[Did he not tell her? Did he not know? Did he not mention that it was Washington who blindsided them with a revelation none of them wanted to stomach, and marched them into the gut of Freelancer?]
That was all I had left. Three things. Wipe out the Meta. Wipe out Freelancer. Lure the Meta to Command. Use a single E.M.P. blast to scrub every A.I. and terminal from Freelancer Command, all at once.
[Three things.]
[He moves on.]
So I told Church what he was. Didn't believe me, but by the end - yeah. He walked into Command with me. He knew what he was doing when he bought me time to set the blast. He was the reason the Meta only put one bullet in me and didn't actually get the time to finish the job.
It was my fault he was there at all. And nothing I do is ever going to erase that.
