12 Steps for Pretenders Anonymous
with highly insincere apologies to 12-steppers everywhere...



Step 1: We admitted we were powerless over the Centre and our Pretends had become unmanageable.

Step 2: Came to believe that a Pretender greater than ourselves could restore our simulations.

Step 3: Made a decision to turn our pretending abilities over to the care of Sydney as we understood him.

Step 4: Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of Mr. Parker, Raines and the Triumverate.

Step 5: Admitted to Sydney, Miss Parker and Jarod the exact nature of what we discovered.

Step 6: Were entirely ready to have Broots remove all the evidence from the Centre mainframe.

Step 7: Humbly asked him to break into Raines' office and steal hidden DSA's once more.

Step 8: Made a list of all persons the Centre had harmed, and became willing to help them.

Step 9: Insinuated ourselves into the lives of such people and helped them wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others by bringing  unwanted Centre attention their way.

Step 10: Continued to make forays into Centre files, and when they did something terrible, promptly retaliated.

Step 11: Sought through clues and annoying phone calls to improve our influence with Miss Parker as we understood her, praying only that she would have knowledge of the truth and the willingness to get out.

Step 12: Having had a amazing sim as a result of these steps, we continuted trying to break through to MP, and to practise pretending in all our affairs.
