Alone with the voices.

"Who's there?" Walking around the bridge, I swear I'm hearing voices. The lonliness of the black has set in. My vision is filled with bright white and blue stars as far as the eye can see. The backdrop of the galactic centre fills a rip through all the polka dots. Still 11K light years away from Colonia and all I can think about is Vee and a hot meal. Her picture is attached to my canopy, lighting up her beautiful face are my string lights. Sometimes I stare at it and hear her voice. Other times I hear the voices of the slavers barking orders from my childhood. I find myself screaming at the slavers that I will no longer heed their call! Panoptes is quick to calm me down because he knows without me, this ship isn't getting to its destination. Settled down, relaxed and re-focused on the mission ahead, I park myself back in my comfortable pilot's seat and resume jumping, honking, scanning and repeat. I keep telling myself this is all for the Empire, me and Vee, and the Syndicate! Signing off.....
