It had to be right. No matter what happened, no matter who many died, it still was the right thing to do. How many people had he seen die in this last year? Dozens? Hundreds? Thousands? And right now, what was left of his little world, his family of renegades? Had the Jem Had'ar tracked them down and slaughtered them like so much livestock? Or had the Cardies found them? He shuddered at an image that crossed his mind often, of Rebecca being raped to death by the damn scaly monsters. For Rebecca. For their children to have the opportunity to grow up without war. So that they could be free, free in mind, body and spirit. Free from the invisible chains that held the people Federation imprisoned in their own selves. If, no, when he got out of here, he'd show them all, that the highest duty a man had was to follow his dreams, and the greatest honor was to turn one's back on Paradise. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ ASCEM messages are copied to a mailing list.
