Subject: "Uh, could I say something here?"
In reply to: Mercado 's message, ""An impassioned plea, friend-Rana..."" on 07:07:59 08/13/01 Mon

Chris stood with some difficulty, bracing himself on the chair which had vanished along with him and the others when Rana whisked them away swiftly and silently. As the blood rushed to his head he forced the pounding away; he would NOT faint before he said his piece. For once, he hoped he'd be as strong as his brother had been.

"Listen...Mercado, is it? I think calling your partner is a good idea. I think going back to the NOVA*Beacon is a GREAT idea. But if I understood you right, you're putting a lot of blind faith in this guy...and if he's what Grey-man says he is...

I was ON the SP Boardhopper when it blew up. I saw the WR@ firsthand. If this guy was anything more than an unwilling victim, and believe me I fought enough of my own crewmates to know what that's like, but if he was....we can't trust him. He hasn't done anything to prove anything, and sooner or later Captain Magnum is going to miss us. I agree that we belong back at the ship, but I hope you know what you're doing by staying with h-him."


Chris was shaking now, from the intense cold or a lack of inner fortitude he did not know, but he stood firm and returned the wizard's angry gaze. His thoughts turned the stalemate at hand.

"You wouldn't back down in a bad situation like this, would you Johnny? Well, neither am I. This guy doesn't scare me...wwith Grey-man and Mercado backing me up, I'm not afraid. Maybe I'm not as brave as you were facing trouble alone, but maybe you'd still be alive if you'd depended on a friend or two once in a while.

We're going to be alright..."


Chris shook more, less convinced of the last thought than he'd hoped to be...
