"10 minutes!"
He knows that the time was almost up, and that he had little chance of surviving. His comrades where already retreating, and boarding the ship, but he was too far away, and too in the thick of fighting. They had planned this to be a simple easy mission. When did it go wrong?
"6 minutes!"
Was it when they were attacked or was it when the radar picked up something abnormal and Ace told us to retreat. Ace his fearless leader held off most that allowed the others to escape, and then he went with them afterwards.
"4 minutes!"
He forgot about him, and that he was still behind. Was there a reason why he forgot or did he not care for Cale.
"3 minutes!"
He wouldn't know since his time was almost up as he watched his comrades leave on the ship and a great sadness overtook him, along with bitterness.
"1 minute!"
He wonders if they ever cared about him or if it was all a lie, a farse.
"30 seconds!"
Did all their battles together before mean nothing to them or is he just replaceable to them all.
"7 seconds!"
He wishes he knew before that they would just leave him to his demise as if he was nothing.
"3 seconds!"
"Cole! Grab on!"
A hand reaches down to him, and he grasps it with all is strength. He guesses he wasn't as replaceable or forgettable as he thought.
