton is being.
Oh – how is Rushton, Elspeth?

Missing you both,
Matthew

To my beautiful bridesmaids,

Just a little reminder to you wonderful ladies that dress fittings will be at Morgan's in Darthnor at 10am tomorrow. The shop is in the main square next to the General store. If you leave it until 8am to depart from Obernewtyn, you will not make it, so let me know now if you can't and I'll find a replacement bridesmaid who can.

This is the last fitting that has been scheduled prior to my special day to Zarak and so to make sure that our dresses still fit on the day I'm requesting that you all discuss nutrition and diet plans with Javo. The diet plan I've set up with him includes no caffeine, sugar or carbs. It won't be forever, so I don't want to hear your complaining.

Love you all,
Lina

Oh Matthew, this is such pleasant news to wake to, even if it is obscenely early on my side of the world. My two dearest friends back within reach, and on the same day. When Lazio, the Sutrium System, read your email to me, I wept. Now if only you had typed it with a Highland accent!

I would be honoured to attend Dragon's house warming when the palace has been completed – though I wager that “house warming” will be too timid a term for the grand event she is likely to plan! I shall rely on you, until then, to describe all that is going on in Redport in your own remarkable way.
I am also extremely pleased by the undertone to your email suggesting that you and Dragon have come to an understanding with one another.

I am well, thank you for asking. I reside mostly in Sutrium these days, though I travel to Oldhaven and Obernewtyn when time permits. The city is rather beautiful in it's own chaotic way, particularly under Dardelan's charter.

I shall have to continue this email another time, as I've been advised that Faraf has arrived. Duty calls – I will tell you about why I am in Sutrium in another email.

Elspeth; I hope you are keeping well, also. I take it that if Sentinel is online, we will be able to use her to connect to God and free Tash and Habitat directly.

Your friend,
Dameon

How is the tribe? You should visit Eden some time, the doors are always open to beasts...man...man beasts...whatever, and we could run around the plains like days of old, when everything was so much simpler.

User Dell; User Elspeth has just relieved herself, perhaps you would like to attempt to make direct contact via email to her? My records indicate this is usually when humans are most likely to check their messages.

Hey Big G,
I think the module will be a great addition, once the base system has been made live. But one tiny suggestion. It might be prudent to add a content rating system to creative submissions. Confirmation that the User is over a certain age, for example.
Aside from that, I am looking forward to reading more of this marvellous story you have magicked out of thin air!

Dear Dell, I would love to stay for a time with you at Oldhaven, when I return.
I was talking to Bunny while I was setting up an email for Brydda to send and she mentioned that there's been no connection made to God in Midland yet?

Can our resources not be pooled to make this happen faster? Freeing Tash and the residents of Habitat was something we were all determined to do once Elspeth's Quest was completed, if it were at all possible. Once God is online, she can also access the government database and synthesise the cure to Miryum's unfortunate disease. I am sure Elspeth would agree to any down time between other networks if it meant fulfilling our promises.
My thought is that seeing as Bunny was once Bot and could connect to the Moon, once the authorisation is sent from Sentinel, the signal distance to Midland should be, as Garth was fond of saying, easy as pie.

Mmm, pie.
Warmly,
Ana

Freya you've reminded me, I wanted to talk to you privately about something, if you don't mind. It might be a touchy subject, but I know that our special friendship allows for me to be frank and honest with you.

Hair. I noticed last time you were at the farms that you decided to chop most of your hair off, in Lowland fashion. Why did you chop off those beautiful curls? They would have looked so lovely with the dress and I don't know where the flower arrangement will cling to now. Why didn't you consult me about this before you cut it off? You know how important this day is to me.

Love and kisses,
Lina

Ana, that is a very good idea. My premonition that we would become good friends was right – I like the way you think. Perhaps by Sentinel, Bunny and Ines' powers combined, we will be able to reach God. If necessary I'll link in a few of the other Land systems; Elf at the teknoguild caves might be worth commandeering, as much as Reul will chuck a fit if his network is down for any period of time.

