Description

"... This footage was taken by the ship's motion cameras roughly three centuries ago, after Zeelo retired from the GSA, Captain Rovy. It was a day that Captain Zeelo never spoke of. The fearless Hero the galaxy knew him for died that day. He was never the same... Nor was I. But alas, I drove myself to insanity, and he had to shut me down. He woke me three centuries later when you were just a boy, but he never talked about the day the stars wept.
For him... Nightmare won.
I don't think he ever healed from that... But... I never did either."
-- Andromeda.

I can't quite explain the emotions that went into this one, but I feel particularly proud of it. When Zeelo retired, the years following would change him forever. The man Rovy knew, was not exactly the same man the Galaxy recognized. He paved a path of hope for many people, but at the cost of his own happiness and peace. And one final loss was all it took to shatter him into pieces- a loss he could not do anything to save due to a promise he made. The Zeelo Rovy knew, was one who was quietly plagued by fear and anxiety, a man that time left behind.

Though he was still a hero, he was a hero who lived in silence. The ship has recorded files from three centuries ago that tells his story that Rovy has begun studying, so he could learn the truth of his grandfather's untold past.

All characters mentioned belong to me.
