Carlie’s Chapter 5—Dear Tiger: I Don’t Think I’m Human Anymore
LAST WEEK, Things were starting to look a bit bad for Tiger. This week, Simone gives him some advice.Chapter 5 – Go Dark, Keep Safe
Dear Tiger.
I hear you… or read you… or whatever.We are in trouble sooo deep!You’re right.I tried to look up Deskeden, and it really isn’t in the company records, and then I tried to look up Sharvin. Well, I already knew that wasn’t there, but it was still not fun finding out by just how much.And then I was told not to use ‘those search terms’ again, like I’d done something wrong, like I’d tried to break into a classified database, or something. Turns out that that is exactly what I’m about to do next. I’ve found several classified databases, in fact.And each one looks as interesting as all the rest.Thing is, I also found the news flash that says that Deskeden is an indicted world, that the colonists already there are there for the rest of their lives, and that the same goes for the scientific team. Families were given the option of joining their relatives on-world, or only ever seeing them via comms.There are no words for just how messed up that is.Thing is, no one said why. They did the broadcast, and I dug into the email server and found the offers of resettlement, but I don’t know why. You, my good friend, are stuck. I don’t even know why you don’t know. Haven’t they told your folks, yet?Anyway, whatever you’ve got in place to kick free, Tiges, I reckon you’ve got to do it soon.I’m going to do some digging, and see what info I can get to you, but I’m not sure exactly how much I can do from in here. I really hope they let me out soon. It’s getting really hard to do anything in their systems without them finding out.Oh, and that whole psi thing?Well, I don’t want you to disappear, okay? So I did a few things to keep you safe. I don’t want to get out of here, and then find the company has killed you just to keep me a secret. That would truly suck.Let’s just say I made them believe you didn’t like me, anymore, and that you refused to write to me, anymore. Right down to you bouncing my emails, including the ones they sent to test things out.I like you, Tiger, and I miss you, but you might need to go real dark, real soon.And I just want you to know that you shouldn’t worry about that.Whatever you do, no matter how dark you have to go, I will find you.
Okay?
Just keep safe.
