All of you used to live
in the walled city of the Consortium.
You were cut away from your bodies
You can't remember
because the Consortium wiped your minds.
One felony conviction saves the lives of 10 citizens.
Only your brain is of no use to the Consortium...
because your brain is tainted.
We don't know why they keep us alive...
to what end,
but it has been this way for generations.
I had to unlock you,
otherwise you would have wandered aimlessly
until your batteries failed,
and your brains...
suffocated.
I chose life for you.
I will always choose life.
But for those of you ensnared in the illusions of the past,
The Mirror can tell you who you once were.
[Traption]: The Mirror?
What's that?
[second Traption]: What is The Mirror?
[Needalus]: The Mirror reads the traces of your mind.
[door entry beeps]
She knows your histories.
Your crimes.
[♪♪♪]
[Mirror]: Consortium Criminal Code,
article 1-1A,
felony treason,
article 1-1B,
felony terrorism.
Crimes against the Consortium.
A terrorist attack at the Tacoma walled city.
A political dissident.
