My original body didn't last much longer. As ghoulish as it appears, it is crucial I keep these remains safe. There is no telling what may have transpired on Takis during my sojourn; I may need to clone myself a new body from these cells. I have instructed the remaining symbiotes to place the corpse into cryostasis; being buried underneath a tomb in the fashion of humans will not harm this process, and indeed may provide useful protection against the elements.
Meanwhile Sophie is struggling with her duties. She has become a Department Head, but her influence on the education system is far from what is required. We need an educated populace in order for my subtly introduced technological advances to be accepted, and she will need to be calling all of the shots for this - as wide ranging as possible. Her mental deterioration is already evident; as her "son" I am encouraging her to throw herself into physical exercise to provide as much resistance as possible - if she is able to keep passing the military's medical examinations she may be permitted to postpone her retirement for long enough, provided she can fight off dementia and keep working.
