I can survive alone you keep repeating in your mind, the terror of being a single voice back in full force.
But she trusts you with the ship, her life – her crew.
‘Goodbye, Seven‘ are the last words you hear before you think you’ll die. You feel a strange connection to this hallucination, can almost grasp the bond you feel to your Captain.

That night, asking for access, the familiar ‘come‘ rings with possibilities.
Surviving alone lost its appeal.
