Breathing in, breathing out.

He just hung there against the black, like a puppet with his strings all tangled up, or ...or like one of those old cartoons where you run off the edge of the cliff and your legs keep going for a moment...and you could see he was trying to breathe, but there was nothing. When they pulled in his
    body half an hour later, the one thing I remember is that his eyes
    were frozen."
    "As empathy spreads, civilization spreads. As empathy contracts, civilization contracts...as we're seeing now.

      Nobody wants to die, especially not out there in the cold of space, so you surrendered. They took you aboard their ship, fixed you some milk and cookies and asked you to work for them, be their eyes, their ears, their voice.
      What a wonderful world you live in. -
      Yeah, well, the rent is cheap, the pay is decent and I get to make my own hours.

        "That's all that faith requires. That we surrender ourselves to the possibility
        of hope."

              "It's an Earth food. They are called Swedish meatballs. It's a strange thing, but every sentient race has its own version of these Swedish meatballs. I suspect it's one of those great universal mysteries which will either never get explained or which will drive you mad if you ever learned the truth."

                      Thanks. That's assuming I can get any sleep in these. The Captain warned me about these things, but I had no idea..

                            We do everything we can to be noticed. And thus become invisible.
