**NOTE:** This codex entry was never officially released by DICE. Therefore, the date listed in the "Description" section is my best educated guess. ### Quotes "AOS is operating under her primary directive, and she's doing just that but under her own parameters. Not ours." - Henry Blackburn "We've opened Pandora's Box... but maybe-maybe there's a way we can close it." - Oz "A few lines of code that it shares with every satellite under Arkangel's purview. If we trigger it, it would cascade across the network - complete shutdown." - Oz "Humanity will have control over its future, Henry. In that world, there's always hope." - Oz <br> ### Description ![[A Second Blackout.wav]] \[recovered audio from private transmission between [[Loyiso "Oz" Okusanya|Oz]] and [[Henry Blackburn]], UNKNOWN. Audio file leaked by unknown source.] BLACKBURN: [[Aurora Operating System|AOS]] is operating under her primary directive, and she's doing just that but under her own parameters. Not ours. And we can't stop her. OZ: We've opened Pandora's Box... but maybe-maybe there's a way we can close it. BLACKBURN: Cut the pontification bullshit, Oz! If you have an idea, spit it out! OZ: When we built Shearwater-2, I installed a killswitch in case we lost control. A few lines of code that it shares with every satellite under [[Arkangel|Arkangel's]] purview. If we trigger it, it would cascade across the network - complete shutdown. Take away its power. BLACKBURN: My God... taking out the network... a sudden stoppage would trigger another [[The Blackout|Blackout]]. Not to mention the impact on the climate. OZ: Humanity will have control over its future, Henry. In that world, there's always hope.
