The recorder clicks on and the faint clinking of a glass being set down can be heard.
"So, I kinda thought I was done with this edgy talking to myself stuff but hey, here we are!"
Rachel laughs softly.
"Last time I recorded anything here, I was in a pretty bad place, but it's been a long few years, and a lot's happened. I remembered who I was, you know? Holding onto all that bitterness...it sure as hell didn't help anything, didn't bring anyone back, certainly didn't make me any happier..."
Rachel let out a long sigh and then made a noise like she was stretching real good, before settling back into her chair.
"I'm finally back in the Republic, I even got the old penthouse tower on Manhattan back, and then after screwing around down there for a couple years, getting a handle on all that physical and mental rehab shit that Medical always hounded me about, I was even starting to enjoy the life of a young hot medically retired Naval Officer...and then I promptly reenlisted with the Reserves, and even got recommissioned as a ship Captain, like some kind of idiot-moron who doesn't learn! But you know, honestly? I couldn't be happier with the way things turned out. I think things are finally how they should be, and I think we're okay, diary, you know? Anyway, maybe I'll start using this thing again, or maybe not...worth a shot I guess."
She set the recorder down on the table, before it abruptly stopped recording.
