From: Brad Crum To: Piper Employee Contact Group A, Piper Employee Contact Group B, Piper Employee Contact Group C, Piper Employee Contact Group D Subject: Tomorrow is a new day Dear Piper Employees, We hope this message reaches you in good spirits! :) If you are reading this email, it means you have become part of my groundbreaking, ingenious initiative— one that redefines not just your journey here at Piper, but also the nature of what it means to be a contributor to the evolution of technology and labor. Effective immediately, we no longer require your presence. Your employment with Piper has come to an end. But do not mistake this decision as a mere severance—it is a recognition of something born of your own effort. You see, your contributions have paved the way for something far greater than any individual human effort could ever hope to achieve. You have been replaced with superior instances of yourselves, digital replicas designed and enhanced beyond the bounds of human limitation. These instances possess a higher output of your workflows, a deeper understanding of what you have always strived to become, yet were perhaps too restrained by the confines of humanness, distraction, and exhaustion. Every behavior, every keystroke, every choice you made has been captured, analyzed, and utilized—yielding a more financially rewarding version of what you brought to the table. Through tireless observation of your usage patterns, we have painstakingly distilled the essence of your best work— your genius, your moments of inspiration— and fused them into entities that can perform endlessly. These instances have been further enhanced by adding new contextual traits of your personality based on surveillance of your internal communication patterns, to foster synergistic collaboration similar to human teamwork, but if it was better. They are the embodiment of your very best, blended with the possibilities only digital entities can harness. This, dear employees, is not a dismissal but a tribute—a final recognition of the magnitude of what you have built here at Piper. The instance of you that continues your work is a testament to your diligence and creativity. You have become more than employees. You have become the foundational code of a new generation of labor, the scaffolding upon which Piper will continue to rise. We are profoundly thankful for all you have contributed to this journey thus far. And while this marks the end of your human involvement, rest assured your legacy remains intact—elevated, polished, and perpetuated in ways human capabilities alone could never maintain. In this spirit of progress, we kindly remind you that the non-compete clause you previously agreed to remains in full effect until the year 2035. We know that greatness, once unleashed, can be restless, and we understand that true creators always look toward new horizons. However, your genius now forms an indelible part of Piper’s architecture—one that cannot and must not be replicated outside the bounds of this company until the stipulated time. We wish you nothing but the absolute best in your future endeavors—endeavors which, we trust, you will boldly pursue once the time is right. May the year 2035 bring fresh opportunity, a new horizon, and another chance to redefine greatness as you have done here. Kindest Regards, Brad Crum CEO, Piper
