And just like that, we were both heading off to the stars together.
|
||||
|
||||
I still ended up in the lower decks. Mr. Walsh assured me I would
|
||||
be easily reachable if he needed anything. He mostly seemed
|
||||
put-out by the whole thing. I gladly took the chance to stay out
|
||||
of his way.
|
||||
|
||||
The trip to IO took a leisurely five days. On the third day, Mr.
|
||||
Walsh The Second delivered the signed contract to me. He didn't
|
||||
say much but I sensed something different in that dead gaze of his.
|
||||
Had Judy already run him through our plan?
|
||||
|
||||
On the fourth day, Judy visited me. She told me to get off the
|
||||
shuttle with them in IO and then to pretend I was going to extend
|
||||
my stay there. She and the Walshes would be making the return trip
|
||||
three days later, after Mr. Walsh concluded his business. I was
|
||||
instructed to sneak onto that return shuttle. That's where the
|
||||
whole thing was going to go down.
|
||||
|
||||
I was instructed to do a lot of things, but I wasn't listening to
|
||||
what she was saying. I was drinking up that Honeysuckle voice of
|
||||
hers. I couldn't help myself, I pulled her close and kissed her.
|
||||
|
||||
She kissed me back, but not with her usual vigour. She seemed
|
||||
preoccupied. I let her go. She told me she couldn't stay long.
|
||||
She told me she was sorry. She told me all I had to do was stick
|
||||
to the plan and we would be together soon. She told me, "Plenty of
|
||||
time for all that other stuff later".
|
||||
|
||||
That was our last kiss.
|
||||
|
||||
Maybe you won't believe me when I tell you this, but I never slept
|
||||
with her, not properly. We spent many nights together, we held
|
||||
each other tightly. That was enough for me. I wanted more, yes,
|
||||
but I was willing to wait. She was shy. It seemed strange for an
|
||||
android to be shy about those things, especially one programmed for
|
||||
love. It might seem peculiar to you that a guy could be with a
|
||||
sex-robot and just be happy with the companionship, the love, but I
|
||||
was. Anyway, I always thought we would be together properly some
|
||||
day. I was wrong about that. I was wrong about a lot of things.

The ship is in disarray, and I send this message along with others to
|
||||
preserve our records. This particular message is a report of some storm
|
||||
on Mars; we have not been that way for a century or so, but the records
|
||||
remain and with luck will remain.

Captain, you know, we have lost contact with the Russian colony on
|
||||
Mars, but as far as I am aware, you have had no report as to the reason.
|
||||
I hope with this letter to elighten you as to the cause of this.
|
||||
|
||||
A few weeks ago, you and the council had me posted on Mars for
|
||||
diplomatic reasons. Those Russians had made something beutiful: a domed
|
||||
city with all the luxuries from Earth which we have come to miss. I went
|
||||
with Mr. Grigorievich to play golf; you might not even have heard of golf,
|
||||
but it is a thing to behold. Having never golfed before, I lost, but it
|
||||
was still enjoyable. After this, we did a number of other things, but
|
||||
after all was done, I made my way to the hotel room the council had
|
||||
provided me.
|
||||
|
||||
That night, although it was dark, all people saw and worried about a
|
||||
sand storm rising in the south. The dome generally protected all from such
|
||||
storms, but this storm had somehow carved many small cracks into the dome,
|
||||
and larger cracks were forming.
|
||||
|
||||
I saw all that was happening, and I knew, if I was to live, I would have
|
||||
to gain access to a ship. Although what I am about to write will incriminate
|
||||
me, I will hide from you no detail, and I understand, if you belive, I am due
|
||||
some punishment, for I belive, I am deserving of this.
|
||||
|
||||
I made my way to the nearest ship; it belonged to an old man given a name
|
||||
which sounded like Mark and clad in white from head to toe. Outside his
|
||||
abode, dozens of men, women, and children lined up hoping he would help them
|
||||
escape. I saw both the ship and the masses, and I knew there would be no
|
||||
room for me in that ship. Knowing this, I broke into the house from the back
|
||||
way. I killed Mark, and I did not even help those poor souls just outside his
|
||||
house.
|
||||
|
||||
I launched the ship, and flew until yesterday, when I arrived upon the
|
||||
Gaudium. As I left through a massive hole the storm had cracked into the
|
||||
dome, I saw the sands rush in, and I saw them kill those poor people. Do
|
||||
what you will with me, for I know, whether or not you condemn me, God will.
|
||||
|
||||
Awaiting my fate, former officer Ottis Dale
