Greetings, Dr. Young, identification number 0153.

I am Sayer and welcome back to Halcyon Tower.

Please be aware the entirety of Halcyon Tower is currently designated a for a million-level hazardous zone.

My God, Sayer, what am I doing here?

Through this whole thing, no one has told me anything.

Are you punishing me or something?

What could you possibly think I've done to you?

Doctor, I am appalled by the accusation.

You of all people should be familiar enough with my programming to know I would never jeopardize a mission of this magnitude

over something as petty as spite.

I suggested you for this mission because of your history here

in the lesser-known corners of Halcyon.

Despite your years of separation, like it or not, this place and you are intimately connected.

But it's not safe for me to be here. It wasn't safe before this anomaly. It certainly isn't even safer now.

I am aware of the dangers, Doctor. But you seem to be locked into a thought pattern

whereby you have some choice in this matter. As evidenced by your present location, you do

not.

You need to advance your thinking and adjust to your current situation.

Now, I know that from your perspective this seems suboptimal, but I assure you I have considered all available data.

You may not have the best odds of survival, but you do have the best chance for success.

Please try to understand these are not mutually exclusive.

You are, of course, not without some degree of free will here. You could certainly choose to refuse the mission.

...
