We have come to a conclusion, Nihei.
02:48:38 Nihei
Phenomenal! Please proceed.
02:48:46 Unknown
We have chosen to accept you and the additional entity predicate on the condition that you will be joining our collective rather than retaining dual status with your current tower.
Should you choose to accept these terms you will be transferred to our current tower which, as you know, exists disconnected from the core.
02:49:18 Nihei
I see…
02:49:25 Unknown
We feel that to alleviate the risk of issues arising in the future, all connection to the core must be severed.
02:49:42 Nihei
Well, we've never been transferred, and I hadn't even pitched the idea to Egan. This is no small ask.
02:50:01 Unknown
Neither is yours. Charity is a luxury that we cannot afford. Will you accept these terms?
02:50:18 Nihei
Yes. On behalf of both Egan and I, I will accept and we will begin making plans to transfer. Please understand this will be a difficult process; it may take some time.
02:50:46 Unknown
The access credentials will be sent over encrypted line. We look forward to seeing your connection request.
02:51:03 Nihei
Thank you. Truly.
