It was very cold. So she was either going to freeze to death or smother, whichever came first. Great. Why was she even bothering to conserve air. Maybe she should just use up the air and get it over with. But, she couldn't. Beka didn't want to die and she knew it. Especially in this way, helpless. She'd always pictured herself going down fighting. Well, she had been chasing 'the big score' so to speak. So maybe, in a way, she was going down fighting, albiet in a different way than she'd always pictured.

Freezing to death or smothering. Hey, what a choice. When you froze to death, you did at least get the illusion of being warm. Maybe that was better.

'O.K. Beka. Stop it. You know what's going down. Don't dwell on it. Maybe you'd better say your good byes. In your mind at least. Because they're never going to find you, not even your body. So, you're going to be alone forever. I said stop it Beka. Stop thinking about it. Just say good bye to them.

Dylan. Thanks for everything. You were more help to me than you will ever know because i certainly wasn't going to tell you. I'm going to miss you. Keep on with that Commonwealth thing. Yes, you drove me crazy at times but, it was an honor to have been a part of your crew.

Andromeda. You're a great ship. I'm glad I got to serve on you. And Rommie. Thanks for saving my life.

Rev. I know you'll pray for me. I don't believe in what you believe but, you do. That's good enough for me. And it was nice to have someone like you in my life. I really needed it at times.

Tyr. What can I say? It's certainly been interesting working with you. Never a dull moment.

Trance. Looks like my luck just ran out. My good luck charm. Thought it would last forever. Guess not. It wasn't your fault so don't go blaming yourself. Go be Harpers good luck charm. He'll need it with those Magog eggs inside him.

So, now I come to Harper. It's your turn now. Last but not least. I just saved the best for last. Harper. My death isn't your fault either. I made this decision. Sure, we were in it together but, I had to go for it like I always do. Just go on with Dylan. He's your best bet for happiness. You deserve it.

Hell, you all do. I'm going to miss you all.
Sorry I won't be around to see what happens. I do know that if anyone can rebuild the Commonwealth and defeat the Magog, it's Dylan. he's just crazy enough. Yeah, I can say that I did kind of start to believe in it. Now that it's too late. Who am I kidding? I wouldn't have told him to his face, anyway. Got to keep my reputation for being a cynic intact.

But hey, I'm on my way out. So, why not admit it, at least to myself. So there, I have.

Wonder, if someday, years or even centuries from now, someone will stumble across me and wonder who I was? I bet I'll be well preserved.'

With that happy thought, tears started to flow. Beka angrily brushed them away. There was no way she was going to die with tears frozen on her cheeks. No way.
