Biz just appeared one day. taught us how to fight economically, intelligently. Oh... Sparky, you should have seen us. Fireballing refineries by night, dutiful clean-up crew during the day. My job was to get people believing in us. Believing we could change things.

That got more people killed than anything Zuud and her sisters could have hoped to make.

That's where you go in, assess the damage and clean up. 'I can't seal off Deck 12. Deck 12 is where I live.

Biz saved me from a swabbing latrines on Phobos. He made me what I am. But only because I left before I became what he was.

Now... now I have to go back. Everything Jubb knew... Biz had to know. Eudi had to know. They, and everyone in Fortuna, could be proper beached if I didn't. Pencilnecks like Jubb don't risk their hide unless they mean it. Whatever Nef was doin' with those Orb Mothers would be a hammer on the head of SU. Had to go back. If I didn't, if something happened to Fortuna, I'd never sleep proper again.

So. No more treasure hunting for LD. No more rescues. Back to where it all happened, and hope that this time it wasn't burning, and me along with it.

Then she was there. VK-7. In front of my hab, waiting, looking at me with more intelligence than any kavat should have. And she dropped keys at my feet. The keys to the security center.

It was I who opened the door to Sigor's cell. Who watched as VK-7 dispatched Sigor's would-be executioner, a Corpus I had often worked with in Reclamation 3. It was I who ensured one cargo pod in particular was replotted, to intercept an outbound Solaris rail tractor. It was I who sealed multiple bulkheads, to stem the flow of troopers meaning to end them both.

A sculptor sees the shape within the rock. Their skill lies in removing anything that is not that shape, delivering something beautiful and lasting into the world.

I was a sculptor, of sorts. Modest. My task was the considered removal of those who obscured the shape of what we wanted to be. With their deletion a just society came into clearer focus.

Small actions lead to powerful outcomes. One example: a young man is repoed, and Eudico resurrects the resistance.

Wise conservation is all about understanding... patterns. Cause and effect. When orchestrating change in an ecosystem, ask: how will the system reconfigure in response to this new species. New forests? Redirected rivers? Diverse and beneficial new breeds? It is all connected.

It was Legs' punishment that inspired Eudico to resurrect Solaris United. Lean and wise, it is time for the hungry, furious wolf to enter the woods. For the Corpus to receive a selective nd beneficial extinction.

A small price to pay. A young man's body. An old man's soul.

Used to be every time an old love ended and a new one began, friends would say "You seem so much happier now." And I'd smile and I'd agree and then I'd go back to my hab... and say your name. Just to feel it on my lips again. Like summoning a ghost.

We met in unspoken agreement. You called me by the name of the one who had hurt you. My name for you was the name of the one who had wounded me. We played the part for each other. When I spoke, I spoke for them. Through you I told the one who had wounded me all the little things I never had the chance to. Cooked them all the meals I never got to share. Made all the jokes. Laughed all the laughs. With them, through you. And you, with yours, through me.

Then, one day, you called me by my own name and we never looked back.

There's a dream I have every now and then. You are you, in your own first body. And I am there in mine. I stand on the shore. You stand in the sea. I watch as the waves roll in, but never break against your back. They whisper right through you, and you fade away from me. Again.

I still have your glove. Just the one. The only thing I have left of you. In quiet moments I lay it on my lap, lace my fingers through yours, and make promises.

I promised that what happened to you would never happen to another.

Promises. I couldn't keep.

I sold my arms to buy you and arm. I sold my legs to buy you a leg. I sold my lungs, my bones, my heart... to buy a safe place to cradle your beautiful head. I bought you back from them. I brought you back to me. You in the body I had bought for you, me in the body I had earned to replace the one I sold.

But you weren't you. Not anymore.

Sat so long on the Taxman's shelf, you barely knew who you were. And you certainly didn't know me.

The goodbyes I said decades earlier... they stuck.

These days you work the canal with few memories of who you were. And I'm in the business of keeping promises.
