Cut the comms. Resist the urge to kill Cephie, she's not our enemy until Magnus arrives. He and the Plague are our true enemies for now.

(Good grief, people. I set my laptop aside for the day, and I come back to this?)

She loves you.

[16 vs 10]
...

...

...

"I'm going to kill you." You rasp gently, facing Cephie. She flinches, but then grits her teeth.

 "Do it. Make it quick oathbrea-"

"I'm going to kill you Magnus."

You cut the comms-- the console explodes in a burst of flames as Magnus laughs. "Dismissed. Keep up the good work, you damn cannib--"

We need to pull out all the stops.

Heal.

"Cephie, get me another console and pay the Captain for this one... with your own money.  I'm not going to hurt you, okay?"

I'm so sorry, Φοίβη.

Heal

Is the comms device broken? I think we ended the communication without breaking it.

[14] Your wounds are deep, but they slowly begin to scab over as you focus your will upon your flesh. You grit your teeth as you pull yourself back together and regain your composure. With shaky breaths, you exhale, looking at Cephie. Anger still twists into your heart, hard and sharp. Uncertainties, doubts, jealousies, fears all pour through you as you stare down the other Ascended.

"Get me another console from the-" You turn your attention away, towards the charred console and the bloody armor laying on the floor at the foot of the desk. There's a pool of your dark, almost black blood, dripping into the gouged and rent floor.

"You're insane." Cephie whispers, gently. She hesitates, pressing a hand to your bloodstained face. "Lay down and rest. Please."

...she's right. No need for apologies-- but she's right.
There is one concern still to address.


Lie down. "My nano-feasts."
"In twenty-four hours... Nicole Gainer will blow this vessel apart... if I do not rejoin her before then. That must not happen."

Oh shit, will Cephie be able to swim while carrying us as we sleep? Oh wait, it shouldn’t take...how long have we been on the ship?

Rest now, but tomorrow, think on how Magnus can be dealt with.  He is a threat to you, this planet, and everything you hold dear.

Eat Nani Ration
Tell Cephie about Nicole’s “rescue” plan of blowing the place up in 24 hours, then rest

Cephie nods, pulling a feast from her pouch and pressing it to your lips. You swallow it down, slumping back as nutrients rush back into your bloodstream. The faintness you feel slowly begins to fade, the world sharpening. You glance down, at your shaking hand. With a deep breath, you rest a hand on your head. Trying to stop the spins as you feel faint once more.

"You made Magnus happy." Cephie murmurs, with a sigh. "That's hard to do. Thanks, I guess...but...look at you. You're a mess. I thought you were going to kill me there. I'm glad you didn't."

"Me...too." You murmur. Another pill is produced from a pouch, with a moon printed on it. She pops it into her mouth, then offers you one.

"For the trauma. Everything will fade -- you'll feel like it was just a bad dream."
