about

Many decades later - long after the Fall of the Gates and the Second Terraformer War - Siobhan acquires a sublight ship from the FTNO that will take her to Earth. But it'll take nearly 200 years - a long time even for Siobhan, requiring a cryonics chamber. The night before launch, Nopileos visits Siobhan to give her a proper send-off. They promise to stay in contact for as long as message drones can span the growing distance to Argon Prime.

lyrics

SIOBHAN
It's my last day
I will leave this world by noon
But my heart is filled with sadness
I'm absent-minded, staring at a moon

SIOBHAN
Trying to remember
The first time that I came here
Must have been when I was little
With my father, centuries ago

NOPILEOS
Hello my friend
Here, have a cent
For your thoughts
Tell me what's going on in your head

SIOBHAN: I am thinking of golden days
CONSCIENCE: No such days!
NOPILEOS: This is the day!
SIOBHAN: When I was certain about my ways
CONSCIENCE: No such way!
NOPILEOS: This is the way!

SIOBHAN
Shunning my mother; no longer sure
Whether she was entirely wrong

SIOBHAN
When there's no past
Beyond last night, where should I go
Should I stay forever dormant
Or chase my family's curse and dreams

SIOBHAN: 'Cause I am grieving for all the lives
CONSCIENCE: All my fault!
NOPILEOS: It's not your fault!
SIOBHAN: That I touched, but now are gone
CONSCIENCE: Forever gone!
NOPILEOS: They're never gone!

SIOBHAN:
I will unravel once and for all
The l-gene's mysteries!

NOPILEOS
I wish you'd stay
But I sure know you
Search for answers
And then return

SIOBHAN
It's my last night
Here with my oldest living friend
Now my thoughts are so much clearer
I'm comforted by these soothing words

NOPILEOS
Goodbye my friend
We'll meet again
And one day
Our star will rise again

SIOBHAN
The time is near, will soon be here, please wish me well

NOPILEOS
One day we will meet again and we will rejoice!

NOPILEOS
This means farewell, but I can tell, it's not the end!

SIOBHAN
One day we will meet again and we will rejoice!
