[Connor 0]

---Back in Connor's head---

{Admit it to yourself, Connor..}

(Yes, admit it..)

{When the lights died in sickbay, you were scared..}

(When you were going down the ladder, you were terrified..)

[so..?]

[Not like that's not normal..]

(Maybe it is, maybe it isn't..)

{Especially since Jas was there..}

[What does Jas have to do with any of this?]

(You want to protect her, don't you?)

{You want to keep her safe from harm.}

(An admirable sentiment.)

[Well..]

[Maybe..]

(Ha!)

[but so what?]

[she's a fellow member of the crew, and a friend.]

[Of course I want to keep her safe.]

(A friend..?)

{Just a friend, Connor?}

[What are you getting at?]

(Oh, nothing..)

[Well, keep it that way.]

[i have work to do.]

{Are you sure you're fit for duty, Connor?}

(Yes, Connor, you have some nasty wounds and burns, and those ribs..)

{Not to mention the fact that you're having a conversation with voices in your skull..}

[Like I told Jas, and Akia, I'm fine!]

[Now bugger off, and leave me to my work!]

(Fine.)

{We'll be here.}

(Would we be anywhere else, you fool?)

{Oh, right, we're only in his head..}

(Right, and don't we forget it!)

 

The voices fade, leaving him alone in his head..

 

[*sigh* Even if I am hearing voices..]

[i'm not going to worry Doc Jas about it..]

[i'll be fine, right?]

(Oh, yes, Connor, you'll be just fine.)

(OW!!)

(What was that for?!)

{We're supposed to have faded ominously, you fool!}

(Oh..)

(So we shouldn't have said anything?)

{Yes!}

(Right..)
