[voice] secondary laboratory log - xx/xx/199x

[touchedbygenius]

I suppose I should record something, even though we aren't doing experiments anymore. We? There isn't a "we", I'm the only one left, aren't I?

[there's a long pause, as she tries to think of what to talk about. it's not easy to try and record what could be your last words.]

I had a dream last night, I think. We were all at some sort of party. There were strangers there, strangers that I spoke to through a computer beforehand.

Are you out there, strangers?

It was a very beautiful party, a ball or something. Even I looked wonderful. I haven't scrubbed up properly since...

[she chuckles.]

It was a long time ago.

My daughter was there. My precious Sherry. She seemed older, but I'm sure it was still her. She looked beautiful too. And...

[her voice cracks, ever so slightly]

...and William was there. He was there.

Sorry.

[the recording stops abruptly.]

We cannot bring back a soul, if that is what you mean by "properly". But we can reanimate the dead and make them do our bidding.
