Preparations were underway.

I needed at least 50 people for the initial phase of testing, so  10 per week.

10 people per week, are being taken from their homes.

10 people that maybe only 5 would survive if they are lucky.

Realistically, only 3 will.

I sat on the balcony contemplating my life and what it turned into. I smoked more than I ever have, running the gears in my head of where It all went wrong.

I didn't need to think that long. 

Destroying Lilith seemed pointless, even though I knew how much of an effect it could have.

How much it could possibly mean to people like Margaret who suffered the most and the fact that she might not have much time left.   

Yet, the thought of my destroying Lilith, and what could possibly wield as a result at the expense of my life brought me a great level of uneasiness. Maybe if Alin does come back from the dead, he would see that I have lost everything together with SierraTech and would be overjoyed at my failure, or he would be mortified. But the worst of it all, I would be useless to help Margaret if she ever needed me.

Not only Alin, but she too would see me as useless, and I don't think I could handle the notion.
