"Greetings, Yoko."


"Last time we met, you asked to be kept informed regarding my situation. Besides, I'd like to check on your status as well."

"Due to my injuries, I had to part with some parts of my original body. Though, considering that my ship was destroyed and the escape pod was heavily damaged, I believe that being able to send this message is already a good result."

"Even before all this, I managed to agree with the Technocrats on a suitable operation in order to resolve the issue with my nightmares. So they killed two birds with one stone."

"This new "upgrade" does not eliminate the need for me to sleep, but it should "turn off" any dreams I have. I will tinker with this myself later. Perhaps I can find a better custom solution."

"I hope you're faring better than me."
