I chose what was right for me. It's my own body, and my choice.
And I didn't choose it blindly. I have long term plans, I've considered
the risks here and the ramifications of going back home like this, and I
was really fucking careful.
I proposed, and Iris created, a kill switch tied to the microchip
monitoring my vital signs. Which is a precaution I'd considered before,
but wasn't quite willing to commit to. I've never had a false alarm, so
especially here, where death isn't permanent, I consider the risk
negligible. The plan is to remove it the second I have a deal. And if I
vanish without a deal, Iris had already promised me her next one for
something else. She can take care of our world's virus instead, if it
comes to that.
I'm tired of being afraid all the time. Very few things in my life have
ever made me as happy as running through the forest with Iris and the rest
of the pack. Which was only possible because I have actively, deliberately
worked to move past all of the phobias I arrived with. Blood. The
outdoors without walls or fences. Non-canine large mammals - I never
minded dogs.
I still contingency plan like my life depends on it, though; more
importantly, like other people's lives depend on it. I'm driven and
stubborn, but I'm also strategic, and I care so damn much about the
collateral damage I could leave in my wake. I had my fill of that before I
ever set foot on the Barge.
