Description
They stood by the elevator, the soldier who was all of metal, and the soldier who was only half. The Starbound Avalanche's thrusters kicked up a breeze that ruffled Cara's hair.
The galeheart held out its sword. As ever, it said nothing, but Cara sensed it was a parting gift - a keepsake to remember when animal and machine stopped the march of time, on the rock some called Alistair's World. A keepsake to remember when even that was a Pyrrhic victory.
She took the blade and stepped back.

As the elevator rose, the galeheart watched her go. It was still standing there when the fleet left orbit, and it was still standing there when Alistair's World slipped into the darkness from which only some small radiation returns.
