Kael, a data-scavenger, was the first to find it. He expected a ransom-worthy corporate secret. Instead, he found a conversation. The "II" in the filename didn't mean a second video; it meant the second iteration of their combined minds.
The video begins with static that slowly resolves into a garden made of light—a simulated paradise. Brent (Subject 8r3nt) is seen sitting by a fountain of cascading binary.
