* DeathStar walks slowly off, passing X1

[LightningStrike] Daniel is still alive Jarred

* Garland tries to get upand follow X1

[LightningStrike] No I mean, at least not everyone died, maybe all this killing will convince him to stop.

[Garland] upand= stand.

[LightningStrike] Maybe chris's death will mean more than just an end of a life, we gotta make this a new begining.

[LightningStrike] Can't let him die in vain.

* Blackjack places his hand over his eye. 1"Maybe you're right..."

* LightningStrike catches up with BJ 

[LightningStrike] I think we should have a wake, you do know what that is right ??

* Garland collapses at a corner from being drunk.

[Blackjack] I'm not sure...

[LightningStrike] You celebrate what was good about the pearson who died, you celebrate there life, and your memorys of them. It is an irish tradition.

[Garland] *hic*

* LightningStrike stops by a drink replicator 

* LightningStrike Orders up a number 22

* LightningStrike hands it to BJ

* Blackjack snickers. "I'm not Irish, but I like the idea... After I get this cut attended to, we'll see what we can do."  Blackjack smiles. "Maybe this is a new beginning after all..."

[DeathStar] can be heard yelling from far below where Garland last was.  "YOU SPENT 2000 DOLLARS?!"


"Comin' right up!" he yelled back, and made the drink. "You're lucky, you know?" he said after giving Blackjack his drink. "Got away from all of this with no injuries but that patch," he continued, indicating the eyepatch on Blackjack's right eye.

"Yeah, and the doc said it's only temporary," Blackjack responded. "I'll be glad to get rid of it. He said I'll probably be scarred for life, though..." The two's attention was suddenly drawn to a loud crash on the other side of the bar. Nova went to attend to it. Blackjack heard, "Damn it Garland! How many times have a told you to stay out of here!" from Nova. "Hehe... *hic* hi Mr. Nova... *hic* Want an adult soda?" Garland's voice said. Blackjack rolled his eyes, and turned his attention back to the daiquari.

It's strange how things can turn out... he thought. Three of my old friends, including a childhood friend... Blackjack kept his sob under control, ...are sent to bring me back to CorSec, and now two of them are dead and one is in jail... Blackjack sipped his drink.

Even with Drew dead by my hand... I feel like I did the right thing. After all, Chris said that he'd always be there for me... Blackjack finished his drink, and placed the money for it next to the empty glass. He stood up, and walked out of the bar. Maybe Lightning Strike was right... Maybe this is a new beginning... Maybe I can... He was pulled from his thoughts by a familiar voice.

"How're you doing, Jared?" Death Star asked slowly.

"I'm... doing fine... Just wondering about my future," Blackjack responded.

"Jared, I know how it feels to kill your friends. I'm sorry..." Death Star said, reminding Blackjack that he too was in CorSec for a while.

"I think... maybe Lightning Strike is right. To... to think of this as a new beginning..." Blackjack paused. "...Chris talked to me earlier... He helped me to understand my past. I... I can't run from it... I must face it. I am Jared Timothy Carter, sergeant of Maverick Hunter. It's time to live my life to the fullest!" Death Star smiled.

"That's good, Jared. You've finally learned. Just remember, we're all here for you," Death Star told Blackjack. Blackjack snickered.

"Blackjack! Win goes to the dealer!"
