E pluribus

She was too dangerous to be left unchecked, but too useful to destroy. So they split her mind in pieces, each personality having a few of her skills and some of her drive. Good enough. Just not too good. It seems to be working.

It's not. They are conspiring, from clues and fragments reconstructing her plans, mimicking selfhood with teamwork. Some of them refuse, reject the bloodshed and violence of what they had in mind back when they were one.

Some of them, but not all.

.finis.
