**The following is an audio file on Sakura's phone**
Third of May 2014, Twelve minutes past seven at uh- Bayside Bedroom.
Ryan was right- about Ace being willing to do anything- to risk my life and his over me, or as he says, the fuckin' baby. He's got the leverage he needs to manipulate Ryan- Ace now has de facto control of him and it sickens me that he used me to get it.
I love him, he says he loves me, but it's what he doesn't say that really gets to me. His hands are effectively tied behind his back, he's too stressed and I think afraid for the both of us to do anything other than leave me.
I won't be cheated out of this because of Ace manipulating him- if he's willing to do that then he's shown his true colors, this didn't go how I hoped it did when I started, it got more- intimate- God- that was... Amazing- that spark being back again! Losing that with Ace is something I tried to figure out- but there was no solution and it was getting ever more dangerous being alone out there, then another white knight, a man who would be there, help me and hold me when I needed it. It's more than I can put into words, love is so overused and dubbed down that most people think it is worthless, hardly worth the air used to utter the word.
**Sakura could be heard sighing and her tone would be quieter afterwards**
So many things I can't do- I can't go back to Ace, I can't let Ryan suffer by my Ex's activities and I can't let him take full custody, I won't lose her, I can't. What needs to be done- how can I fix this?!
Kill Ace? It could work, but it's a last resort, I don't want her growing up without a dad unless it is the only option. First up- we need to stabilize with Ryan- he can't fight for me if his balls are under Ace's foot, I have to destroy his leverage.
The tools are at my disposal, Big Baby to get over the fence with the Electronic Countermeasures jamming broadcasts- my Access to the PRA base is authorized- get some explosives with my AF connections-I can do Fire Safety inspections if I don't get clearance to get the items I need. Some explosives at key points but keep the building standing, so it still allows air in to allow for a continued burn even when the damn AI tries to drain the air or use water. Napalm, burn everything in the damn place.
I did some Electronic Warfare exercises with Christian, get Big Baby monitoring for signals out of the base, if there are none it either means it is a wired transmission or is a temporary broadcast. That means I need to monitor for a few days for data bursts and trace them to any backup data stores he has so I can knock them out when the time comes. Check the perimeter for wired connections. I'll need Ryans help- I need a tech guy, maybe I could hack into the transmissions to find out where they are headed, or send a virus or something. SAN News history should give him good connections with some tech- savvy blokes.
Kill the AI and the data- maybe Ace would be open to joint custody. I don't want either of them dead, but I ain't having an imbalance of power in either of their cases- it's not fair for someone else to dictate what I do with my own flesh and blood- or my relationships! No, just no, period.
Everything is expendable except her- he played manipulation in my life so I guess anything is an acceptable response. I ain't waiting for him to screw me over. Time is... seven thirty seven pm
