Your next communication from the Daughters of Liberty is a request for a live video call. You accept and are surprised to be confronted by $traitor.slaveName's <<if $traitorType == "horror">>terrified <</if>>face. $He looks very different, without visible modifications of any kind and dressed in utilitarian clothes, but it's $him.

			$He gestures that the Daughters are coming and that $he was entrusted with earning your cooperation. $He explains that they want $him to get your security codes for them, and fully expect that $he'll succeed. $He vows that you won't be making a mistake by giving $him codes and that you'll be reunited when it is all over.

		You close the video call without a word. From your desk, you have access to thousands of video feeds from all across the arcology; they show men and women working, sleeping, eating, chatting, fucking. You wonder how many of them have plans, and what those plans are.
