Life.
Death.
Alpha and Omega. The beginning and the end.
It began on the ship. Superior aliens demanded we surrender. They made their request, Hoshi translated it.
Funny how one word can make all the difference in the world.
She thought the aliens said they would let the others live if we chose one to die.
So I sacrificed myself. I knew I would die protecting my crew.
It's a funny thing language.
I gave myself up, without a second thought. I gave myself up before they could protest.
It was only as I was taken into custody by the aliens on the Enterprise Bridge I realised my mistake.
Funny how death can be mistaken for life.
I don't blame Hoshi.
I remember screaming out as my officers were killed one by one.
And that was the end. One crew, one survivor.
It's a funny thing, life.
One shot and they were all gone. T'Pol, Trip, Malcolm, Hoshi, Travis, Phlox.
Gone.
And that was the end.
No fanfare, no anguished screams of pain, no last words.
Nothing.
Just a beginning...and a silent end.
