Epilogue

Personal Log: star date 65.57.992.

It has been a week since I destroyed the space station called Ilion. After I escaped the station, and made sure I wasn't being tracked, I took Lakia to the world I was raised upon called Revon. I didn't want to allow him to sleep, but he wasn't supposed to be here in this world, and after talking with him for some time, though I felt as if I were speaking with a ghost, I didn't mind allowing him to sleep once again. I will not speak of this ritual aloud however because it against the Chozo beliefs to speak of it after it has been done.

I realized while talking with Lakia however that I remembered when my eggs had been extracted for the same reason he remembered his life before the scientists had cloned him. Though it's technical, it has to do with the Chozo DNA I was infused with.

I feel so detached from things lately. After seeing Lakia and what the scientists did on the Station, I haven't quit felt myself, but Lakia told me not to fear because these things always pass, and Lakia is one person whom I trust, even in death. I know I'll heal soon, but until then I've taken a leave of my work indefinitely.

My sister Kylie was more than likely killed on Ilion Station. I received a transmission from Kylie herself who had sent the message before the station was destroyed. She told me that in order to prove herself to me, she would do whatever it took. She went on to say that her ship had malfunctioned and so she was sending me the message in hopes that I would receive it, and then she would try to make it to an escape pod in time, but she doubted there would be any left because there was only a minute left until the destruction of the station. She wanted me to know she never meant any ill will.

As for myself, I have severed all ties with the Galactic Federation. I will not work for someone who isn't to be trusted, and I'm sure this will repeat itself should I do anything else for the Federation.

On a personal note, I have realized more so now than ever who I am and what I am. I have taken to heart the fact that I was meant to make things right, even at the expense of my own happiness. I only hope that one day I'll be able to see how my work has paid off for myself. But for now, I will wait, and I will wonder what's out there for me.
