Core jettison successful, overload averted.
Life support systems are all green.
Backup power operational.

I saw light glimmering through a crack in my windshield. A simple sharp flash.
For once, I let my eyes fly out and skitter frenetic across Anyone's face.
I think that I like humans again.
They have their struggling faiths and grasping have-not drives and awkward soft shame spots, but now I just see their faces. I smile, and they smile.

I want the future to sound epic again. It's just a matter of Will.
