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.

Re: Reactions
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.
