TED KORD MEMORIAL CENTRE
THE TED KORD MEMORIAL CENTRE
In the midst of one of Heropa's public parks is a two-story building titled the TED KORD MEMORIAL CENTRE, created by Jaime Reyes (with Ted Kord's money & bountiful assistance from the government) as a place of remembrance and solace for those that have been lost over the course of the years. The outside wall has numerous slots for the public and imPorts alike to hang up plaques, store flowers, and otherwise present mail, art, photographs or anything else that they wish to be accessible to the public.
The inside is a different story. In order to gain access inside the building and the adjacent garden, you must scan your imPort tattoo, ensuring privacy for those that need it. The most obvious thing when you step foot into the memorial centre is a large tree the entire building was built around, now surrounded by a circular bench. There are a small assembly of chairs and tables for imPorts to sit at with an even assembly of soft, squashy chairs, wicker chairs, couches and stools. In the entrance, there is a donations box. Half of the proceeds will go towards upkeep of the building, and half of the proceeds will go towards an imPort-run charity.
Along the East wall is a displayed digital photo album which imPorts are welcome to add onto at will. The photos will be processed at the end of each day, at which point they will be vetted by Khaji Da to ensure that nothing obscene will be displayed; this is a place for remembrance and, as such, anything that's not fit for minors to see will be denied.
There's room for other ways of imPorts memorializing others and expressing themselves. In addition to shelves and slots where people can hang plaques, leave keepsakes and flowers or display anything else they see fit, the back wall is entirely blank, meant for existing imPorts to share what they would like displayed in the event of their port-out. Suggested pieces of art include paintings, poetry, stories, photography and fabric arts, but anything within reason is allowed to be displayed!
Out back is a garden, fully decorated with trees and flowers save for one empty patch of land, where imPorts are encouraged to grow what they so please. The garden has plenty of benches available to sit on, but is otherwise just a garden; this is an area that's rife for expansion if any imPorts wish to make larger structural art to be displayed or contribute towards a fountain or other such decorations. Lanterns will be automatically turned on after nightfall each night, as the facility will be open 24/7.

PRIVATE MEMORIAL
LETTER
Hey,
I'm writing this more for me than for any of you. I know there's a good chance none of you will ever read this, unless the Porter brings you back. Which would be awkward, but I'll deal with it if it happens. For now, I just want to get this down on paper, and leave it in a place where it belongs. A place for remembering.
I was originally just going to write this for Shepard and Kasumi and the rest of the crew, but then the names kept getting added on. Revan, Kaneki, Peter, Kusanagi, Ellie... The list goes on. So many people have come and gone that it gets hard to make real connections sometimes. Hard to believe in something stable, something that lasts. But I keep trying. I know you'd all want me to.
It's crazy, being here. Not 'here' in Heropa or in another dimension, although that is crazy, especially after so many years. It's crazy being where I am now. I know who I am, what I need to do. I've got a great team, with a lot of support, and people looking to me to make the right choices. And I wouldn't have any of that without you. Each of you has given me something or taught me something. How to lead, how to laugh, when to own my mistakes and when stick to my guns. I just wish you could be here to see where it's all led. I think you'd be glad.
Maybe one day the Porter will bring one or even all of you back to me. Then I can show you what I've been building with what you've taught me, and what it's all for. If nothing else, I can buy you a drink, and catch you up. Until then, all I can do is just keep remembering, and keep the torch burning. I promise.
Missing you all,
--Jacob
