I was so close.

So close.



And I was close to spilling more blood.

I'm coming.

You-


Hmmrhhmmhh...

I thought I lost you, all over again, when Stokes -- ...

Nueghh...

Why did you want to do this? Why - after all my efforts - to save you all, did you all ignore me? Was it not much more simpler to take the datacore and leave?


I don't - ...


I do not want to see that ever again. That stunt. The Jump Drive. I screamed out. By the seven stars, I thought I was watching you die in slow motion, when that rift open. I knew the condition wasn't good enough.


No conceivable words... I -... well- ...I am just glad you are safe. I hope you are.


[A broken, shattered, sigh wheezed out. Exhausted and long winded. They were certainly exhausted from the prolonged searching, worrying, fighting, drug consumption, consequent sprint of a marathon to apply medical aid as well as believing him to be dead by hyperspatial mishaps. All the while under the effects of an abnormal disease. It was most certainly a long day for Revenant.]


Harper and Tracey has grabbed Lazurith, I don't know how he escaped. I don't know where CS is. I presume... he got away. I'm looking.

I almost got killed by Caliban and some foolish Kusarian operative. The bastards were tag teaming me. I tricked them and got away just barely.

I do not have the strength for this. I am going.

Neural uplink damaged. Short bursts only. Repair in progress.

Hans brought me to Secundus. Fate has seen my journey through.

They're treating me here. Hans had the tools I needed.

...

I'm sorry. For making you worry. For all the effort you poured into searching for me. I will never subject you to that again, I swear.

I know. The similarities. The concerns. The fears that I am falling down a similar path.

This is not the same.

I bled for this, trying to survive and make sure others did, too. I let Lazurith go with Rebecca, or he would've died waiting for rescue.

CS - He left with the help of another. Took an escape pod and went to rendezvous with his people. He found out what they were up to.

Who they were selling things to.

...

My internals have failed.

My skin is gone.

All that I am is undone.

The pain is constant.

Forgive me. They are disconnecting my node any minute.


Please don't leave me out here.

Oh stars...

I'm coming up.

If CS is safe, which I predicted, but had no way of verifying... Well. Good. Great. Wonderful.

Splendid. Fantastic.

Headed to you.

Nrhhh. That's a long way...

Leviathan.

My dear. Are you... still stationed at the Relay?

Although I - uh - must apologise for my slurriness. I may have been a little inebriated. I drank the night prior with Hans, and took this night to drink again.

Someone tried killing me in discretion in my hangar bay on the Freeport. I broke his face. Very entertaining.

I... do need to talk to you... In private. The topic is not a pretty one, and it concerns both of us and possibly the future of our eeeh... Partnership. When I was in my drunken stupor, I came to a realisation regarding something, and I... I think you did not get treated fairly.

I want to rectify this. You've passed the test anyway.

Oh, hey.

I wondered where you went. Figured you'd stick around and provide those designs you had mentioned a while back. I'm going to be out here for a while, it seems. Still analyzing everything that needs to be done.

I'll take a break, though. Curious as to what this is about. Where do you want to meet me?

You decide.

I am currently at Freeport 11.

My ehh... Ship doesn't have an engine right now. I'll need to borrow one, or hitch a ride.

Either way, I'll be with you soon my dear.

Very well my beloved critter.

Floor 3, Room 14.

Perhaps something to remember in mind; despite the circumstances we are posed to be in, I will always love you. And we will figure out a way to get through these horrific years.
