Billy draws his emotions back into equilibrium, smiling at his friend.
"Then I'll share one more thing with you." Something that feels like Stacy filters into their experience, and Billy's more recent memories start to guide through. Waking up in the slime, cold and alone. Meeting his newer friends. Long days in Engineering. Attempts at improving his combat abilities. And, with a wave of embarrassment, the time he nearly got his team on an away mission killed with a hallucinogenic plant. Many of the memories are happy, though, tinged with silent awe of the expanse of the universe.
That's there too---the dream of exploring vast new worlds that he'd carried with him since childhood.
