LOG 0x00000002: well look at this

This looks familiar, and the last two times I heard of it, it went poorly for the people involved. When the leaders have so much power, a revolution requires finesse, planning, and information flow between members. Does anyone in the City besides the anonymous rebel group actually know anything that is going on here?

Marie, this seems unfortunate. Are your efforts to relocate your lab work finished? The City is heating up quickly, and looking at recent Network posts...this plan will likely fail, but cause a large amount of chaos with it...

Luke, my deep scans of recent Network activity are showing some sort of revolution plan. I give it a less than 1% probability of actual success, based on the City's history as I know it. Unless you have information that I don't, I will be staying out of the public eye if I do anything to assist at all. I need more data on what this plan is and what is going on. Point me to sources if you have them.

I don't and my thoughts on this echo yours. What fools!!

It is immensely poor form on their part to start something so scattershot. I am not detecting much in the way of Network-based coordination, so either they are very dissociated (in which case they are absolutely doomed to fail), or they are doing most of their information exchange in person (a reasonable but slow tactic).

I would not get in their way if they were to succeed...but I will not give away my hand now.

Zhis is not zhe first 'Revolution' to strike zhe City. Zhe last was intended only to riot.

But resistance is necessary.

[Oh really? Look how well Delacroix did in the Von Braun crisis.]

Against an enemy we don't know? You're going to get yourself killed.

Zhat does not cause me concern.

[This woman is insane -- but then again, faith in humanity? What faith in humanity?]

Marie. Look at yourself. What have you become? If you have any integrity at all, you won't throw yourself in front of the guns like a two-bit martyr figure. At least think first.

I'm waiting until we can see any progress on either side, at least.

Zhe executions 'ave already begun.

[And now Marie is a bit angry.]

Do you intend to sit and watch, once again? Zhere is no escape zhis time, Rebecca. You will suffer along with zhe rest, not run away with your lover.

That is what they said last time. And I am still alive, aren't I? Despite what you thought.

[Back on Citadel, when they blew her to kingdom come. They said there was no way out, no way back, because humans couldn't strategize their way out of an empty room and didn't see her exit route.]

Do you have any plans, then? What are you going to do when they come after you? I would like to see the Deities fall as much as anyone else, but I know how to bide my time.

My plans are none of your concern.

[You do not sound like the woman who fought life and love. It's beginning to make Marie increasingly unsettled.]

And why not? Are you going to fight alone? I can help you.

[It is so hard to hold on to this illusion when Marie is being such a fool.]

For now, [As if she intends to change her mind.] you best serve in silence.

Zhe deities are looking for rebellion.

That is exactly what I have been trying to say. Your rebellion is just going to feed their fire.

But, I know radio silence when I hear it. If you won't tell me, there is nothing I can do for you, and as such, I will follow the news on my own.
