OOC: I’m moving Reira from the Viking to the Leviathan. I’ve really enjoyed my time on the Viking but some of the OG gang is on there and I think it’d be appropriate themeatically if I joined them. I’m really proud of what you’re all doing here and I think it’s great, I promise I’ll return soon with a new character for the new Viking!

IC: It was hard… Very hard, to admit this. But if the rumors were true, he had to go.

“Computer, begin recording a personal message to deliver to Captain Asam in 30 minutes, initiate audio dictation.” The drone began, tapping at the controls. “Initiating dictation protocols.” The computer responded, beeping.

“To Captain Asam, this is Lieutenant Junior Grade Reira Akaba, Science Divison. I’m sending you this message as to clear some things up about what I’m going to do. I’ve received some intelligence about individuals very close and dear to me. John McHarrie, my former romantic partner is alive and I have a possible location. Kara Nakuto, my former captain and several others I was and hopefully still am very close to are on a ship, USS Leviathan. I intend to go there and find them, for there are many things we left unresolved. Your hospitality and kindness to me isn’t forgotten, but staying here puts you as a target for my father to attack. To ask you to continue harboring me is like asking you to fight him. This new Viking is wonderful, but I’m old. It’s been many years since I joined it the first time, I’ve always considered it a safe haven… I’m resigning from my post as I don’t want you and your crew to get caught up in the destruction my presence seems to bring. You’re safe from Section 31 so long as I am not here, and that’s what I want. I don’t want anyone else to get hurt or killed because of me.” This was harder than it seemed, he was audibly choking up.

“This is my final report, I will depart in the Nova Luna. One day, I shall come back. Yes, I shall come back… Until then, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties. Just go forward in all your beliefs, and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine.” Pressing the button to send the message, he finished packing and began to walk down to the shuttle bay where the Nova Luna was, sending a command through his cortical node to reactive all systems.
