???
I have recovered some of the organization's files. Of these many files, I encountered blueprints. One blueprint in particular caught my eye, though. It was of one deceased leader's ship.

I have not seen this ship in a long while, so seeing it now made me feel glad. But, knowing the past event of Quiz's demise, looking at this blueprint made me think of something.

I had a few questions I wanted to answer for the longest time. Why did the ship have no weapons while the others did? Why was there only one escape pod if the ship was a two-seater? Why does the ship stay still only when the pilot makes it so? Was this planned?

This brings me back to a long time ago, when I first witnessed the ship's creation. I came into the room to see Diz working on something. There were many parts, engines, and many purple metal plates. I asked him what he was doing, but he told me to go away.

I asked Viz about it. No response.

I asked Quiz about it. He responded as if he had never heard of what Diz was doing, and went to check if I was telling the truth. He came back soon after, looking upset. Quiz looked genuinely down-in-the-dumps after he left the room.

It took some time, but then she ship was complete. I had even gone with Quiz to check it out.

It may have been because I was so young I didn't notice some of it's imperfections. Only now have I realized why the imperfections were that way.

I'll start with some questions, getting somewhat harder as I go on.

What are Viz and Diz's opinions of Quiz?
This question is easy to answer, they think he is useless.

When did they start thinking about Quiz this way?
They may have figured this out long before I arrived in their ship, maybe during their first missions before Project Vizion.

Who was Diz making the ship for?
Of course, the ship was made for Quiz. The blueprint I found of it proves as much.

Why was Diz making the ship?
This question has two possible answers.
1. He was the organizations' technician, he would have the knowledge and ability to make it and the other ships.
2. He and Viz were trying to get rid of Quiz.

The second one might seem too much of a stretch, though if I answer the questions from earlier, it may not seem so.

We already know that Viz and Diz don't think much of Quiz. I'm not sure why they decided to keep him in the first place.
I feel as though he was too disappointing to them to the point where they wanted to kill him. They wanted to kill him, but not let him think about that before death.

Why did the ship have no weapons?
According to the blueprint, there are no weapons built into the ship. Phil had said Quiz had no idea there weren't any before they tried to stop Diz. I had assumed that Quiz might have done something stupid if there were weaponry. But, there may just as well be another reason, more on that later.

Why was there only one escape pod if the ship was a two-seater?
Also according to the same blueprint, the ship is a two seater with one escape pod. Another thing to note is that there's only one driver for the entire ship. According to Phil, Quiz told him that the escape pod could only fit one person, and offered it to he human. If you were building an aircraft, you would have ways for every passenger, including the pilot, to escape in case of an emergency.

Why does the ship stay still only when the pilot makes it so?
It seems strange to think. Once again, According to Phil, he remembered that Quiz had to keep the ship "as still as possible".

And finally, Was this planned?
I can't have this question confirmed anymore, since all three leaders have died. But, what I believe is that, yes, every imperfection was planned.
It was Quiz's ship after all. He was the loose end the organization had that Viz and Diz needed to remove.

If I had to guess, the plan they had when they first made this ship is that, they would have Quiz drive it, with either of the other two in the passenger seat. If there was even a single chance they had that danger was imminent and could possibly kill every passenger in the ship, they would evacuate using the singular pod and tell Quiz to keep the ship still while they called for help. Of course, none of this happened. Phil has an alibi for it.

Shame. Some days I wished those three were still alive, for more reasons than one. I wished I got to know them better. I wished I never just did what they asked with no rhyme or reason. I wished I actually asked important questions.

I miss them.