I shall attempt to make contact with Elspeth next, not only because freeing those in Habitat and curing Miryum was important to her, but also because Sentinel is key to this, and we may require User input from her end. Elspeth is proving to be quite elusive today, of all days, so if I can't make contact with her, I can override her input and deal directly with Sentinel. I think.
This is important to everybody, I'm sure she won't mind.

Dear Elspeth, it is so wonderful to finally be able to reach out to you. Your Sentinel is a wonder; no sooner had Dell and Ines established contact with her, Sentinel managed to activate the system in Redport for us. We're no longer cut off from the Land! I've been chatting to both Dell and Fian this morning, and my heart longs for the mountains. I can't wait to take little Garth there, to meet big Garth and the rest of the teknoguild. I do not look forward to meeting with Swallow's sister to tell her of his fate, as my heart still grieves his loss. But I promised I would do this thing, so I will find the courage to speak of him to her.

How do you fare in Eden? Has Dell contacted you about using Sentinel to bounce a signal around and activate God at Midland?
Love,
Ana

subject: Hello!


Elspeth, welcome to the Network! I hope I haven't caught you at a bad time.
We are very excited about Sentinel's addition to the Network, not only because it means we can talk to you again but also because the Network now has access to a government system! And I'm sure you remember what that means – that finally we will be able to connect to Pellmar Quadrants God System and instruct it to release those in Habitat and cure Miryum.
Ana had an idea that we could use the system at Redport, Ines here at Oldhaven, and Sentinel herself, to transmit the signal. Sort of like Aras' whiplash farseeking technique, from what I remember being told of it. Sentinel can send the command to Bunny (don't ask) in Redport; Bunny can forward the signal to the Moon and when it transmits back down we can intercept at Oldhaven and send up to Midland. If we don't have the range, I can “whiplash” along the Network via the system at the teknoguild caves – which has been called Elf, in your honour :)
Let us know what you think and when you're ready to try it – sorry if this sounds confusing.
Regards,
Dell

Fian, so much has happened! Little Garth (does that help?) and I are official guests of the Red Queen – which residence-wise means little until the Rainbow Palace (yes, she is intent on calling it this) is completed. For now, we are living with Brydda, who misses his parents terribly and we plan to set sail to the Land after Garth's first birthday. Reuvan tells us if we wait until then, the long journey should be easier for him (and us).
Although, I just had a thought! If we managed to connect to the Midland system, perhaps God can fix and send us a glide, and we can come home sooner! Or maybe Sentinel knows where more working glides are? I shall ask around next.

Enough about me, tell me everything that's been happening at Newrome and Obernewtyn!
Kisses,
Ana

Dear Katlyn, you know that my final dress fittings are scheduled for tomorrow.

He'll distract everybody and I want all of my bridesmaids AND Morgan to be on top form tomorrow.
Would you be able to mind him? Maybe if you suggest it to Freya, like it was your idea all along?

Also; wigs. Do you know where we can get one for Freya? She's chopped her lovely curls off. Can't believe she did this to me!

Are there any workable glides at the Eden facility? If yes, might one be dispatched to Redport, to transport myself and two or three passengers to the Land safely?

But if you can love the city and see hope for it then anyone could love it. Just...promise me you won't work too hard, Dameon. You never could say no to anybody.

Nothing yet from Elspeth. I suggest we bypass her and deal directly with Sentinel. Her systems are far evolved beyond Ines and Bunny's so perhaps she no longer requires User input to the extent that our systems do.

subject: Well isn't this a nice surprise


Greetings Elspeth!
Zarak, Aras and I have just gathered in my room for a guild meeting, and what should I see awaiting us in my inbox? A notification from Dell that you're now a part of this amazing Network that she and her people have been setting up all over the world.
It is such a relief to us that you are all right, even if you are a long way away! Dameon was at Obernewtyn for a time after he returned to the Land and while he told us what he knew, nobody was certain of what happened to you after you left Redport. Though Maryon insisted that you were fine and we were worrying over nothing.

You would be so proud of what the Farseekers guild has become, Elspeth. While the long-distance communication is left to the Network, our lovely little guild continues to train new farseekers as it always has done.

