Explorer Note Santiago 18

Transcript

When I told Yongki that Uma confirmed everything, I reminded the kid that-unlike him-I'd always had clearance to look up my own file.

Yongki told me then that he'd searched the database for his own name and found his husband and daughters there in the archive.

It looked to him like they'd been scanned and emulated from the moment they arrived here to live and work, consent or not.

He said he shouldn't have expected any less from the enemy, and I had to remind him that we weren't enemies anymore.

The poor kid looked haunted and desperate, but I think-I hope-I managed to talk him off the ledge and back into the fold.

We need him to help us finish Genesis if we're going to save the world.
