Apparently Colonels don't like to wait. 😅

What the story hinted at (and I regret not making it clearer! 😖) is that the Colonel and the architect got rebooted as well. They forgot what just transpired and were about to repeat the questioning of poor confused C-10Z01, who of course does not remember, which would have lead to another brigade-level reset, and so on, in and out of the same interrogation room. A long day indeed.

But why would the brigade-level reset also affect them? Are they really humans? And is this the first loop? Alas, we can't say, though perhaps there might be some clues...
