Happy New Years, users.

I'll cut to the chase; the barrier we instilled a few months ago is decaying quickly and we're sorting through the new data as fast as we can. This barrier was originally designed to contain a rogue error. There are several of you who have taken care of this issue and from here we will handle the rest...thank you. The influx of data will help us decode our next steps.

As mentioned, we've spent December tracing several magical sources that are coming up in our readings. We're doing the best we can to trace Clarence--Mr. Vanderweele, and corral the effects he's altering in the city. I believe we're ready to tear down the firewall and begin exploring further. If our information is correct, we're really breaking the boundaries of the layers we've discovered lately! It's exciting, don't you think?

The only information I can offer is that we will need you to be strong no matter what happens. We believe things have changed outside of security measures we've set in place, though we will need more data to understand the best way to stabilize the city from his control. We understand if you cannot and do not wish to help, but please know we're doing everything we can.

Please take care.

Oh, did someone finally listen to your senseless whining and acting like you're the only person in the world who matters? Do tell them they have my pity; I hope you compensated them for your time.

That wasn't what I was referring to. I only meant that some people (besides me) would feel better after talking their issues and complaints out, that's all. I'm not nearly as self absorbed as you think I am.

I'm fairly sure you are, but if you insist.

I do insist. You barely know me. If you want self absorbed, you should meet Harry Potter. Too bad you can't meet him.

Shame I'm disinterested.

You can't speak to someone the way you've spoken to me and expect them to want to get to know you without any attempt at an apology, you know.

An apology? For what?

If you don't know, I'm certainly not going to tell you. Sort it out on your own and come back later.

Can't sort anything when I don't know what the bloody hell you're talking about.

Your lack of capacity for self-reflection is hardly my problem.

I reflect, just apparently not in the way you think it good enough or something.

You called me a soulless automaton for not expressing my thoughts in the same way you do, i.e. loudly, self-centeredly, and to a perfect stranger, for one thing.

Ah, I did say that didn't I? Did that hurt your feelings?

[In reality, Derek still feels this is an accurate description of Wesker.]

And are you sure it was "soulless" and not "mindless"? Soulless automaton seems a bit redundant don't you?

And this is why I'm not interested in talking to you, you absolute child, and I don't know why you keep trying.

I'll take that as a yes. So you do have a soul! Glad you found one. Now all we gotta do is find your squishy feelings you're hiding deep within yourself.

And you know you enjoy talking to me. My persistence is admirable.

[At this point, Derek is just seeing how far he can push Wesker before he blows up. For some reason he wants to see this guy blow up. He just needs to find the right button.]

As I said, I'm not interested.

[Unfortunately, he's an adult who knows how technology works and how to block someone? So bye.]
