Dear Sam,
And how the turntables turn, don't they?
Maybe it's now that it's a good time for me to lose all hope. Hope, I think, may be long dead. I think all my hope was placed in one Warden Lombardi, and now, truly, it's over.
It isn't an alternate reality version of him we found in some sewer. It truly, really was him this time. While we sat around doing nothing, a storm was brewing above our heads, and it has claimed its victims.
And I will not forgive those who took their lives.
If only I had stayed. I was not supposed to be here. I was supposed to fail. Cain told me as such.
If I had not accepted Cain's offer to falsify my report, I would still be on the Saturno. I know I'm just one person, one puny little thing, but I could have made a difference. Maybe I could have swayed more of the Replikas to his side, as I knew so many of them. Maybe I could have put up a fight. Maybe I could have been the didfference between Lombar di's life or death.
Maybe he would still be here.
I don't want to sound selfish. But I was not supposed to be here.
I don't care if it would have changed nothing and I just would have been killed or thrown into the prison cells. I wish I was there. I wish I had the opportunity to do anything.
Lombardi is dead and Ripley is missing. The Saturno is no longer ours. The Penrose Lombardi crashed in on is in a bad state. Our odds of retaking the Saturno are low. The cult is pushing to break a seal and release the King.
I will continue to fight for our continued survival, but I think our time is shortened now. We have nowhere to go, no one we can trust, and our situation continues to worsen.
I'm so tired. I've already failed Jason again. He made it harder to hide too, and now it's like my show of weakness and shame is on display.
I'm not sure what we do from here. I'm positive we're going to lose against the King's forces. It makes me sick just to look at the entrance to the mine they're holed up in. I don't know what I'm going to do.
I just hope it will send me back home when I die.
Stay fresh,
Mimic
