Lying awkwardly amidst broken pieces of our ship, her battered form fits aptly among the detritus.
What was once our captain is now just another piece of debris from our latest battle.
My own beaten body protests as I kneel to separate the still form from its surroundings. Though my exhausted arms ache, she is lighter than I expect.
I lay her upon the remnants of her desk, pushing away junk to create a flat surface.
I perform CPR and beg her to awaken.
Finally, Kathryn emerges, coughing and crying.
As I hold her, the wreckage fades into the background.
