Memories: Out of the Veil, our Goodbyes

Faesa did it, just in time. Now the Geth in the Veil will be alerted. I got to the Drive Core and began manual activation. The Core was massive, and I did everything I had to. It was turning on again, we still had a chance. Then I called Faesa:

"Are you close to the Bridge?" I could hear her heavy breathing, she was running.

"Yes, going in now. You'd better hold on in something."

I followed her advice. But even doing it I still got flying off when the ship moved. The barriers were holding against the asteroids, but every impact and the ship trembled. We got out of the belt quick, but once again the ship trembled. This time Faesa called me:

"The Geth are shooting at us!" The asteroid belt really provided good cover.

"Just enter FTL. Go to the Relay, they will not follow us if we use it." They won't leave the Veil.

She did as I said. After we used the Relay we were safe. The Geth would not pursue us beyond the Veil. Now we were on our way to Raheel Leyya, in the Vallhallan Threshold, where the Migrant Fleet was.

Matias boarded the Anqmaar in the Ship Bay. We were all in the Bridge. The ship was closing in the Fleet. Matt was the first to celebrate.

"We did it, I can't believe it but we really did it!" It was a surprise for all of us.

"I told you we could do it, didn't I?" She was like Matt, still processing the fact only three persons stole a Carrier.

"And you were right. How right."

They were talking every detail of the mission. They didn't even noticed when I left to the pilot seat. How different it was from my little ship. I could pilot it for a few moments before we were close to the Flotilla. The talking stopped, Faesa was at my side. I said:

"I can't go further, they wouldn't accept us, or how we helped you." She knew I was right.

"They will never know what you did."

"It's your Pilgrimage, I did it for you, don't worry about me." I knew that was the last time I was going to see her in a long time.

"Sorry Samuel. I have to go, stay in the fleet, and look out for my people. I know you wanted to live the rest of your life with me, you can, but I have to do this first. And I promise you, we will live our lives together, you just have to wait."

"And I will wait. I will see you again, I promise too…"

I went to the Ship Bay with Matt, got out with my ship. Only after ten years I saw her again, but this time we were going to be together, like we promised…
