I'm no good at speeches. Louis is far better at them than I am - but with him gone I feel that it's my duty to pick up his slack.

[It still stings a little to speak of his disappearance, but Aleph has had worse pains.]

Not because I need to intimidate the administrators. Not because I need to curse them. They know already what their crimes are. But everyone trapped in this tower needs to hear this right now.

Every tyrant falls. Every regime is overthrown, every cruel fist is shaken off. No matter how powerful, how old, or how deeply entrenched.

You know how many of us there are, and our numbers continue to grow. And with every new captive comes a new hope for freedom. Among us are those stronger than you can imagine, those wiser than you can dream of, those skilled beyond belief - those who may not have the power to escape on their own, but will risk everything together to bring down those who would seek to torture us.

With so many of us who are so strong, freedom is an inevitability.

[She nods.]

It's merely a matter of when.

[video;]

[alephbet]

Thank you again for our match.

[video;]

[notayoungkitten]

You're quite welcome.

It was enjoyable.

[video;]

[alephbet]

I thought so too. You were formidable.

[video;]

[notayoungkitten]

Perhaps we will find a moment when we can do it again.

[video;]

[alephbet]

Perhaps we will sometime.

[video;]

[notayoungkitten]

I would like that.

[video;]

[alephbet]

Have you been alright since then?

[video;]

[notayoungkitten]

Well enough, all things considered. Yourself?

[video;]

[alephbet]

Fine. A little regretful that I didn't do more.

[video;]

[notayoungkitten]

None of us were able to do enough.

[video;]

[alephbet]

I suppose not.

[video;]

[notayoungkitten]

We can't bring back the dead.

But I don't believe Dax would want us to let his sacrifice be in vain. I won't let it be.

[video;]

[alephbet]

[Technically he can but it really only works on newly dead and those who died of things he understands.]

None of us will.

[video;]

[notayoungkitten]

We'll get our revenge.

[video;]

[alephbet]

We'll get justice.

[video;]

[notayoungkitten]

We will.

[video;]

[alephbet]

[Eventually. He doesn't have much to say...]

[video;]

[notayoungkitten]

..I wish you luck. In whatever you do.

[video; oops journal fail]

[alephbet]

Thank you, and the same to you.
