Jeremy's worst day ever

[Jeremy Hunter]

"It wasn't a waste of time. And I do nothide behind my family." Jeremy stepped toward the pod. "You are wrong about that. You cannot know what I am, or how I act, or my motivation by pictures. I understand you and your kind better. The Iseijin, I see can be reasoned...no, you can't. You are no better than us. We seek you dead, you seek us. You say you are better, yet you don't want to try and open dialogue? That is just.pathetic then."

Jeremy turned his back to them.

"You mean let you infect us or die. And we fight to live. It may be your birthright, but for eight hundred years you were never seen. How could we know?"

Jeremy tapped his Wayfinder.

"I said I would try and leave the Iseijin off our targetting list. Now you're making me rethink that. I understand you better, and thus my hatred is stayed. Believe me or not, is not my choice."

Jeremy entered the pod.

"And with pleasure. Make sure your own arrogance is stayed. We all screw up; You are not an exception."

The pod left, and Jeremy fell asleep as the pod rocketed to Delta.

Tuvalu Orbit, one day later

The pod became caught in the gravity well. Jeremy didn't know; he was fast asleep.
