#7: The Letter
Celtic displayed the typed letter on the main screen. Everyone on the bridge scanned the letter.
Dear Capitan Magno and other crew of the 'Nirvana':
I have done the only thing I could think of to save anything I have been fighting for over the past 2 years. By this, I mean to preserve the lives of you and your crew. If I allowed you to join me in the fight against Cage, my life would not be the only one to be lost. To tell the truth, Cage has been out there all this time, tracking my progress, waiting until I had so much on my plate that if he chose to strike, I would have to engage. He is my twin, and being so, has a bond that is reasonably amplified by the powers of Paexis flowing through us. In effect, I can feel that this is a fight I could not win at full strength, much less at the state I'm in now. Because he is of the "good" side of the spectrum, I have convinced him to allow you to leave, which will show you why I made it seem as if I betrayed you. I must apologise, but I felt that if I made it so that you could avoid the massive carnage to come, it will in some small way help to atone for the troubles I have put you through during my stay's on your fine vessel. Sorry for any trouble I have cuased with this newest lie, but I see that you all have the potential that need not be squandered by a idiot like me.
Sincerely,
Jack Spencer
A Gasp issued from many on the bridge as they reached they finished reading.
"Well, this certainly does shine a new light on this, doesn't it?" B.C. stated bluntly. "I guess we should stop being surprised by things like this by now. What are we going to do, Captain." The captain scratched her chin thoughtfully.
The end of chapter 8, probably only 2 more chapters left.
