Hello, brother. If you're listening to this, the world is still here and so are you. For the record, I never had a moment of doubt. I knew you'd find a way. You always do. I hope, in time, you can see this life is not some quirk of fate. This was your calling. Your destiny. A destiny that touches every living thing. Like it or not, we are masters of our fate. Nothing is written. And our cause, however righteous, pales in comparison to the impact of our effect. Any hope for a better future comes from willing that future into being. A future reflecting the measure of good within ourselves.And all that is good inside us is measured by the good we do for others. We all share the same fate — the same future. The sum of our infinite choices. One such future is built on kindness, trust, and mutual understanding, should we choose to accept it. Driving without question towards a light we cannot see. Not just for those we hold close, but for those we'll never meet. I hope you know I'll always love you, brother. And I will see you again, though I hope it's not too soon. The world still needs you. Of course, they'll never know it, but we do. We, who live and die in the shadows. This message will self-destruct in five seconds. Good luck, Ethan.

You ran the CIA, you know psychological warfare. Well, you see it! Just look around! We are in the Entity's reality!
Hagar! You spend too much! Time! On the internet!
I need you to trust me, one last time.
It's always good to see you on the right side of the grass.
Just... keep telling yourself: "It's only pain."
Stealing the Rabbit's Foot was just one event in a lifelong pattern, repeating itself over and over: For every life he's tried to save, he's gambled millions more, doubling down and down again. And now the fate of every living soul on Earth is his responsibility. [to Ethan] You must be exhausted.
The world's nuclear powers are in a paranoid downward spiral. Every nation had a chance to take their missiles offline, but no one trusted anyone else to do that. Your State Department is warning you that diplomatic channels are breaking down. Everyone who still has control of their arsenals is considering a first strike, just like you are. The intelligence community knows that the Entity is learning as it goes. It's getting smarter, it's getting stronger. They know that we have only 72 hours before every other nuclear arsenal on Earth is under the Entity's control. Three days before it focuses the full force of its energy on the toughest, most secure defense system on the planet: ours, at which point, the Defense Department will have no choice but to insist that you open that case, enter the codes, and launch an all-out preemptive strike on the world's eight other nuclear arsenals before the Entity takes control of ours. Madam President, either you destroy the world or the Entity does. In any case, it is checkmate.
There's no nations on this one. There's no rival ideologies, no dogma. It's who keeps their head and who panics.
You've always been on the right side, brother. Always. Never forget, our lives are not defined by any one action. Our lives are the sum of our choices. I have no regrets. Neither should you.
