Soft touches and simple words were enough to make my heart stutter and stop. Her eyes were always so lively, full of love and a gentleness that I could only hope to draw in my dreams. Her embrace took me by surprise each and every time, for I wasn’t used to such caring gestures. She was everything I ever needed. Everything I ever wanted.

When we set off to reach the stars together, I was ecstatic. To land onto Polus was the endgame; we’ve been training together for years to complete this mission. In fact, our first kiss was in the middle of a sparring match. I still remember how much I blushed afterwards. Anyways, I’m getting ahead of myself. That was the past – and this is the present. This is my endgame.

We started on The Skeld, where everything went perfectly. Everyone did everything by the books – we all bonded as a team. Of course, I had thought of the consequences of taking on this job, and took it in stride. In fact, I had us up and running in a little under a week when we had broke down on that planet. We were well on our way to Mira HQ.

The trip didn’t take too long; in fact it took only about a month. My lover and I became closer. She knew almost everything about me (hey – a girl’s gotta keep a secret), and I, her. That’s why I knew something was going wrong in the first place – how I knew before the first emergency meeting was called. I always suspected that the trip to Polus could turn darkside – and it did. Blue was missing for a week before someone had watched the cameras and saw them being ejected into space.

I had broken down that night, while my lover held me tight and whispered sweet nothings in my ear. What if she was next? What would I do if she was gone? I would be nothing without her – I was convinced. I decided, right then and there, that I would protect her with my life.

We landed on Polus that next morning.

Dropship first – then go to the office. Meet her at the cameras and maybe give her a kiss or two. Run to the Specimen Room. This was how my first day on Polus was supposed to go – if I didn’t run into my lover in decontamination. She was coughing this morning, but I had thought nothing of it. Until, in the gaseous room, her coughing turned into hacking. I had layed a hand on her back, but she pushed me away. Her strength was nothing that I had ever felt before. The walls cracked behind me and the room flashed red. As she turned black eyes onto me – I knew that this was my end.

I embraced her with open arms, and took the betrayal in happily. If I were to leave this world, I would gladly have it be done by her hands.
