Change of plans. Looks like I have a bit of time tonight after all.

As I suggested at the end of my last post, I will now be pushing the big yellow button. It almost feels like Diana realizes that her actions are being controlled by the player instead of herself. Wait...I just got a strange idea. What if this is actually the birth of Radical-6?

Well, even though we're in a D-team fragment, we pan in on C-Team. Trapped in the decontamination room. Q-Team is, also, and Q feels he's been trapped in there before. All three members of C-Team sense the importance of the button. Q thinks they've forgotten about it via memory loss.

Then the showers come on. For a moment I actually thought Zero had lied about what the buttons did.

After midnight. 2029. Casualty announcement. SHIFT, SIX, RING, AGE, HEART, LOVE. Hmm...Six being Akane is obvious, and I guess I understand why Mira is Heart. But the other four bring up some mysteries. (Shift=Carlos; Ring=Junpei; Age=Q; Love=Eric)

Phi confirms that Diana didn't actively choose to hit the button. She said it was as if someone had taken control of her body. Phi thinks it's alien hand syndrome. She explains it, how it's caused by a faulty connection between the left and right hemispheres of the brain. Then she turns back into the smart-aleck we all know and love, claiming to have "alien mouth syndrome". Sigma wants to believe that the six names are still alive. Diana's certain they aren't. Time to input the X-Passes. Second time I've gotten to do this.

Diana refuses to leave. She runs back into the shelter!

"Wonderful acting. It's an excellent strategy! Your actions in the Decontamination Room--I'm surprised you thought of it so fast. At that moment, all you wanted was to get out quickly. To make that a reality, it just happened that the fastest way was to touch a yellow button and kill the other six participants. However, pressing the button just like that would make you a murderer. A bad person. And even if you did escape after, in a court of law, what you did would be considered bad by judge and jury. So you thought, how could I make this not as bad for me... What you came up with was oh so simple. You simply needed multiple personalities." Zero, you bastard! He then accuses Diana of refusing to believe because by doing something unbeneficial to herself, she makes the "multiple personalities" lie more believable. And Phi will bring a rescue team back, so nothing lost. And he closes by saying "Let us meet again somewhere. Stabat mater dolorosa. I will be awaiting that moment..." And then it's a game over. Well, full openness again. Might as well go back to the 13:30 votes to pick up the last execution. Oh, hey, more Latin! Desine fata deum flecti sperare precando.
