Look, I still want to go for peace on this. I don't want to attack these people, they have lost a whole fucking world of shit already. So I am going to ask for something.

I want a story from your past. Something I can share, something that makes you you. Stories were important to them. Past experiences were important to them. It shouldn't give away anything on the ship, just something that is important to the past. Your past. If there is art you can do, a particular talent, something that is creative, give me this. A picture. A recording.

If you're not interested in avoiding a fight, just go do whatever. Lick on a gun barrel for twenty minutes. Warning, they taste bad. But for the ones that want to try? Do me this favor. Avoiding a repeat of Cadacus Primary is why I asked for this job in the first place.

[He'll... try to avoid arranged marriages this time.]

I didn't say cutesy.

Mine has to do with dead children.

All just to make us seem like we could be one of them

No. They cared about histories other then their own. The past was legitimately important to them, and it should be similarly important to us. Their main goal in running us off after the theft was to restore balance. The laws, the rules of their people, were meant for that. Their world was a peaceful one before it was gone, because they cared of past and future and balance.

Now, if you seriously just want to fight go plan to fight. That is not what I am doing here.

I guess I've had too many experiences with people not caring about people like me. It doesn't make sense to me. But if this is the tactic you want to take, maybe I can come up with something to share. I just don't expect them to care.

You know, I have been stabbed in the back and betrayed time and time again. I've had my own neighbors try to kill me during the war.

And I still manage to go out and talk to people. Because not every single person is an asshole that needs to be put down.

[Just... some of them.]

So for that? It's worth trying.

[ He can't hear her sigh, but he will be able to gauge the delay in her reply. It's taken her a while to write this out. ]

I was important to someone once. In some ways he needed me a lot more than I needed him. We got into a situation before we came here, one where I was being held captive, and he sacrificed himself to free me. The thing is the way he did it, it let to me being taken out too. And next thing I knew, I was waking up here, and he just acted like being able to see me again was the best thing that had ever happened to him. But we didn't talk about it. We didn't talk about anything pretty much ever. Then last month, I got sick, and I was dying, and he said he loved me. And I couldn't even return the favor before he disappeared.

[ She's slapped a private filter on this, which is kind of odd, for someone who's sharing a story to be retold. But she's sharing this with Niko, not with everyone on the ship. ]

If you have a chance to go back to be with him when we make it to wherever we're going, would you? Or are you not going to take the risk, and just carry that little bit with you?

[It's a genuine question, because for someone who really wants to live and someone who really wants to love, that sort of decision is almost impossible to make.]

Like I said, he needs me more than I need him. We're both dead where we came from. When he disappeared from the ship

[ There's a gap, as though she's hit send too early and been undecided as to how to continue after that. ]

I worry that he's just gone forever. But I can handle that fact about him better than he ever would have handled that fact if it was me.
