sorry

Hyung still didn't understand and said, "The nomads weren't controlling me. I shot you Daniel.
I stayed on your butt and believe me I was making your shield go down." Daniel said, "I don't
doubt it Hyung." Hale grabbed Hyung's shoulder in what was supposed to be a friendly way and
Hyung miserably tried to push Hale away. He was so exhausted; Hales arm barely moved.
Hyung gave up on trying and muttered, "Just kill me now." Daniel let go when he saw Hyung was
so uncomfortable with the close contact. Hale stepped back a few steps and said, "I don't want
to kill you Hyung. I want to know what happened." Hyung, annoyed, growled at Daniel,
"I told you what happened. I shot you. I was talking to the nomads
and you interfered. I couldn't just stand by. I had to do something."
Daniel paused, then said, "I don't know how to make you trust me. I suppose that's not up to me..."

Hale looked uncomfortable for a second and started again, "Look.... I have these.... dreams...
filled with pink skies and flashes of blue. I don't know what they are. I need to be with people
who were there. Hyung, the only person I could find is you." Hyung turned pale and whispered,
"Pain...death...thats what the skies are..." Daniel looked on the verge of tears when he said,
"Help me... please? Why doesn't my daughter look me in the eye any more?" Hyung gave a
panicked hiccup and said, "Crazy skies," then laughed manically. Daniel slumped against the
wall and tried to hold back tears. He looked up at the night sky.
He said softly "This had a toll on us both didn't it. They want something don't they..."

Hyung stopped laughing abruptly and whispered, "Help me." Just as Daniel opened his mouth to
reply, Hyung said sharply, "NO. Don't help me." Daniel looked a little perplexed as he said,
"I know that they were talking to you... you told me that back then. I remember that part now. Let me help you."
Hyung said, "I don't want your help." Then he sneered at Daniel, "Your *Liberty Navy* hunts my kind.
Us Junkers. We don't fit in anywhere." Daniel looked startled and upset at that. He replied,
"I have no problem with Junkers. I opened fire on the nomads to protect you. They nearly
killed you Hyung." The Junker mumbled something derogatory aimed at Hale under his breath.
Daniel continued as if he didn't hear, "I was doing my job, nothing more.
Now I wish I had just stayed in med school."

Hyung froze at that comment. He listened as Daniel said "At least there I understood what my job
was...They told me the plan" Hyung asked, "You were in med school?" Daniel continued,
"Here I am just a little tiny piece being moved around a board by people higher up.
I don't even know their name and they control my life Hyung. Yeah, I was in med school."
Hyung asked,"What planet?" Daniel responded "Los Angeles. It's where I was born."
Hyung slumped quietly against the wall, watching Daniel.
