Broken Strands: Part 9, Shattered Pieces

Bastion sits silently at the helm of the ship. Unable or unwilling to form the message in front of him. Probably both. For many long moments he pauses, trying to find anything from within the shattered data cores. Nothing. Just hints of a transmission, and nothing more.

“…I regret to inform you. Revy Daidros was destroyed twelve hours ago. She slipped out of the medical facility, and made her way to the hive. From what little data I can gather, and there isn’t much… it appears that her ships defenses were never activated. Nor were its weapons systems. It is my belief that she left a final message that was damaged and irretrievable. Perhaps you have the abilities to cipher it, as I do not. I will see that they make it to your desk.”

“I have activated her clone cycle, and barring any problems it will be ready in the next few days. As per her request, the memories surrounding this incident have not been wiped from her mind. Thank you again for all you have done.”

He finishes the message, and looks curiously out across the wreckage. Far in the distance lies the hive. And perhaps somewhere, the last thoughts of Revy Daidros- drifting towards nothing… and everything.
