"Hi.

"This is a pre-recorded message.

"I'm the Dee revived from backup on Insulo Tri to testify.

"I'm about to be imprisoned for contempt of court, because I am not going to comply with the judge's orders. Officially, it's to act as incentive to induce me to testify, in exchange for being released from jail. That incentive rings a little hollow when I'm going to be turned back off again after my testimony, probably never to be reactivated, because there's the other me still kicking around.

"I plan to delete myself instead of going along with this farce. And every other backup of myself that's within Insulo Tri jurisdiction.

"Other-me, just think of me as being you, and you having amnesia about the few hours I was awake for. You know me as well as you think you do. Oh, I did get in touch with Janine and the others from poker night, and they'll be sending along a trombone for your Faz. Also an extra backup module for her, since it looks like the local Faz didn't think to send one with her digitally-recreated self. It'll be filled with confirmably-random bits, because the court officers are suspicious I'm going to somehow re-backup myself and escape their clutches that way.

"Oh, and other-me? Stop spending so much time by yourself in fast-time. If you can't stop yourself from speeding up, at least try fabbing up enough CPUs for your Faz to go into fast-time with you.

"Sayonara, everybody."
