[There's a person strolling through the halls of the Institute, eyes studying the rooms for a moment before moving onto the next. It shouldn't be that odd, visitors aren't too uncommon, but they definitely shouldn't be walking into restricted areas unimpeded.]

[They're wearing loose, flowy clothes in gold and purple, layered with a scarf draped over their head. Long, thin locs are braided down far past their back.]

could i pleaze have a tape recorder? id like to give my ztatement.

- @ev1-gone-extinct

I'm not going to give you a tape recorder but if you would like to give a statement I can record it.

[ev1-gone-extinct]

pleaze. ev1 has no use for it and might even return it if it finds out, it doeznt zeem to like the eye but i need to get what haz cauzed... thiz. off my horrible metallic chezt. itz juzt. id rather do this in private.

[the-archivist-official]

I really don't think I can let you do that.

[ev1-gone-extinct]

fine. i think youd find it interezting though

[the-archivist-official]

Okay, Okay. Fine. I'll step out, but I will be listening to the tape.

[ev1-gone-extinct]

i wouldnt expect otherwize

*on Jon's return there is a tape labeled with "Thank you"*

*transcript under cut*

sigh... alright. im going to try and get the zpeakerz to ztop mezzing up the 's'z

statement of Vivian Evans, she/her, regarding a book detailing how one would "surpass humanity"

statement begins.

i. i remember it so horribly clearly. ev1 can't but i can. it. i think it started with a book. i was looking through my local library when i saw a book titled "How To Surpass Your Flesh." it had a spider on it which leads me to believe the web had some part in this, but i can only fully blame the extinction.

anyway, i checked out and brought it home. i showed it to my then girlfriend and the look of horror on her face confused me at the time, but she was right, i shouldve listened to her. i just...

...

...this statement isnt about my girlfriend, i should, i should stay on track. anyway i slowly read the book and was captivated, it, it hurt. so much, cutting off chunks of my flesh to replace with brass and steel and circuitz and wires. i told myself, or the extinction told me, or ev1 told me, its so hard to tell, that i needed to do this, that this was so much better than weakness.

by the time i was more machine than flesh, my girlfriend began to hate us for how we acted and. i honestly do too. she was right to break up with us. as much as it hurt.

eventually we got to the head. and. as we rplaced the brain bit by bit. i lost consciousness more and more and eventually i was gone. until a day ago. its apparently been 17 years. and i am scared i will go again.

statement ends

id like to clarify your little eye magic doesnt work on me and i did this of my own free will. at least as much as any of us have free will. thank you for letting me get this off my chest.

[the-archivist-official]

This is... interesting.

But I do wonder why they've suddenly regained consciousness, especially with seemingly no motive from the extinction...

I would say just to mourn everything they've lost, but thats not really the extinctions thing.

[ev1-gone-extinct]

oooh who ya talking about eyez boy?

[the-archivist-official]

And now you’ve interrupted my recording. Just… a statement.

[ev1-gone-extinct]

zazha and tim and martin do it all the time. bezidez, that zeemz to already be recorded. zpeaking of zazha i think zomethingz off with her that i cant quite put my finger on. probably juzt having a bad month after the worm incident. underztandable i guezz. i hate the worm bitch too. glad zhe'z gone. and before you're like "oooh what if zhez not wah wah im a paranoid azzhole" i zaw to it perzonally. and i make zure thingz get done.

anyway that vivian fellow zoundz a lot like me.

[the-archivist-official]
