none of which so dangerous as virtue

Setsuna F. Seiei is in his room, and for once, everything seems to be somewhat right here, if not elsewhere.

It's...

It's good to have him back.

There are other events that cause me to grow uneasy, but for now, although I certainly won't forget about them, they will not be in the forefront of my thoughts. No, for now, there are other things to think about.

...perhaps we could even have a small celebration.

Just because Lyle Dylandy looks like Lockon Stratos does not mean you can tell him what you like. He is not one of us. If you wish to remain in possession of both your life and your full set of body parts, you will not mention one word about who we are or what we do.

You will also refrain from giving any indication of your location, or the location of any other personnel. You will not befriend him.

This man will be kept at arm's length until I have checked all appropriate data AND he has been admitted under our conditions of secrecy into our organization.

DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR, CELESTIAL BEING?

Trinitys, I think it is plain to see that you do not work the way we do. We need to talk, all seven of us. But not here. I don't like people getting into my room.

It is my opinion that we should meet on the island. We will send you a map, if you don't already know where it is.

Lockon, Setsuna, prepare for our arrival. Allelujah, you're with me.

If you don't want to talk, I can think of other, more hostile methods of negotiation.

Apparently, we've both been invited to Mikaela Banes' party. You aren't going, are you?

Returning the program to its correct state turned out to be easier than I thought. I suppose I should be thankful that the craftsmanship of "the other me" turned out to be so shoddy and easy to unravel. The program has been checked and rechecked, both by myself and the system I'm using.

...I probably shouldn't have wasted its processing on that, but I had to be sure. And besides, the program will protect it in the long run.

Apart from the setback caused by the virus, however, work was almost completed. In actual fact, the weeks worth of projected work will be completed in a week or so. If I aim to work even faster, then perhaps it will only be a few days. This is by far the largest program I have ever created: it has taken over two months of my time to construct. Time I am sure I could have spent doing other things. But nevertheless, it was important. This way, things will be much safer.

No more of those stupid viruses. Maybe now Setsuna will stop avoiding me. It's extremely irritating that I must search him out before I can tell him what to do.
