You Wont Miss Me When I'm Gone

I don't know what's going on but it's terrifying. We've been captured by what? Ourselves? And they're taking us in. Far be it from me to judge but this isn't sounding like some fun get together, ales, meats, joviality, and all. This is trouble. What if they want to keep us forever? What if we don't make it out of here alive? We could all be trapped here as prisoners or slaves for the rest of our days, never to return to our homes.

But I fear something worse. My own personal torture. Something that would show just how alone I am. I feel selfish or evil just thinking it, but what if we the crew do escape? What if everyone taken away so far manages to get back aboard and we do get out of here? That would truly be a blessing for sure, but if it is to happen then it better happen soon. Other than that I would almost not want it to happen.

Because what if they take me? What if I am removed from the ship that every day I am learning I need to survive? All they would have to do is drag me through those bulkhead doors or beam me away. In a few hours I'd be no more. Even if everyone somehow escaped, if some daring rescue was achieved, would they rescue me? They wouldn't even know me.

Lirha. Jon. Everyone. Not a single one of them save for the curious little robot would remember me and I doubt it wouldn't notice I'm gone until it was too late, if not at all. I'm sure that machine has better things to worry about than crew count.

So here's to a quick rescue. Because if it isn't quick, if I'm taken off of this ship, then there will be no rescue for me. Everyone would return to their own universe and I will cease to exist in body and in thought. Even Olivia would have to forget about me. She's going to have enough of a hard time remembering Alexis. Better to just focus on her than try and remember her father as well.

In the event that I become no more perhaps I should at least let her know. Tell her what happened so she wouldn't search for me in vain for the rest of her life. Give her some closure. Perhaps a farewell message...