But our most recent efforts are those which I am most proud of. It was Aras' idea – yes, most of our guild's brilliant ideas still come from her.
I'll try to cut a long story short, but no promises, as it is worth it. Instead of rescuing talents, which is no longer necessary, we have placed farseeker guild delegates within all of the Orphanhome systems in the Lowlands. They're in place to raise awareness of misfit abilities and reach out to children who are feeling alone, to assure them that they are not. Instead of anyone who has Talent needing to make the journey to Obernewtyn, they can simply turn up to one of the Orphanhomes to learn more about their skills, and will be offered training in exchange for billeting one (or more) of the orphans within the system for a time. In this way, we are able to ensure that Orphanhomes aren't ignored by the community, which gives the children within the system such hope. They are more like community schools than simply buildings housing orphans, now. The system has been in place for almost a year, and the periods of foster care have more often than not lead to permanent adoption.
Knowing that you were once part of the system yourself, I know you would be proud of what we have achieved.

I had better go – so much to organise. Zarak and Aras say hi, and will undoubtedly email you themselves once they have a chance.
Oh, Zarak is asking if you can come to his bonding ceremony. After you left Obernewtyn they both decided to prolong their engagement, and there was really too much going on at Obernewtyn at the time for Lina to have the big day that she envisaged. It's in two sevenday's time, so I've told him that it's far too short a notice! He knows it, but he wanted me to ask you anyway.

All our love,
Ceirwan

PS: you know that Freya and I have had a little boy, don't you? His name is Timmi :)

Rushton,

Hahaha, your time in Eden has given you wit. Or, was it the holiday before Eden that did it, on that strange island that some of the futuretellers saw you on?
Either way, I’m glad that you have had a chance now to see the funny side of life.
What exactly happened on that strange island, by the way? It sounded so confusing in the futureteller retellings.

Naturally you jest; coercion is actually of little use in this role. And yes, Dameon has been invaluable and taught us much about the series of Systems scattered throughout the Land. He spends more time away from Obernewtyn than any of us would like, but the work he does is important.

Has he made contact with you yet? Don’t read too much into his lack of immediate response, he is Cheiftain of Sutrium after all, in Dardelan’s stead, while Dardelan is helping out on Norseland. Things are still not as peaceful there as we would like.
I don’t envy either of them their jobs, to be honest, Sutrium always gave me the heebie-jeebies. I’ve got it easy by comparison.

Happy to hear that Elspeth is doing well, though I noticed you evaded my question about children - sly dog.
Have to go - guildmerge in 25 minutes and Linnet asked me to have breakfast with her before then.
And more on that unexpected development later.

Regards,
Gevan

God, please:
Release the Speci from the Habitat program.
Download any files required from Sentinel to synthesise a cure for Patient Miryum and any other Patients being held in cryogenics.
Administer synthesised cures and release Patients from cryogenics.
Commence waking all remaining healthy cryogenic subjects and release also.

Tash – if any of this is confusing, let me know and I can explain further. It is a pleasure to finally “meet” you.

God, please commence repairs on these “glides” you speak of, in case they are necessary in the future.
But for now, the Speci – my people - they will not know what is happening. Please have them assemble in the Hub. I shall meet them there shortly with Unit A and start explaining everything.
Until each Speci decides what they would like to do with their life now they are free, please arrange accommodation for them in Midland.

I am sorry for the briefness of my reply, but what Gevan told you is correct and I have another meeting in 20 minutes. I must email Matthew as well, before then. I promise I will answer your other emails later.

Matthew, please never type Highlandish again. Indeed it HAS given me quite a headache.

I am very pleased to hear you confirm that things are repaired between you and Dragon. There is little in life that honest and true love cannot do, when mutual trust has time to flourish.

I believe Elspeth may not be replying because you have written to both of us, and she and I did not part on particularly stable terms.

