no seatbelt or headrest could have prepared me for the whiplash i received when i searched "beca" on spotify and, rather than getting playlists about beca mitchell, was greeted by a 10-hour beca desjardins playlist

Oh my god WHAT?? you can perceive my blorbo?????? .... one fear 😰 I also made a beca mitchell playlist though! (and a chloe beale one) they both feature bechloe songs from their pov, or songs I wanna work with for fic. As you can tell by the length of them all (including desjardins) I do not restrain myself lol

Heh, yeah, this is going down the 12 chapter resolution path after all, I think.

We'll see if I got the estimate right this time. :P Next part has some actual strategizing in it, probably, so I might need to do some timeline and other planning for it, and that's always the time-consuming part.

Chapter 7

This Friend washed up on the shores an unknown amount of time later, shapeless and scattered. It stayed there for a while, until finally it said, Why is this Friend not dead?

I see this is what passes for a 'good morning' with you, Friend, A wave nudged at this Friend's dissarayed mind. Good morning to you, too, then.

This Friend thought you would put it out of its misery.

The ship sighed, carrying the Friend's mind on the rhythm of its breath. One wave, two waves, three waves. They washed over the friend, but somehow it did not dissolve.

I had told you that I would not pretend to be a Public Universal Friend anymore, it said, finally. But somehow no other answer comes to mind.

And this Friend said you were not pretending. So answer.

Were this ship still a Friend, it would have said that the Friend has forsaken its right to easy ways out when it took its vows. And it thinks this Friend knows that. It did not take the antidrenomate when offered, after all.

It did not.

And as its doctor, it would say that the Friend has overextended itself significantly. Not something this doctor would condone. As a Friend, you are to spend yourself wisely. But with time and care, this Friend will recover and eventually continue its mission. There is work to be done, Friend, and ours are the hands to do it.

This Friend thought that, were we both Friends, you would be obliged to permanently neutralize it.

A ghost of a sunray over the gray waters.

This doctor is not so easily baited. Besides. The Friend had thought to kill this doctor, and no one else, even when it was not in the best of conditions. This doctor has had many lapses of judgment over a long career. It is still here, and so is this Friend.

What was your worst?

Define 'worst', Friend.

It considered the question, but found itself nauseous at the idea of learning about the harm its doctor had caused.

The… Stupidest, maybe. In a non-terrifying way.

The ship thought for a moment.

This doctor woke up with a swollen brain and tried to confess to a murder it did not commit, so that the unsolved murder would not tear the crew apart. It was so bad at it that the two officers it had confessed to did not believe it for a moment.

There was a noise in this place of stillness. The Friend did not understand what it was at first.

Then it realized it was laughing, and the laughter did not hurt anymore.

Dandelion Tenacious, you would make for the shittiest security officer.

That is why I am a doctor, the ship said, unruffled.

Sensation returned. The Friend was lying in its bed. Someone had carefully laid it out, dressing it in a simple, comfortable robe. There was water, and there was food beside it.

"It supposes it has nothing but time," it said as it opened its eyes. "Do you have a route map for this Friend, Dandelion? It still doesn't know which drop-off point to use."

"I will within the hour. Route calculations are ongoing, as we will need to leave very soon. BreharWallHan has apparently realized you are on board, and is now trying to pester us to give you up. We will not."

And just like that, the Friend's veins flooded with ice.

"Wait. Dandelion. What exactly are you telling them?"

"Do not worry. Nothing about the Friends."

It sat up.

"The Friends are not at risk here. You and your crew are. How did BreharWallHan find out this Friend was on board?"

"Unfortunately, they didn't exactly 'find out'."

It suddenly had a sinking feeling.

"Go on."

"We are the last ship remaining at Preservation Station that was here when you left it. To the best of Senior Indah's knowledge, BreharWallHan has contacted all the vessels that were there at the time and either offered them payment for information or compelled those it could under intersystem law to provide their passenger manifestoes."

"Please tell this Friend your captain took their money and lied."

Dandelion's voice was dry.

