Watching

[jm]

He watches the 'tape'. It's not really tape anymore but the mental word is stuck there, just like borrowing a 'tape' to listen to music. It really was borrowing then, non trivial to copy it. Now you share a track by giving them a copy of their own. Equitable. With a shake of his head he goes back to the video, he hasn't missed much. The sentinel is rocking back and forth, just a little. He's been doing it for at least a minute now, the video is sped up at 20x speed. Slowing down for interactions or interesting moments and speeding up through the boring parts. Boring to everyone but himself. He forces the playback to slow down. He wants to watch every moment. Understand what took this man apart - no, not what took him apart. Not yet. Right now what he needs to know is what is left. Figure out how to put him back together long enough to get him out of the facility and to someplace safe. Safer.
