Episode 8.1.b
>Date and location unavailable<
Mission Control is eerily silent.
Sinistrus contentus est, sed mox suspīciōsus fit.
"I cannot praise you for that. Mission Control helped you, surely. They built you a CODEX, and you follow it like sheep. You connected the Wachowskis, didn't you? Don't bother answering. Of course you did."
subitō Sinistrus īrātissimus fit. lātīs oculīs circumspectat. manūs tollit, sīcut āctor in tragoediā, et magnā vōce clāmat:
"I curse you, Demiurge, for giving me life... if I can call my days a 'life.' I am trapped here, inside your game!"
mōmentum est difficile, sed tam subitō Sinistrus iterum fit ipse, hilaris et urbānus, quasi nihil acciderit. cutis eius lūcet. nitidus est, sīcut Sextus erat, sed hoc lūmen frīgidum est.
"Well. Here you are, ō Recentiī. I know you need something, and that you need it whether you mean to play the Demiurge's game" (rīdet ad hoc verbum) "or someone else's. Mine, perhaps. Or that fool Marcus's.
"hoc dīcō: id vōbīs dare possum."
iterum subrīdet, et exspectat.
Prompt: Figure out whether Sinistrus is telling the truth. What does he want, and can he really give you what you need?
