07 – Questions

“I understand you’re upset.”

Vidcund slowly removed his augmented reality sunglasses from his face, holding them at an idle angry in his free hand, the autofile clutched in the other. “I am holding in my hand, figuratively speaking, anyway, a file that pertains to basically my entire life, my raison d’être, if you like, and I find that truly massive sections of it are redacted.”

“It’s more clearance than anyone’s ever been allowed regarding the original Project Moses, Vidcund. It’s more access than even I get.” Stamatia was careful to keep her tone even and flat, just as Vidcund was doing. An outburst like this was quite out of his character – but today was the sort of day that tended to change that, and she was prepared to excuse it, if only to keep control of an expensive asset. She couldn’t recall having ever met anyone with a past quite like Vidcund’s, but then… the only secrets people hated worse than the ones being kept from them, were the secrets about themselves.

Vidcund glanced at the page again, returning his glasses to his face so as to read from it. “After the Anfangsburg Tower incident, subject – that’s me, by the way. I must say I love being referred to as ‘subject’. - After the

Anfangsburg Tower incident, subject was sedated by an Enforcement Department team, lead by someone I can’t identify because it’s redacted, and transferred to secure facility 17A. The only reason I can tell you it’s that facility is because I’ve been floating there reading it on the far wall, because on this document here, it’s fucking redacted.”

He waved the document in her face, forgetting for the moment she had no way of reading it – the file was loaded on his glasses, not hers. “I’m not even allowed to be told the parts I already know!”

Stamatia sighed. “Let me see what else I can do about getting you better information, Vidcund.”

“Thank you,” he said, throwing the autofile sheet back into the stack on her desk, as he prepared to leave.

“Where are you going?” “Anfangsburg.” The Facility Director’s eyes narrowed down into fine slits. “Vidcund, regardless of everything that’s happened, you still have a job to do. If you want psychological relief, you’ll have to file a debriefing report.”

“I am going to Anfangsburg because that is where my job is. Gloria Creena is there.”

“How do you know?”

“Read your HUMINT briefings,” he said, dismissively, and closed the door behind himself.
