Between Worlds

[Caliban]

"Between Worlds"
...Two Days Later...

---

I made it out of that accursed place. Of course, I had to overcharge my ship's hyperspace matrix and burst a vein or something to do that. I can't exactly explain myself how everything worked. Just...close your eyes. Imagine yourself somewhere and concentrate enough to lock away any outside distraction. It felt like...what? Sensory deprivation? There was no sound, no visual input. I simply found myself at the edges of Omicron Alpha. It's how I traveled before in other worlds. Desolate places that must've seen better days before the Sentinels decided to visit.

Moments like these make me think about cause and effect. What if Vincent never knew of the Sentinels? What would happen then? Who'd take the spotlight in his stead? Raven? That kid, Laz? Probably the latter. Never really liked him, but he's got potential. Maybe if I prod him enough he'll realize it, too. I should be careful on that regard, though. Don't want him to turn instead into -- ...well. Me, for instance. Of course, this begs the question of who am I really? Trivial questions like these become an annoyance over time, because the second you realize who you are, everyone comes rushing towards you. Makes you repeat like a broken record.

Thankfully, I have enough freedom to avoid those questions, even if I am the one that asks. There are much more important matters to attend than my own 'spiritual improvement'.

I need to find The Harbinger. Put an end to that one. Or seek 'enlightenment'. I'll have to make a choice, but I don't know if I have the strength to do either after all He's done.
