Arlen Glass - The Future

We made toys. We made children happy. That's all that mattered.

And as long as I can still do that, I will. It's the least I can do. For her.

Arlen Glass - The End

We had an apartment, in Cambridge. I went to the office that morning, to try to talk to Marc again.

When... when it all happened, I tried to get back, but the city was in chaos. By the time I got home... there was only a crater. 

I lay down in the ruins. I... I just wanted to die. Instead... I woke up like this.

Arlen Glass - Regrets

I wasn't the best father. Too old. Worked too much. In the end I... never even got to say goodbye

Colonel Thomas Nelson's Warning to Marc Wilson

Bombers incoming. Get to shelter. See you on the other side.

Arlen Glass' Holotape to Marc Wilson - Manifesto

Marc, do you know why toys are important? They help children dream. They let them imagine a better future, beyond this blasted war. They give them hope. 

Thirty years ago, I met a man who understood that. Your father and I built Wilson Atomatoys on that hope. He poured his life into that hope. 

And now? You've thrown it all away. Sold it in search of a quick profit. It's still not too late. If you won't do it for me, for your father, for the company, then... please, do it for the children.

Marc Wilson's Holotape to Nathaniel Hawke - Warning

October 22nd 2077

Damn it, Nate, where are you? After today's meeting, it's going to take a miracle to salvage the SCYTHE contract. And you decide to take the evening off?

Look, I wanted to keep the old man out of it. But what could I do? He called me out in front of the board! I had to fire him!

Where do you stand, Nate? Are you with me, or with him? I want you in my office Monday at nine sharp. We can discuss the contract, or we can discuss your resignation. It's up to you.

Paula Marshall's Note to Jennine Jenkins

October 22nd 2077

Sorry, Jen, I don't know any more than you do. Arlen always was peculiar, but the old man was the heart and soul of this place. I'm going to miss him. And his daughter, too. Marlene was here just the other day - cutest little thing.

I think Nate was just as shocked - he went straight home after the meeting let out. Forgot all about our date. I'll give him a pass. This time.

Arlen Glass' Development Log - October 20th 2077

What a disaster. I haven't heard back on any of the licensing proposals yet. The shift supervisor at the factory isn't returning my calls. I don't have anything to show, and the board meeting's in two days.

I can't afford to be tardy. Clock is ticking, Arlen. Clock is ticking.

SCYTHE Status Report

The first phase of the SCYTHE project is a week ahead of schedule. Two of the five assembly lines have been converted over to SCYTHE production; the third should be fully operational by Wednesday.

An Operations staff briefing has been scheduled for 10/18. Line workers will be trained on their new tasks over the next two weeks as we conduct test runs of the new equipment. Barring unforeseen difficulties, production should begin on 11/1.

Arlen Glass' Development Log - October 17th 2077

Even the color variations are a mess. Tinting the metal altered electrical impedance, so I'm trying automotive detailing now.

Can't believe I skipped Marlene's recital to sit with a bunch of pink horses and watch paint dry. I'll make it up to her once this is all over.

Arlen Glass' Development Log - October 14th 2077

Slow progress. The new leg servos are still too powerful; They punched a hole in the floor during today's test. Need to scale them back again. I just don't know what went wrong.
