Interlude, the fake cut to the story
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm leaving my quarters - okay, an empty room - and heading down towards the stargate to look for the needed stuff on this desert world, when a woman comes around the corner and stops me with a look...the sort of look that's the same as holding up your hand, palm at the person.
"I...uh," I say. "You look kinda familiar. Have we met?"
"On Icarus Base," she says. "Camille Wray."
"Eli Wallace."
"Yes."
"You're military?" is all I can think to ask.
"IOA."
"Oh," trips across my lips before I can stop it. Yep, that'd explain how she knows who I am...that and she probably has a better eye for faces than I do." "Can I help you with something? I mean, I have to go right now, but later," and stop myself there, hearing myself repeat something entirely too close to how I talked when trying to get a date...which more than probably isn't a good idea when talking to an IOA woman.
But she nods. She's agreeing with me! "After you come back," she says, her quiet yet firm voice inviting me -
She's gorgeous, an authority figure, really really smart - which is how she got to be in authority - and I really hope I didn't miss any of what she said after 'back.'
"Would you join me in saying a kaddish for those we have lost?" she asks me.
"Uh, okay," I manage. "Not sure I know all the words, though."
She gives a small smile, which just makes her prettier. "I do," and I bet she meant for it to be all sage and stuff, but it sounded sad, like she knows it from experience.
"I'll be back, then," I say, and start walking towards the stargate. I count this as a good day - not only did I make a few friends, but I met Camille Wray.
