^Maybe you’re right. I think I need to see a professional and sort through this before I go and do something I regret.

^Maybe there would be some positive reactions from people if I left the corporation and then told them what I had done. If I stop doing it, some forgiveness might come along with the status.

~C16-1-1-1
^I’m sure there would be some anger, but people are fascinated by people they hate. Think about the recording of human history, and how much space is dedicated to the bad guys. We are doing something bad, so at least we should go down in history as the ones who are doing it.
>I disagree. The titans are destroying people’s lives, and it’s only going to get worse. I think everyone will be way less forgiving than you think.=C16-1-1-1-1
>I guess there might be some element of celebrity that may come with people knowing what we are doing, but are you really willing to take that risk? I’ve heard fame is pretty toxic. As if we need more toxicity in our lives right now…=C16-1-1-1-2

^The sense of importance and pride I feel when I create a new titan is unlike anything I have ever felt before. But that’s not enough for me. It’s crushing me to hide the fact that I am behind this scientific anomaly. I want to tell people. I need to tell people...
>You actually want people to know that you are responsible for these monsters? Are you crazy? People would be so angry…=C16-1-2-1-1
>It’s true. If people knew that we were making these, we would be getting attention. It’s just hard to predict what kind of attention it would be.=C16-1-2-1-2

^Well, I wish I was less selfish, like you.

~C16-1-2-1-2
^If you ever feel like discussing an exit plan, let me know.

~C16-1-2-1
^I don’t know what I love more: the actual science, or the possibility of everyone knowing that we did this. We are changing history, we are in control of the direction of humanity. Don’t you want that to be your legacy? Secrets can’t become legacies.
>No. I care more about the research and science.=C16-1-2-1-1
>It’s tempting, I admit. It’s such a risk though…=C16-1-2-1-2

~C16-1-2-2-1
^I’ll try my best to keep that in mind. Thanks for the chat - please keep this between us.

~C16-1-2-2-2
^That’s good to know. I’ll contact some people and let you know If I come up with a good plan of action.

~C16-1-2-2
^Would you ever jump ship and leak info to the press?
>Of course not. That would be career suicide. I get where you’re coming from, but I really hope you think this through. It’s not just about you, it’s about the whole company.=C16-1-2-2-1
>If it felt like the right thing to do, I would consider it. I would have to really know what the plan was and how we were going to be portrayed in the media.=C16-1-2-2-2

~C16-1-2
^Exactly. Every titan I make is bigger and better. I want to know how far I can push this without getting caught. But, getting caught wouldn’t be so bad either, because then people would finally understand the amazing work we are doing.
>I don’t think people would understand. Things would get shut down so fast if it was revealed what’s going on here.=C16-1-2-1
>I had a dream the other night where I told someone outside of the corporation about my involvement with the titans. It ended up being all of the news and eventually the government started funding our research. Sometimes I wish things didn’t have to be so secretive.=C16-1-2-2

~C16-1
^This is bad. Really bad. I think this has become an actual addiction. Like, I need to see a professional, but I can’t really talk to someone outside the corporation about something like this.
>What are you addicted to? Is this a workaholic situation, or is it something about the actual titans?=C16-1-1
>I feel it too. It’s the power of creating something that is bigger than yourself, right?=C16-1-2
