about

Since most of the jumpgate network has now been offline for more than a century, Siobhan's ship must take the route through normal space that'll take nearly 200 years. Supply would run out long before then, and isolation would drive her insane. So she's bound to use a cryonic chamber once the distance to Argon Prime is so vast that message drones can't cover it anymore. Years into her journey, that day has finally arrived.

lyrics

SIOBHAN
While I've been travelling for many years alone
Now the distance to the world I came from
SIOBHAN/CONSCIENCE: Isolates me
Not too many things to keep my mind afloat
Now the messages from home went silent
SIOBHAN/CONSCIENCE: They forsook me

MAJORDOMO (the ship's AGI)
What are her chances?
What are the answers?
What are the odds she will survive?
Should I give her the answers
Without pretenses
She needs to know before too late

SIOBHAN
It's almost funny when you come to think of it
(I once tried to end my life, but now I'm scared to die)
The answer to the mystery that I must solve
(It hides among the stars, many light-years up ahead)
Though in the belly of this ship, right as I speak
An icy chamber meaning death and hope unclosed

SIOBHAN
Nopileos, my friend, these may well be
The last words you'll hear from me
For a very long time
You once said that time has our back
So be courageous, don't be sad

SIOBHAN
Now, to be honest, all the confidence you see in me
Is an illusion 'cause I'm scared and so alone

CONSCIENCE: Am I not stranded in deep space
SIOBHAN: I'm not stranded, the opposite is true
CONSCIENCE: Ain't I washed up the shores of time
CONSCIENCE: Unremembered and forlorn
SIOBHAN: Right here, right now is where I chose to be
CONSCIENCE: Changing the future is my past
SIOBHAN: It's still my destiny!

SIOBHAN
There's no regret, I'll always look ahead
No more sadness, I will never fret
Won't forget that time has our back
I'm courageous, won't be sad

SIOBHAN
Now that I travelled for so many years alone
Though I'm scared, I'm so much stronger than
I'd give myself credit for
Not to mention all the friends that I have made
And the ones I lost are unforgotten
For millennia to come

MAJORDOMO (the ship's AGI)
And what are the chances?
Now what is the answer?
What are the odds she will survive?
I will give her the answer
And make no pretenses
She needs to know there will be no

BRENNAN/BRENT/ELENA/KLAUDIJA/SIOBHAN
Millennia to come | Millennia to come
Millennia to come | Millennia to come
Millennia to come | Millennia to come
Millennia to come | Millennia to come
