*Jean watches the news, having woke up at an obscene time in the morning, and then tilts his head.*
Jean: What?
Newsman: Several bodies were found this evening in an abandoned section of the station. Autopsies reveal that they died from a device implanted inside their brains. More at six.
*It plays the usual outro music, and Jean sits back.*

Clara *Tired*: Jean...?
*Clara is leaning on the doorway, tired, wearing a white vest intentionally 2 sizes too big.*
Charon: Nothing... This is the only way to end this before more people die.
Silas: Charon you knew this would get messy and bloody when you started this.. You have not been the same since that little incident... So please. We need the old Charon.. We need the Charon that can get around this..

Charon: That was when we knew the Orions wouldn't resort to butchering innocent people - to blowing up starports and weapons depots. Now we know that Tri'an will crush us if she gets an opportunity and an excuse.
Every time we send out raids from now on, they'll run the risk of being traced back here and getting us glassed from orbit. We have 12,000 people here, SIlas. Some of them children.

*He rubs his shoulders, getting a chill.*

Jean: I don't know. It was just one of those 'More at a certain time' things.
*He sighs and leans his head back, looking at the ceiling.*
Jean: I never expected anything like this to happen to me...
Clara: Me neither...
*She walks over to the replicator, tapping at the controls.
She walks over to Jean-Luc, pulling the tag out of the back of his collar before releasing it.
She finishes typing into the replicator.*

*He looks at her, his head tilted in confusion.*

Clara: You said you wanted me to teach you to not get your TRIBBLE kicked, and you not being able to take care of yourself kinda got us kidnapped.

Clara: Relax, Jean, I'll go easy on you.
*She smiles at him warmly as she walks up to him.*
