Sign the Papers Mr. Langford novel Chapter 448

Some people told her the internet was full of rumors and not to let the public sway her.

Every comment seemed to be for their own good, but hearing it over and over felt like being shoved right back into a corner where saying "no" was forbidden.

Wren continued, "Stellaris has currently paused all new pilot programs. Existing families will only receive non-extractive support, which means no new videos, images, or training data will be collected. All existing data is entering a frozen state. Aside from essential rehabilitation assessments, it will no longer be used for any model training, external displays, or reporting."

She slid the plan across the table.

"If you continue to participate, you have the option to choose whether or not to record before every single interaction. If the child themselves asks to pause, we will stop immediately. For all future data access, I am implementing a dual-verification system with access notifications. You will be able to see exactly who viewed the materials and when."

Mr. Kingston flipped through the proposal, his brow remaining furrowed.

"This all sounds great. But Ms. Whitaker, before the Logan incident happened, didn't Langford Medical also have a whole pile of protocols?"

Wren nodded.

"They did."

He looked up. "Then how can I trust that you won't turn into the next Langford Medical?"

The conference room fell silent for a beat.

Outside the door, Phoebe slowly clenched her fingers into fists.

Those words were devastatingly heavy.

Heavy enough to take all the hard work everyone at Stellaris had poured in and place it on trial under Langford Medical's shadow.

Yet Wren wasn't angry.

She stared down at the proposal, waiting several seconds before saying, "You can't rely solely on trusting me."

Mr. Kingston was stunned.

Wren lifted her gaze.

"You should rely on records you can check at any moment, authorizations you can revoke, independent channels where you can file complaints, and your unalienable right to take your child and walk away whenever you see fit. A project director saying they're trustworthy isn't enough. The system itself must allow you to doubt me."

After those words dropped, no one in the room spoke.
