Returned
I was awake for a while. I ponder about what to say. I don't want to pass out from indecisiveness. Greeting Jane was easy. But, Leahemi and Fey, I realize is harder. Oh my head, pounding ever so hard, thinking. A telepath and a human, judging my greetings and action. I know Leahemi might still be bitter.
But, still... I just want to be nice. Less tension the better. I never told anyone about my memories of passing out. Having to pass out in front of them would open a load of problems. So I rather not pass out.
Now back to rehearsal. Should I just be casual. "Hello." Or rather, "Greetings." Hmm. This is something I am wondering. Social skills is not my developed set of skills. Oh, what to do? Hmm. I am not enthusiastic about the idea. Necessary to socially accepted greetings, but I finding difficulty. Especially the words. I couldn't ask the machines or the "A.I.s" about the topic.
At last, "Destination Earth. Set course to Ionosphere above the Appalachian mountains. Slow descent." I decided to face it. Greetings will happen. I need to ready myself for the change of gravity. I walk to my pressured locker room. Earth is hostile to me. I must be ready. I didn't want to end up ill. Even though the placement and organizations of the suit is in memory, I still managed to fail to find the auxiliary filtration scrubber.
Some would say: "who cares." I do. I am not adapted to Earth's atmosphere yet. I think so many times about coming here. But this is really happening. I feel sad for not doing it sooner. Maybe space is much a home to me. I, I wonder if Fey remember me. We never talked much. And Leahemi was around. Maybe nothing happens and I'll just go back. I was never one to start conversations. Never will.
My regret was not apologizing sooner. A red light indicator inform me that the objective achieved. In Earth's orbit, waiting. At last I found it. I put together the suit. And then wore every piece in precise order.
Family, might not all be there. I am coming. Soulderton, I am coming. "May seti no mancha oth Soulderton(May is coming onto Soulderton)," I called out. In the comms, the numbers were wondering about why I said that. I realized that I shouted. I apologize to them. My tone was very inappropriate. And I went quiet for a while. Until the ship lowering into the stratosphere, I commented.
"Prepare the antiphotons. Two to depart. On my orders."
I went to the empty chamber with number one. We waited for the machine to warm up. Then, I got informed that the transporter is ready. I ordered the opening. And through the two of us went.
At the other side, was a clearing at nighttime. As we progress, the wormhole closed. My hud display a compass. Towards Soulderton, I lead. Owls screeching nearby. We were dropped off a distance away. Had to, can't let anyone see me. My thoughts of Fey comfort me, but Leah is the reality I worry about.
On Earth. My mind wonder. It has been a long time, too long. I can't remember much about Earth. All I remember was being sad. I felt alone then. But now, a double whom look like me follow. We both camouflage into identical twins with brunette hair. I ordered number one to blend into the background until needed. As commanded, she obeyed.
I know that I looked like I'm walking alone. But, that is the point. I need it to be, so that I don't get questioned.
