   Summary

   "I can lie to myself and say that it's so I can maintain control over my life. A blank slate is a clean slate. A control sample. A new foundation of which to expand upon for all my future decision-making experimentation. New science unburdened by the failed hypothesis of the past.

   But I know that's not true. I know now, with full clarity, that I am the worst of humanity's selfishness.

   Willing to murder the faceless majority, yet not the named minority.

    

   Willing to kill myself to spite the powers that be, yet not willing to kill myself to save mankind."

   ***

   Wherein Ryland Grace knows he is being sent to die, and attempts one last bid for control over the how.
