Nubecula, day 25, video

[This one sort of has video. There’s a pair of legs, in cargo trousers and laid upon them are two hands poking out of orange sleeves. The hands are dark with silvery tattoos though it is hard to get any detail because the torch on the SCA is on, putting a weird glare on the video.]

I was thinking Voidtrecker Express. There are so many worlds out there that don’t know about the void. Can you even fathom it?

Never knowing the void, never hearing its song. Never even knowing that you aren’t alone in the multiverse. What is that like? How do people even live like it.

[The head tilts up slightly, a small sigh.] I can’t sleep again. It escapes me. But I’m banned from the lab after dark. [A muttering.] You cause one small explosion and suddenly your sleeping patterns are everyone’s business.

I wonder what it’s like to discover the void. To not know it at all and then… To realise. For your world to grow so much in a moment of knowledge.

[The video goes on for about another half minute, just silence and then cuts out.]

I would like it on record that I take back every bad thing I’ve ever said about Junior Blue Lead Vian Tail.

She saved me on that mission, I would not have gotten out of that cavern alive. I was prideful, thought I could set the last charge and get out on time, that I could have evacuated out if I got into trouble. I didn’t factor in being knocked out. If she hadn’t come back for me…

I owe her.

Voidtrecker Express. Do you long for home? I’m homesick I guess. I know it is useless to try and track planet time but… It would be winter on Thistea now. I miss crystal flowers. There’s just something about sunlight reflecting through them that… It’s a feeling not just a sight.

I hope we can go back soon. Even just for a visit. The voidplatform doesn’t count. I know we’ve been busy, but it’s been months. I’m not the only one…

But you know that. It can’t be comfortable for you.

Until we speak again. Xela.

[Again it is a video and she is facing away from the screen, her hands are up this time, gripping a short metal flute and she plays, it’s a haunting melody that plays for a minute or two.]

The villagers of Ghirn, system #112999112. I am sorry. Rest well.

I can’t do this. I mean. I can. I’ve done the maths. But there’s so much. It’s forbidden. Not just forbidden it is r’ith. Not that that matters. I’m the only Thistean on the crew left alive.

Daylin is right. We’ve already lost everything. So what is integrity?

Does morality matter if we can reverse this? Is sitting on our hands when we could reverse harm as bad as causing harm in the first place?

Voidtrecker? If this goes wrong… I’m sorry.
