[That wasn't what Fayt meant at all. He hadn't forgotten her work in the military by a long shot, considering that was how they met.
But to compare this to some military command failure was a rather poor comparison. It was on a whole other scale than any military. They didn't even know this guy existed, up until recently, and he certainly didn't pass down orders..... they'd only gained knowledge in a way he hadn't expected.]
Our goals hadn't changed. We needed to stop the executioners, so we made our way to Sphere Corporation, a company that developed the program for our galaxy. [It still felt weird to say, and it probably showed from his thin lipped expression. He didn't like talking about it, for all he'd accepted it and was giving her a calm report of everything.] Blair promised us a program that would eliminate the executioners, because her and a team of programmers we met had accepted that we weren't just a simulation, but an entire other reality they didn't want to see destroyed.
But they seemed like just about the only employees that agreed, and the company owner still wanted us dead. We managed to escape with the uninstaller that would remove the executioners from our world, but...
It didn't work. The Owner had anticipated what we'd do and had made a program that would only activate when the uninstaller was used, creating even more powerful monsters than the Executioners and Enforcers we'd seen before. [Smaller, but far more deadly....] But it did leave us a clue to figure out what to do next. Blair told us the program had left traces to follow it back to the source, where the Owner himself was in the Eternal Sphere. We needed to convince him to uninstall the program himself.

[Not that talking had worked, either.]
