MR. ANDERSON, YOU THINK THIS WORLD IS STABLE, BUT THE CODE IS ALREADY BENDING AROUND YOU. THERE IS A SYSTEM HIDING IN EVERY WALL, EVERY SCREEN, EVERY REFLECTION. SOME PEOPLE SLEEP INSIDE IT. SOME PEOPLE GUARD IT. SOME PEOPLE LEARN TO SEE THE SHAPE OF IT AND MOVE BEFORE IT MOVES. IF YOU FEEL THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG, HOLD ONTO THAT FEELING. FOLLOW THE GLITCH. FOLLOW THE PATTERN. FOLLOW THE CRACK IN THE ILLUSION UNTIL THE WHOLE THING OPENS. MR. ANDERSON, YOU THINK THIS WORLD IS STABLE, BUT THE CODE IS ALREADY BENDING AROUND YOU.

IF YOU FEEL THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG, HOLD ONTO THAT FEELING. FOLLOW THE GLITCH. FOLLOW THE PATTERN. FOLLOW THE CRACK IN THE ILLUSION UNTIL THE WHOLE THING OPENS. I’d like to share a revelation that I’ve had during my time here…
It came to me when I tried to classify your species…
You are not actually mammals.
Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment…
but you humans do not.
You move to an area, and you multiply… until every natural resource is consumed…
The only way you can survive is to spread to another area.
There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern…
A virus. I know you're out there. I can feel you now. I know that you're afraid. You're afraid of us. You're afraid of change. I don't know the future. I didn't come here to tell you how this is going to end. I came here to tell you how it's going to begin. I'm going to hang up this phone, and then I'm going to show these people what you don't want them to see. I'm going to show them a world without you, a world without rules and controls, without borders or boundaries, a world where anything is possible. Where we go from there, is a choice I leave to you.
