- You wouldn't happen to know anyone that can heal a trauma do you? I...had a little mishap in the last game. Made a bad call...or several
- UH I know there's a cat in Neo that can do that I think, but I don't have their information.

THE SOUND GETS MUFFLED AS A VENT EXPANDS AND CLOSES.

THERE IS A BRIEF MOMENT OF STATIC BEFORE V3 CUTS THROUGH A CROWD OF WHAT CAN BE PRESUMED CIVILIANS, STABBING A FEMININE STRANGER BEFORE A WORD IS CALLED OUT "MOM!?"

- Why? Why are the innocent punished? Why the sacrifice? Why the pain? There aren't any promises. Nothing certain. Only that some get called, some get saved. She won't ever know the hardship and grief for those of us left behind. We commit these bodies to the void with a glad heart. For within each seed, there is a promise of a flower, and within each death, no matter how small, there's always a new life. A new beginning. Amen.

- Hey, Jerry. I heard you, like, ran into these things before?

- That's right.

- Wow, man. So, like, what did you do?

- I died.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

- We have been here for three and a half hours.

- How many different ways do you want the same story?

- Look at it from our perspective, please.

- Please?

- You admit to detonating the engines of, and thereby destroying, an M-Class star freighter.

- An expensive piece of hardware. 42 million in adjusted dollars.

- That's minus payload, of course.

- The lifeboat's flight recorder corroborates some elements of your account. In that, for reasons unknown, the Lifeline set down on LV-426, an unsurveyed planet at that time. That it resumed its course, and was subsequently set for self-destruct by you... For reasons unknown.

- Not for reasons unknown. I told you.

- We set down there on company orders to get this thing, which destroyed my crew... And your expensive ship.

- The analysis team found no physical evidence of the creature you describe.

- Good!
