I’m very grateful to what happened in my canon. Being in a supporting role feels more right than the main antagonist role the games gave me. Mr. Ingram, as much as I hate him, even admitted so in his little fairy story that the reason I joined Providence was to make the world a better place. And I wouldn’t have fallen under that corporate shell of a capitalistic amoral hellscape when my mentor was Janus. I don’t really understand my appearance in the games a lot. He just went corrupted with the want of power. He terrifies me.
My idea with the Destiny Group I wanted to create was so all the corporations under Providence’s control would no longer be invincible. They had to deal with fallouts, damages. People could get reparations. At the same time everyone at Providence still keeps their jobs. Idealistic, maybe, but at least I made it work.
I thought the Partners would give me a chance, but of course they didn’t, the classist elitists. And I must admit that my time as Constant did change me. I did lose my way, my original purpose for joining, why I wanted that power. But it was only after the… whole poison chip incident that I finally remembered what I wanted. I remembered myself.
Ironically I have to thank Mr. Ingram, Mr. Stuyvesant and Mrs. Carlisle for how they treated me, because for them it engineered their downfalls. I wonder if Mrs. Carlisle saw me as just a secretary still when all was said and done.
