After finishing the immense tasks that Starwind and Hawking
Enterprises seemed to bring us, the crew and I were finally are taking a
break. With the money from our last job we can finally afford to take our
long deserved vacation.
Everyone was excited, we haven't had a rest in quite some time and we all need to relax. Aisha went back to visit the Ctarl Ctarl and Suzuka mysteriously disappeared with her share of the money as usual. Jim made reservations for a beach resort with a full gourmet buffet that is famous all around the galaxy. Figures he go somewhere like that. Melfina decided to tag along with Jim because she'd never seen the ocean before. As the last of them departed to their destinations, I smiled and waved goodbye. I had decided to just hang out at the place we had on Sentinel III.
When all was quiet, I stretched out eagerly on the plush yet faded couch. Damn, it felt good to relax. I moved my shoulder awkwardly in small circles trying to get the soreness to disappear. Finally I found a relatively comfortable position and drifted off to my well earned sleep.
I awoke later in the evening, and as I looked around the dark empty room I remembered that everyone was had left. I sat up and rested my head heavily in my hand. Despite all the noise that everyone caused and all the crazy antics, I found that I really didn't like this silence, this lack of company. Hoping I had gotten a message from one of them, I sat down at my computer and fired it up. I stared vapidly at the illuminated screen as it took forever to turn on. I pointed at it groggily, "You stupid piece of junk." After awhile it was finally working and humming along. I clicked on the flashing envelope icon, and it pulled up a goofy picture of Mel and Jim on the beach....eating. I laughed quietly to myself. "They seem to be enjoying themselves...maybe I should have tagged along." "Maybe Melfina and I can go there by ourselves..." A naughty looked crossed my face, but quickly passed as the next virtual postcard picture popped on to the screen. I guffawed, causing my cheeks to puff up as I tired to control my laughter at the sight of Aisha looking totally crazy. I wiped my tear away and leaned back in my chair. "My friends are always good for a laugh..." My happiness however, dissipated as the realization that they were not here slowly sunk in, and wouldn't be coming home for a while. The loneliness started to get to me and I decided I needed to get out of the house for a while. I dragged myself to the bathroom and splashed a handful of cold water on to my face, then grabbed my coat and headed out the door. I wandered outside, taking in the night sky and walked quietly to the bar downtown. I entered and tilted my hand in a hello to the bartender, then took my usual seat. As I sipped my liquor I wished I had some company, someone to share my drunken humor with. Unfortunately no one approached me or even acknowledged my presence, so as the bar turned off its lights and the night gradually came to an end I walked back home, alone.
As I opened the door, revealing my dark and empty apartment, I noticed a dim light coming from my bedroom. Walking inside I realized that I had left my computer on in my apathetic state earlier today. I sat down and was about to shut it down when I noticed a small flashing icon down at the bottom of the screen. A video message? But who would video message me so late at night? I had gotten the virtual postcards from Aisha, Jim and Melfina and didn't expect anything from Suzuka. This was becoming stranger by the minute. "Oh well" I sighed, "There's only one way to find out." With that I double clicked the video camera shaped icon, and the video window popped open. "Gene I need your help! Save me!".....
