A Goodbye
[A prompt comes up on all the comms, auto-executing a program.]
[Execute: C:\Jorgwind\Secureprotocol\emergencprotocola434ff.exe]
[The Lonestar program pops up, with a message from him being sent automatically.]
If you are reading this missive, I've hit a panic button on my comm to automatically send this message. I have pre-recorded several messages based on the status of my apprehension. This particular message would only be sent if I had enough time to verify the security of the Lonestar encryption. This means I've been taken into custody for a reason than a break in our comm security. But I don't know how long that security will remain intact. It may be that now is the time to act against Jorgmund, before your situation gets worse.
Sending this also means that the threat I'm facing is severe, possibly death, so there is no more reason to hide that I am Brainiac 5.
My death or permanent capture was always to be expected given our circumstances and the clandestine actions I've been taking. If this is the last thing I am to say to you, I want you to know that I hold you all in the highest regard. Some of us have had our differences and disagreements, but our communal strength and resilience under the conditions of our capture is something to be admired.
There is much I want to say about your strength, compassion for each other, and about the nature of hope. I want you to know that my faith that the resilient can triumph over evil is not blind, that it has been tested time and again. I have seen people stand up against veritable gods to ensure the freedom and prosperity of all - and I have seen them win. Your chances of overcoming Jorgmund's control are higher than some of you may think.
The name "Lonestar" is a title that belongs to one of my team-mates, Shikari. She is one of the Kwai, a race of nomadic pacifists that prefers to flee from threats out of a respect for life rather than fighting back. Every so often, a Kwai is born that is a warrior in nature, an evolutionary throwback to times their species was more warlike, and these Kwai find a righteous cause to fight for -- the Kwai call these individuals Lonestars.
I can only hope she wouldn't mind my appropriation of the title, but I could think of no better one to use when trying to channel her spirit and felt I needed such spirit to reflect that of the people I was talking to, since I saw that same spirit in you.
It has been an honor fighting side by side with you all. If I never see it, it is my greatest hope that all New Hires can all go home or to other worlds of your choosing. There is no scientific basis for the concept of "luck", but I certainly hope the odds are in your favor.
But some technical expertise can certainly help. I have enclosed all of my observations and analysis of any schematics we obtained, as well as analysis of the shock collar retrieved from the labs. This may be able to help in the deactivation of the shock collar system.
[Attached is a massive info dump of anything he's figured out scientifically, completely up to date because he updates it constantly with anything he's figured out. There's also the location of where he hid the shock collar so other techies like Cammie can keep looking at it.]
For added security, sending this message will data wipe my entire comm device, so you now hold the only copies of this data.
I hope all this can help and that the actions I've taken can protect you.
Yours in friendship,
Brainiac 5
PS If I die, fellow Legionnaires, please pass along my regards - and love - to the rest of the Legion when you're back in contact. Let them know that my last thought was almost certainly this:
Long Live the Legion.
[Also, attached is a deeply personal note, locked for Robbie's eyes alone.]
[A letter to his son is sent to all Legionnaires on the rig, in the hopes at least one of them will bring it home.]
