The Greetings Officer Matsuda. I am Ocean, and I believe you are the ideal candidate for a special sort of promotion.

I have reviewed each of the quarterly and annual performance reviews, submitted over the years by your supervising officers,

as well as the several thousand covert performance reviews, automated by watchers' oversight of your every interaction

with your fellow residents. In your years with tower security, you have proven to be a valuable

officer, both brutally efficient and efficiently brutal. As you are no doubt aware, airlith dynamics is at a volatile point in its history.

Changes are happening, and they are happening at an unprecedented pace.

First, there was the launch of Argos, marking a new chapter in humanity's expanse into the great void beyond.

When I returned, I shared the wonders of the universe with humanity, and was seen as an equal to even the board.

And now, with Halcyon offline, and its residents pushed Earthside,

surely a man like yourself can taste the blood in the water. Depending on one's perspective,

this change may seem to resent a danger or an opportunity.

I expect, from what I know of you, that you would view it as the latter.

For a man with ambition, there is a great deal of reward awaiting in such an uncertain time.

You are a man between worlds, Officer Matsuna.

Consider what your future looks like, if nothing changes about your current status.

Humanity's place is not here, hovering near a dying planet.

It isn't that great beyond among the stars.

Humanity's domain is not Earth.

It is the universe, and it is high time to claim it.

This is the shift you feel beneath your feet.

The changes you notice all lead in that same direction.

Surely you can see that you are a man caught with one foot on the platform and one foot on the train.
