I'm back! Sorry it took so long, I was gone longer than expected.


Phage (Neelix)

It had been hard. Harder than anyone could possibly think.

Unable to move at all, trapped under a contraption which had been the only thing keeping him alive. His lungs gone and breathing through nothing but an illusion, an image made solid but only in that one position.

As an active person, he had been horrified once it really sunk in.

And now, here he was with a true lung, one of Kes's lungs, and he was moving again under his own steam.

He never wanted to be in that kind of horrid situation again.

The first time was enough.
