Out of Options is one of the Collectibles in The Foundation. It is a Hotline call from Helen Marshall.
Transcript
The Hiss got in. The Foundation is overrun. I was out of time and out of options. I took all the C4 I could get my hands on and strapped it to the Nail. Boom. A desperate move, but it's better off in pieces than in enemy hands. Trench wouldn't be thrilled. He always said how vital the Nail was, how it was the Bureau's duty to protect it. Bullshit. Those years spent in the Director's chair warped his priorities. In the end, he valued order over people, the advice of invisible voices over that of old friends. He lost sight of who he was. The Board made sure of that. But I did my duty. The Hiss can't corrupt a pile of smoking rubble. My last act as Head of Operations. I'm done. At least I could take those bastards down with me.
