1.1.01.01.73: forbidden numbers.
Oct. 6th, 2011 12:54 pmAs Victor has duly informed you all, he graduated. Not without considerable effort or thought on his part.
He has spoken for more than I ever could.
I am, however, about to go home. I cannot, truly, stay. I fear I would lose sight of what I have to do, of what I must do. There is a significant part of me which hates to surrender the freedoms I have gained here, but it would be selfish of me to keep those freedoms to myself. There is a whole society which has none of them - and I have to help bring them about.
Which can only bring me to my final note to you all - never take any freedom you have for granted. Never assume it will always be there. Even the inmates amongst you, who I know have less freedom than myself here. Remember, there is a freedom to love, there is a freedom of knowledge, there is a freedom to ask questions, a freedom to know there are questions that need asking, a freedom to tell someone to fuck right off if you want, and a freedom to take your tie off. It's hard to put freedoms down once you know they exist. Often you only notice how few you have when you see how others live.
Sacrifices for the good of the collective.
[Private to Chromie]
I'll leave you all my questionnaires and notes.
[Private to Jane]
I'm going to leave you with my swatch, and instructions. As well as the notes my father left me. You may want to tell a doctor, so they can ensure nothing goes wrong, or if you're unconscious, but I'll leave that choice to you.
Everything else... I'd like to say to you in person.
[Private to George]
Make sure Jane's alright when I'm gone. I'm sorry in advance if she punches you in the nose.

Although I'm leaving, my board will be exactly where I left it. Someone else might want to watch for offensive messages on it, though.