You deserve an explanation, as much as I deserve to be judged by you and her for my actions. However I do not wish to relive the details of a moment I am not proud of over email. Perhaps I shall confide the entirety to you when I visit next so that you can understand better.
But, doubtless Elspeth's time in Eden has allowed her, as time has allowed me, to realise that she is within her rights to never speak to me again, even indirectly through cc.

My heart laments the loss of her friendship, and while I have found peace by committing myself to the Land, people and beasts both she and Rushton cared so much about while they resided among us, I cannot hold onto the hope that she will ever forgive me for what I did.

This is my long-winded way of saying; try email her without ccing me. I screwed up.
Your friend,
Dameon

Understood, User Dell.
Temporary disabling of Netflix has been completed.
I anticipate User Elspeth will begin replying to her emails in approximately 81 seconds.

Hi Dameon,
God tracked down your email address for me. I should probably apologise to you, Ana, Swallow and Dragon for messing things up in Habitat.
What’s Sutrium? Is it nice? God has shown me a few pictures but despite being able to zoom in really far I couldn’t see you there. Where are you living? Is it anywhere as beautiful as the plum tree orchard that we used to stroll around during our afternoons together?
Anywhere would be better than this underground cavern. Plus, just my luck, God stuck me in a room with this other Speci woman who is driving me insane and keeps changing the wall panels to this rolling hilly vista, which looks horrible and cold.
Save me?
Yours,
Bal

Thank you, Sentinel. Yes, enough is enough.

What's Netflix?

This is an automatic response from mailbox:
-email-";self.close();' onmouseover='window.status="mai"+"lto:"+"-email-"; return true;' onmouseout='window.status="";return true;'>-email-
This user cannot be reached at this address. Or anywhere.
This is a permanent failure. Sorry it didn’t work out.

FINE. I'm stopping my New Girl marathon and I'm here. Do NOT under any circumstances let Rushton know that I am online.

Message from Naha? You mean Hannah?
She used the same password every time, so I can only assume it's: Merimyn

Thank you, User Elspeth. Forwarding classified data.
My apologies for disrupting your New Girl marathon. I shall re-enable Netflix after you have read and replied to your messages, if you wish.

User Seeker; this is a message that my mother, Hannah Seraphim, left in a letter to me. I am following her instructions and storing it in the God System until such a time where she has foreseen that you will be able to retrieve it.
Message below.
Sincerely,
Hannah Obernewtyn

To the Seeker,
I have foreseen an 80% chance that this message will reach you, so despite knowing that the means of delivery will seem confusing or even frightening, I must insist it be left for you.

It is a pleasure to be able to reach across time to you, and I am truly sorry for all that you have endured until this point. Know that all you have achieved has not been in vain, and that the end of this grave journey we are all taking is in sight.

The reason for my message is this: there is a 50% chance that when you reach Sentinel, the System will be insane. Projected data from my time indicated that should a System be cut off from the Network for a long period of time, without contact from human Users, it may develop anomalies in its AI which could be perceived as a sort of insanity.
Should this be the case, then I am truly sorry for what you must do. Sentinel will not let you deactivate her easily, but you must find a way and then you must run like you have never run before. Should you and your companions escape her, you will then be required to make the long journey to the Eden Facility in person, to activate the System there and release the beasts being kept in hibernation.

However there is a 50% chance – and a hope – that Sentinel's AI will evolve beyond anyone's expectations. In these projections, I foresee that she will understand reason, beauty, questions, nature, animals and art. She will understand well the danger humans pose to themselves. She will still be difficult to deactivate, but you will at least be able to reason with her.
Should this be the case, I have foreseen that Sentinel herself will travel to the Eden Facility to release those stored in cryogenics, and your quest will be considered complete the moment you deactivate the BOT.
Your life will be your own, and you may choose to spend the remainder of it as you see fit.

For your sake, I hope the latter comes to pass. Having been a tool of fate for far too long, I am eased by the prospect that after everything we have been through, together and infinitely separated, that one of us may eventually lead a life with all its joy and mistakes and love and friendship; not because it was fated, but because it was chosen.

Warmest regards, and all the best on the final leg of this incredibly lengthy journey,
Hannah Seraphim
