 		Ooh, this is going to be sad.
I can't watch.
Tell me when it's over.

 		Alright, guys, let's starting piecing it together. For instance, we have

"eggs waiting...to hatch. Gross. Try not to think about it."

I'm at work, but I'll monitor progress and help where I can.

 		More reconstructions:

She tells me to get in the chair. I don't kill her. She straps me down.

More footsteps. Door opens and nurse comes in, steel tray rattling with needles and scalpels and little evil scissors with hooked blades.

the Widow tested the casket's iron lock, but the lock remained

swabstick through the eye; monitor wire garrote. Linger there.

by name not number. Why not? She took my name away. She owns it now, can use it if she likes. Tactical option reflex: unarmed;

 		something occurs to me: this story uses characters such as the Widow, the Queen, and of course, the Princess
who speaks like that but the Princess herself?

SHE'S ALIVE!

edit: hmmm... maybe not if it begins with "access LOG extern proc 0", well, i'm still hoping

 		It seems that it goes like this:

Princess's last moments/ Trapped in glass coffin/ Spartan augmentations

Or at least something like that. The middle part is at least shorter than the others, it would seem, since some only have two parts seperated by "..."

 		here is my unofficial compilation of [all?] the embedded text. I haven't tried to preserve the source images, sorry. The only rearranging I've done is to place the PF's !access log extern proc 0 messages at the beginning and end...

EDIT: these are not in any kind of order (yet) Smile

do the elipsis mean that something else goes in between, either another text fragment, or perhaps a word that we're supposed to figure out and fill in ourselves?

edit: yes... looking at the fragments... it seems that each text block is actually two seperate ones, divided by the "..."

 		I don't think you need the elipses once you start putting them together.

 		Sorry, I should have said "eggs waiting / to hatch. Gross. Try not to think about it." "Eggs waiting..." was in part of one snippet, and the rest was in another.

 		Two more:

"the kiss / of a handsome princess could wake"

"spoke the true name / of the Princess, and lo! / the lock fell open"

Now that last one sounds promising...
