It's more that I want you to understand what happened to me. Why I'm so out of sorts here. So weak.
[ She pauses, deciding right then to leave out any details that refer to her boyfriend. If she gets back to him, then none of this will matter. And if she remains here, it's not like she can get back to him. And if he arrives here?
Well, that she will deal with as it comes. ]
The Moira was in distress over a new planet, and we had to evacuate. I wanted to save both of my bodies, so I jumped into the robot and put this one— [ she looks down at her slender arms ] —in an escape pod. Something went wrong with the launching mechanism and I had to crawl up the tube to launch the pod by shoving it out myself. But as soon as the pod fell out, I fell out. Both the pod and my body—the robot—slammed into the ground. The doctor put this body into a medically-induced coma and this engineer started working on repairing the robot. The aliens on the planet had a temporary body for my use. So I was in it for about a year.
The aliens there were mind-controlling us and making us lose time. So we didn't know it was a year. Eventually we broke free of that and got back our ship. Then I had to wake this body up and start working on healing it. I couldn't leave it in a coma every day like I used to do in order to patrol, because it was too weak. So I've been in it nonstop for the last two months. But that's why I was so tired yesterday. Because this body was literally in a year-long coma until a couple months ago.
