Chapter Text
Hey Purple!
I-...
(god this is stupid)
I heard you got a new job!
I wonder who got you that! Hehe…
Uhm…
I wanted to get a message to you,
Before you officially became Security Chief on my ship.
I- I know you're probably still angry and I wanted to say a few words before you got here.
I-...
Listen, I….
It was my only chance, okay?
I’ve wanted to be a captain since I was little,
You know that!
I’ve been working towards this for years.
You can’t blame me for not scrapping my dream the first chance I got,
right?
…
I’m sorry, okay?
But what else was I supposed to do?
They would have killed us!
And even if they didn't, what could we have done?
We were just interns,
Who would have listened to us?
There was nothing we could have done.
We can’t beat Mira, they're too big, too powerful.
I know it sucks, but it's all we have.
You know that by now.
I checked in on you before suggesting you, you’ve haven’t gotten a stable job in years, right?
Because of Mira.
We can’t beat them.
We just can’t.
And- and I'm sorry about that.
But it's just the world we live in, and if we want to get anywhere in life, we have to adapt.
You can’t blame me for adapting better than you.
I-...
I’m sorry.
I hope we can be friends again.
I hope you can see my perspective now that it's been a few years.
And I hope that this new job can be a step up for you, financial-wise.
…I have to go now, just a debriefing before launch,
You know how it is.
I’m looking forward to seeing you, Purple.
Captain Red,
Signing off.
