[ loss is ugly. there is no part of the experience, for either party, that is anything less. it is panic and fear, it is pain, and frustration- the distilled bitterness and concentrated bad of human experience. carolyn's intentions are noble, spock has never doubted this. she has a shadow to her eyes- one he has seen more times than he would desire to. ghosts that cannot be outrun. ]

There is not.
But it is not a failure on your part.

[ There are bodies behind her that are her fault, people she had been willing to let die to live. She had failed but so many of them had died anyway, all but three -- and according to Riddick, two died after she had. He's the only one left, the one she died for despite everything she'd been told and everything he'd said and done.

And he's the one telling her she's wasting her time (and maybe hidden under that is a message, that she'll end up dead again, but Carolyn doesn't hear it.) ]

This place makes me remember why I preferred small crews.
