Dr Thorn,

We are here to give the people the tools they need to ascend. You may say that this technology could be used for enslaving people, but so can anything else. Admittedly, anyone capable of using words can manipulate millions of people. Humans invented print, computers, the Neural Net... every single one of those things can be used for malice and indeed they were. But at the end of the day, people managed to create something beautiful out of them, something good that outweighs the evil. I expect this to be no different.

I expect your arrival at Atka soon.

Yours sincerely,
Nikita Nagrebetskiy
Wisp Innovations
