Space-morning? Is that a thing? I don't think that's a thing.

Not much, except that I'm guarding the worst door ever. Behind it is communications, where all the super classified stuff goes on. I thought I was lucky to get guard duty here, but it turns out there's a reason nobody wants this post; the door's got a crack in it. I usually just try to ignore all the crazy secret stuff that goes on, because if anyone knew I was hearing this stuff, I would probably be arrested.
Oh, great, they're talking again. Okay, not listening, not listening..
"..system - an Ambient model, I believe - was completely ruined. Whatever portions of it that were not wholly destroyed or repurposed were corrupted. When we put what was left of the thing back together, it just screamed until we were forced to erase it. What kind of program would do that? It's torture."
"To identify the originators of a program, all you must do is think of who would find a need for it. The answer as to who would vex us is simple; the vexed."
"Impossible. They're gone. All of them. Have you forgotten where I am?"
Not listening, not listening..
"Discarding possibilities is a mistake, Asell. I am merely being cautious."
"I understand that, sir, but if what you suggest is true, the ramifications would be far worse than a single system's destruction."
"Indeed it would. And there is only one other system the program could have transferred into, Asell."
"Are you suggesting.."
Not listening, not listening..
"Yes. Consult Shadowtrack. See if anything out of the ordinary has been detected."
"Ah.. About Shadowtrack.."
"Hm?"
"..Never mind. I just wanted to thank you for gifting it to me, of all people."
"You're my friend, Asell. I can think of no one who would use him better."
"..Right. Goodbye, Ziviex."
Wait, what? Ziviex? ZIVIEX1? Path's perils, what's going on here? Er, I mean: not listening, not listening..
