he who hesitates is toast

It's shit, but maybe there's something useful in it. If they have to rewipe him each time – she very, very carefully doesn't allow herself to think about that and what it means beyond the most superficial of levels – then it's because the program isn't permanent. Whatever they're doing, maybe it hasn't erased Bucky completely. Maybe it's only suppressing him.

Still a nightmare. Still torture and pain. But maybe, maybe, fixable. "This algorithm. How is it selecting targets?"
