Our Angel of Brahma, pt. xiii-
I seem to have forgotten what part i am on for this story (EDIT: I FIGURED IT OUT!). Hmmm... To be transparent: I've been sitting on this part now for about a month and did not post it right away for various reasons. And while it is short, it is important all the same.

CW for: grief, death of major character
SOUND: COMMS BEEPS. RECORDING BEGINS. BAIRD (REVOLUTIONARY): (VERY TIRED) This week on Brahma: Ester fell down the stairwell and busted her chin open. Iris had to give her stitches, and stitching a three-year-old toddler’s bleeding chin is not an easy feat. Hank found a stray puppy in the street. The dog is in rough shape. Hank is determined to nurse it back to health though and train it to assist Talia. He said that if the dog lives, he plans on naming it Mischa. (BAIRD SIGHS) I’m sorry. I don’t have anything else to say. SOUND: COMMS BEEPS. RECORDING ENDS.
SOUND: COMMS BEEPS AGAIN. NEXT RECORDING BEGINS. WEAK VOICE: We miss you, Charlie. We should have celebrated you turning twenty-one few months ago, but instead– (WHEEZING) Instead, this week, Baird is turning nineteen without you, I still can’t walk, and Eber is gone. (HEAVY BREATHING) Iris says they have contacts in Saraswati. It’s where all the imports come from. Camilla is thinking about getting her and Eve off-planet. If they go, then that’s it. There’s no more Spades in Brahma. I miss you, Charlie. I wish… you were here. You’d know what to do to make Baird stop crying. Sometimes, I wish it was me, and not you. I’d trade places with you in less than a breath. SOUND: COMMS BEEPS. RECORDING ENDS.
Baird is: 1) tired and 2) 19. When I was that age, I was tired too. My mother was sick frequently, I didn’t know at the time but she was keeping a lot of secrets from me.
The WEAK VOICE = Talia? Only logical answer I have to go off of
Mischa = Dog that Hank found. Somehow, it still surprises me that there were still dogs running around the streets of Brahma. Then again, babies were still being born, and birthdays were still being celebrated. Life finds a way.
Baird mentions in later recordings that Camilla, Eber, and Evelyn are gone (“Decade”)
Questions:
What happened to Eber?
Did Camilla successfully get her and Evelyn off-planet through the Saraswati connections?
Who are the Saraswati Connections?
UPDATE: After further digging of my own, Osiris Cygnet was from Saraswati, liked to vacation on Mars at the Oasis Resort, and frequented New Kinshasa to “admire its architecture”. I recognize some of the building styles in the photos of New Kinshasa. They look very similar to the types of buildings on Akna (just outside of the Outer Rim) and Surya (just past Brahma in the Outer Rim).
Did Osiris have something to do with the Saraswati Connections? (Could help to explain why he had Baird’s Comms amongst his various other possessions in the storage unit.)
