Silas sat up against the wall of his cell, not daring to look out at a the blank space in front of him. Silence was pure golden after having been chased down countless times during the past few hours. He allowed himself to take in a few calmed breaths before searching his coat pocket for his communicator.
He checked around the absent cell room, looking to see if anyone was watching him. If there were indeed any other prisoners, watching him. To his relief was nobody seemed to be paying attention to him.
It was just him in the prisoners room. He was able to wallow with his guilt and rethink over everything he'd done to get here. But there wasn't any time for that when he had other ideas.
He pulled it out, managing to have got it past security, but began to record a small message:
"Hey, Frida, Jason.....Otto to if you ever get this. Well, I know I might've worried you about me probably being dead and all, but just a heads up I'm not and I'm really sorry for scaring you. And I'm sorry to say I don't think I'm coming back....
I know you'd be thinking why not, but it's because I met this girl who showed everyone they deserved a second chance, and I couldn't help, but leap at the chance......but I knew the consequences. But I think you'll understand why I did it later, maybe in a few years.....
But like I said so many times it'd be nice to go back to living in the woods. Smell the morning air before getting to work like it was back in 1989........for my sake I can't even think straight what I'm trying to tell you.
But I'll miss you guys."
He felt his voice crack as as he said the last bit. Not knowing the next time he'd be able to his old friends was what really hurt. But he found control and kept in the tears that stung at his eyes.
Guilt consumed the rest of his body, even after he found the hope to tell himself it's okay. But that didn't mean he couldn't be broken over leaving his friends. Like the day he left his family, just because he agreed to a stupid deal and bets himself up every night for it.
He could've stayed in his perfect world and died long ago. But here he was still standing, very much alive for being 300 hundred something years old. But it hurt watching people die instead of himself.
But then a loud voice seemed to be coming closer to their room which immediately turned his head, not quite expecting to hear anyone. He thought everyone just watch him on camera and make sure he was there.
The doors slid open, "I won't ask again captain, I need him out of there."
Silas recognized that voice immediately, turning his head to see Brystal back in a full Starfleet uniform, arguing with the captain, also her boyfriend. But did she just say she needed Silas? What more use could he be after all he'd done?
"The captain has the authority to not allow another prisoner to be walking around freely aboard the ship," A Vulcan said by the two.
"Well, it's not my fault that happened. And Silas he isn't a bad person, he can help us. He can help me stop Anya, Jim.........she's going to destroy the whole galaxy looking for me if I don't even know were to start to help other Recreations out there," Brystal argued, "Please.....allow him out of his cell."