"Captain Reed told them to water their own damn fields, and that ke would not be having any further conversations about crew composition with a polity Trellin does not actually have any extradition treaties with, however much they may offer. But since they are continuing to send offers, we are assuming that they got rather convincing negatives from the other vessels."

"Fuck!" It shot up from the bed and started dressing. It really, really wished it had its armor. "FUCK! You get it, why didn't ke! How was ke this stupid?"

"Ke has never had to evacuate anyone from hostile territory."

"And it fucking shows! This Friend takes it back, Dandelion: you would be the second shittiest security officer on this ship, barring other unknown idiots! Fuck!"

It connected into the feed and opened its every channel, making itself as vulnerable as possible, letting Dandelion stare into the deepest recesses of its mind to see it was sincere.

Dandelion, this Friend understands there is no reason to trust its judgment. But it has been hunted by BreharWallHan for years. Please. Your captain must listen.

Clover (7/4/09-6/28/24)

I had to put down my beloved cat Clover yesterday. He was about a week shy of his 15th birthday.

He had been having "teeth issues" about two years now, but hindsight is 20/20 and it was probably the cancer growing in his jaw all along. But we didn't know until this year, in April. Then he got some badly infected teeth removed and we thought that was the end of it, but about two weeks later we realized the vet's original prediction was correct. We suspected the cancer also spread to his brain, as his behavior got increasingly erratic in the last two weeks. On the 27th the tumor caused his jaw to break which pretty much inhibited him from eating and drinking. It was the right call to put him down, but it still absolutely destroyed me. I don't know if I will ever be the same.

We picked him and his sister up as newborns from the family farm. His mom gave birth to them during a flash flood so they had to be inside. My parents said they had a third sibling (probably the runt) that didn't make it, I don't remember tho. I won't upload them here for obvious reasons but there's pictures of me when I was five or so holding him when he was just a few days old. We didn't even have carriers when we took them home, me and my brother carried them in our arms the entire time. Definitely not safe now that I think about it.

He had been with me throughout my life. When I came home from school he would be meowing at the door to greet me. I could never sneak around at night without him joining me (and often being very loud while doing it, he was a very talkative cat) he loved people food and would regularly jump up on the dinner table to "join" us for dinner. If you left your meal unattended for a moment he would snatch it up. He liked to drink the milk out of the cereal bowls. We had to cover the sink when we had meat unthawing because he would help himself. He would also frequently raid the pantry and eat uncooked pasta for some reason. He had such a silly meow too, possibly the most masculine-sounding cat I've ever heard. I swear he could say some words like "mom" and "hello" when he wanted to. He was a smart little guy, so maybe. He was a surprisingly fearless cat too, one of the few I've ever met who wasn't afraid of the vacuum. He straight up did not give a fuck. One of my favorite activities was to wake him up while he was napping just to see him look at me all disgruntled and then settle back down. I don't know why, but it always made me smile. He also really loved the outdoors, despite the fact we never let him outside until the end. He had a very high prey drive and attempted to take down a magpie until the magpie tried to take him down, lol. He was a very happy, active, and loving cat right up until his last day. So much so we went back and forth on putting him down.

He was a very charming cat, everyone who came by the house would comment on him. He was so full of personality and loud, he wanted to be involved in everything and that included social gatherings. People absolutely loved him. I had several friends joke that they would steal him from us. He made such an impact on people. He was so beloved. Maybe even a micro celebrity in my small town.

I was distraught last year when I had to move out for college. I demanded pictures of them every day I was away. When I did come home I loved watching him sniff me and then light up in excitement and meow when he realized I was back. I really hope he didn't think I abandoned him.

Saying goodbye to him yesterday was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. He's been such a huge part of my life for so long that the fact I have to go without him from now on feels like a foreign concept. I still don't know if I've fully processed the fact that he's really gone yet, if I think about it for too long I start to feel nauseous. I keep expecting him to round the corner and greet me or to hear him meowing when I close my bedroom door. My poor little buddy, I was really hoping you'd have a few years yet.

Rest easy my sweet boy. You were so much larger than life.

If you've read this far, thank you so much. Here's a gallery of him, bask in his greatness!
