[By the time he makes this, he'll have been gone for three days. He needed to check for himself to see that he had actually gotten what he needed. Once again, the Admiral came through.

So now he's certain of what he knew already. What the dinosaur world and the post-apocalyptic world tried to tell him. What that familiar ruined city, so much like planets after the Fall are like. Where law is for capitalists and hope to gain station in life is almost impossible.

He knew even before she graduated the time was coming to fix it. Now he has to face it head on. For now, he'll be blunt about it.]

My inmate has graduated. I'll be leaving in two weeks.

In the meantime, I want to find out everything possible that might rebuild any fallen world. Any government. Whatever can be offered, whatever records you have of your histories, I'll accept them.

[He won't say how nervous he is. A good part of this time is saying good-bye. He's terrified of how he's going to face a universe, especially one that's harmed him time and again, without a ship, family, or crew, and he has to remind himself he's going to make one.]

It will. So will yours.

...I understand. But if you change your mind, I'd make sure you went back with something for her.

Re: Private
I'll come if I can, Rhade. I will. I'll put someone else in charge of her for a few days, or something. I'm just...I'm gonna miss you so fuckin' bad.

[She sniffs and clears her throat, before steadying her voice.]

I'm sorry. I've never been good at handling this...but I am happy for you.

To be honest, I've never been the one to walk away.

[And he sounds so uncertain.]

I've been afraid of doing it for a long time. I don't know how to tell someone I don't want to leave them. Not really, and I'm not ever going to replace them.

Re: Private
Neither have I. I can let go, a little, and move on, but only if I'm the one staying behind. I don't know how to walk away.

[She laughs a little, trying to not drag down what Rhade should be proud of.]

So you've got a leg up on me already, just by doing it anyway. I know you can do this shit. You're a strong person.
