Ch 41
“Hello, Freedom Forcers! I am an overly pure truthful idealist. I am Opti. I must say, I am so super-excited to meet each and every one of you. Now, just so we’re clear, it is my mission to kill you all. Well, not all of you. Thankfully I am not allowed to kill Kaity or Exp 8. However, the rest of you aren’t quite so lucky. But there’s no need to worry at all! I will make your deaths fun, quick and painless. Pop, like a balloon. I mean there will be some agony, but nobody will suffer all that much. If that still isn’t good enough for you, fret not, there’s another way to resolve this! If you can convince Exp 8 to surrender and swear his unending loyalty to Devlin, then nobody has to die at all. This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance. Just think it over…whup, time’s up. So, what is your decision?” asked Opti with an unchanging cheerful tone. He looked out at all of them with hope in his shimmering eyes.
