[It sounds as if she's just finished crying. There's a clink as she drops a spoon onto a dish and she finally speaks up.]

I said...I hope it goes down. [There's a nervous giggle.] But I don't know where down is. [Pause as the ship rumbles a bit. She takes in a trembling breath.] Looks like I was right, though.

Who knew that I would have them back? Who knew it would work like this?

I looked out my door today and saw the Darkness. I didn't know that Light Sorceress could curse people like this. Because that's what it is, you realize. It's not a flood. It's not...anything the Admiral has done. Condemn him if you like. It's more futile than usual.

[She turns on the camera. Those mentioned in the post who could see the curse will be able to see the vortex around her, invading her room. Barge magic, yeah]

I almost destroyed Moscow last time this happened. Last time, it was unintentional. Last time, they could talk me down from it and I could be saved from their...alternative method. [A bitter laugh.] Death.

They said once you pick a side that you can't change to the other one. Light to Darkness...all of that. I don't see why. It's so much easier to hate like this, isn't it? When you've been pushed so far, when so many people have kicked you in the face, it's easy to fall.

That's what power is, isn't it, O'Brien? [She reaches forward to turn off the transmission before she starts crying again. Then pauses.]

Someone might want to check on Petronilla. [BECAUSE SHE'S NOT. That's all!]

Revenge sucks, doesn't it, Rex?

But this isn't about you.

And I'm not fake. [Except that she totally is.]

I know more about revenge than you ever could.

[He laughs.] Oh no, not at all. Those smiles, the polite face you put on in public while mocking me in private? Those aren't indicators or a fake? Now everybody can see what I've seen all along.

You are so arrogant.

I've done nothing but help you for the past few months. And I've done it for genuine reasons. Or have you conveniently forgotten that much?

This is not about you. Stop trying.

No, I was actually beginning to appreciate it. I might have even started to respect you. Until you revealed all of this.

I never said that this was about me, only that I saw through you when nobody else would even question you.

You just told Wanda that we all did this, that we're responsible for what you're doing. Just like I did when I attacked the ship. How are you any better than an inmate?

You saw through me.

[Sigh. Mood change.]

Maybe you did.

Not that it matters now. I would have liked to have been wrong.

FINE. Just go messin up my post!

Me, too, Rex.

For what it's worth, I've been truthful to you about everything regarding your apologies and...everything else.

Well, I'll keep that in mind as the Barge crashes and I turn into a dog-eating mutant again.
