It is much cooler here in the armory. It feels nice. I don’t know how long I’ve been here, but I’m feeling much better, now.

Carmen came in here a little while ago. I was huddled up and sobbing at the time, and I must have looked pretty sorry. She asked me what was wrong.

“I … I don’t know.”

“We found Sheila. She had gotten turned around in the tunnels. She’s all right. I ran back to the bridge to check on you and let you know, but you were gone. I was worried.”

“Thanks. Thanks. I … That’s good about Sheila.”

“Are you okay? Is there anything I can do for you?”

“No, I’m … I don’t know. I’m hungry. I haven’t eaten in a long time.”

“We all are hungry. I’m sorry about that. Siegfried is pretty sure he’s close to fixing the Core Drive. He said it may take him a few days, but he thinks he knows the problem now. We’ll be out of here soon.” Carmen put a hand on my shoulder.

“No … no … no … no …” I think this is what I said, or something equally moronic.

“Hey, I’ve got to get back to the bridge. I’ll be there if you want to talk.”

She turned to leave.

“Wait, Carmen.”

“Yes?”

“I’ve been having these dreams. But I’m afraid to talk about them with Siegfried. I’m afraid he’ll just think I’m weak or say I’m worrying about nothing. But it’s not nothing.”

She sat down next to me. “Tell me about them,” she said.

And I brought Carmen into my confidence, so to speak, and she will not share my secrets with Siegfried; I am fairly certain of it.
