We are but motes of dust, drifting in an endless sea; sparks that flare all too briefly. Our light does little to illuminate the fading universe, but it is in our nature to fight, to wrestle back the encroaching dark, to find a way. Thus, we open not our eyes, but our minds, and we are terrified by what it is we see.
George Mann, Awakenings
“When inquisitors fall, in my experience, they do so very hard indeed.”
George Mann, Awakenings
“She had no idea what came next. And for once, the idea was pleasing.”
George Mann, Awakenings
To face one’s past is to face one’s future.
George Mann, Awakenings
“My last mission ended with me drifting for a hundred years in a warp storm.’
‘Well, we all have our moments.”
George Mann, Awakenings
What is memory but the fashioning of a deep and personal fiction? In memory, we shape the world around ourselves, as if to prove our own existence, to demonstrate the mark we have left upon the universe. We become heralds of something better; the guiding light by which we believe all others might navigate. This, then, is the comfort we award ourselves for the act of living, for to comprehend the truth – that the universe is cold and ambivalent at best, and at worst despises our very existence – is to contemplate madness. So it is that we grow to love the lie.
George Mann, Awakenings
