I'm going to do it. I've considered my options and it really is my only choice. Also I can not wait any longer. I am going to hurt myself, to hurt him. I can not handle the Gravemind for one more minute.
"A risky play little one, is it truly one you are willing to make?"
"This isn't a game Gravemind, but if it was... I am about to end it." I say confidently, probably a little overconfident.
"Ah I see, you are a brave one I give you that. Before you do end this game I have one more question. Are you really willing to risk it all?
To possibly lose every memory. Every moment. To even forget your machine exists?Perhaps even stop existing entirely?"
He's right. I don't like it but the Gravemind is right. I could lose it all. Everything I was or could ever end up being could be gone, in one second I could lose it all. All I would have to do is hit this button, and just like that it could all be over. Am I really willing to risk that? I wish John was able to help me. I wish I could just ask him what to do or even just talk to him. He would know exactly what to do, he always does. I miss him. He was always there for me, just like I was always there for him. I always have him to help me with these insane plans but now it's just me. Me against an army. One simple AI against someone who can defeat an entire race just because he was bored. I wish there was some other choice but sadly there is not. I have to do this, for the greater good of all species. Even if it's the last thing I do.
So Gravemind it was nice playing with you... But game over.
