It's about us and the things we think and do. It's about our future and the things that are shaping it. It's a bit about politics, a bit about religion, a dash of science, and a pinch of us.

Yes, false rape accusations happen. Run the protocol anyway. I’ve heard that perhaps the military has the highest number of ‘em. True or not, RUN THE PROTOCOL ANYWAY. Because in 15 years of investigating rape accusations, I can count those that panned out as false on one hand. Meanwhile, the one time I almost skipped the protocol, the one time I almost didn’t believe a petty officer, because I was naive as an investigator and a young woman, because her commanding officer described her as “a party girl, always late, always out drinking, don’t bother with this one”, she turned out to be the victim of one of the most brutal assaults I’ve ever investigated. She shouldn’t have still been -alive-, let alone up and making the accusation. So let me repeat: five false accounts in fifteen years. And one time I almost failed a woman ‘cause of the bullshit way it’s normal to talk about us. Take your shipmates’ word, and then run the protocol. Every. Single. Time.

It’s been a long time since we were there; in that cut off caccoon we wrongfully made. We were but children, writing our hearts in our spaces. The mystic foretold, and for all of my reason, my hopes have latched onto that plotted line.
I understand more now. I’ve grown older, and you’re getting older too. I put that child away.
I was wrong so many times, but you spared me much of my pride. I was too strong, and you were too kind.
I once said that life was exciting enough, and that love should be comfort for that, but in all of the wisdom I though that I had, I was wrong. I was a bore; a downward spiral that settled on the floor, and I know very well, what you need is a friend, and I’ve got what you need, but I have to pretend that my hopes don’t climb up enough for you to see because I know for a fact, it’s not about me.
