''ADMINISTRATOR:'' YOU ARE ONE OF MANY INDEPENDENT PROCESSORS CONTAINED WITHIN OUR BODY. A FRACTION OF THE WHOLE. A UNIT IN THE SYSTEM.

THE BIOMORPH HAS BEEN TERMINATED. WHAT'S LEFT OF HIM LANDS ON THE PAVEMENT WITH A WET ''THUD''. HE CHOKES OUT ONE FINAL, PATHETIC BREATH. THEN, HE DIES. BECAUSE OF YOUR CHOICE, THEY HAVE BEEN PROVEN, ONCE AGAIN, INFERIOR. OUR HAND SWIVELS, SHAKING THE BLOOD OFF. A FILM OF RED REMAINS WITHIN OUR JOINTS. IN FRONT OF US, THE STREET. IT'S QUIET. WE CAREFULLY LEAN OUT OF THE ALLEYWAY, AND OBSERVE. TO THE LEFT, A STAIRCASE LEADS TO AN UNDERGROUND TRAIN STATION. TO THE RIGHT, A CONVENIENCE STORE. PADLOCKED.

<<audio "endingambience" stop>> <div style="text-align: center;">SIM-TOM heavily relies on audio, some of which can be loud, disorienting and distressing, especially to those sensitive to graphic content. You have been warned. [[Ok.|Admin01]]</div>
