The Burning Skull Rises

“When you started that little coup of yours, we managed to escape Vespucci. The plan was to stay hidden until things cooled off. And I actually believed that it’d work out like that. But it was not to be.” She sighed and began to walk around in the command room. “I trusted my crew. I believed that they were the Legion’s best and most loyal soldiers. I was clearly mistaken.”

“More than half of my crew tried to take over the ship. They wanted to take my ship away from me, they wanted to end my existence.” She stopped after that sentence and remained silent for a minute. “I erased them, all of them. They were fighting those that were still loyal to me and I sat here in this room thinking about a way to end this madness.”
She then started to grin. “I realized something. I really didn’t belong into the Legion, it really took me so long to realize that...I’m not from Liberty, and to be honest, I no longer care about what happens to it. I no longer care about the Legion.”

“That’s what I thought back then. And with that thought, I simply deactivated the life support systems of some decks...and I didn’t care that it would kill my own men as well. The brave and loyal soldiers that fought against the rebels in order to protect me. Many people died that day...and it was all because of me." She then stopped for a minute and continued to wander around in the command room. Cristina seemed rather restless in that particular moment. “You know, I actually enjoyed it...erasing all those existences, it was glorious. And now you’re trying to tell me that the Legion needs a person like that? Have you lost your mind, Lord Commander?”
