Dust in the Wind [Open!]

|| Attention, crew, Attention. All personnel who wish to attend the funeral of Howard Bassem and Cedric Diggory, please report to the Observation Deck. ||

Once again, the Observation Deck is prepared for a sending-off of the dead. A hard pod containing Howard's body sits in the center of the room, with a much smaller pod containing Cedric's wand sitting beside it. The observation window is open, showing the attending crew a stunning view of a nearby fiery red star: the final resting place of the two fallen crew members.

Before the launch, though, there are goodbyes to be said.

Cedric.

Fuu shut her eyes, though it did nothing to stem the flow of tears as Kaya spoke. She didn't feel as though she had the right to give a eulogy herself... she had liked Cedric. He had been all of those things; Fuu remembered clearly how she had found him during the end of SHODAN's terror, attacking robots and power dampeners with a handgun. Yes, he had been very brave, and kind.

She had wanted to teach him archery. She had even borrowed a tape measure from the shop so she could find out how big of a beam bow he would need....

"Goodbye, Mr. Diggory. I'm sorry." Sorry that she hadn't known him better, sorry that she couldn't give him a fitting eulogy, sorry for his friends here and whoever would be waiting for him in the pods.
