chiron_survivorAdia hadn't meant to stop visiting the Nexus. It was something she was learning to enjoy, in fact, a respite from the daily tribulations of her cramped, inter-stellar life.
And then her PINpoint stopped working.
She wasn't certain why, but she suspected that it had something to do with the cylon virus that infected some of the fleet and nearly allowed a Centurion invasion. Which thankfully didn't succeed, but a few days later, when she tried to use her PINpoint, gobbledygook appeared on the screen and she didn't go anywhere.
The same thing happened the next few times she tried, so she buried it in the bottom of her foot locker and tried not to break down. She hadn't realized how much she had relied on that little device -- her portal to another, better universe -- until it no longer worked. The worst part was, there was no one she could tell, no one who could try and fix it. It was just one more secret she had to keep.
Life went on. She continued to work in her lab and slowly befriend others. Battlestar Pegasus, long thought destroyed, returned to the fleet, and some very lucky people were reunited. Adia was not one of them.
Then one day, while she sat on her bed and read over some research, she heard something beep in her foot locker. She opened it, and digging through her personal mementos, carefully retrieved the source.
Her PINpoint. It was working again.
She didn't hesitate to use it.
((OOC: Just an explanation for why Adia has been gone, which was in reality due to the mun being away and then super busy. ^_^ But Adia is back! Please feel free to contact her!))

Oceanglide might tell her that if you can't keep from being afraid you must never apologise for it.Then your hope is my intention.

Date: 2010-10-22 01:24 am (UTC)A knocking on her door startles her, but then she remembers that a co-worker was coming by, to have dinner with her. Someone who was slowly becoming a friend, despite (or because of) current circumstances. I have to go now, but I will look for you when I am in the Nexus. Take care.
She shoves the PINpoint hurriedly into its hiding spot at the bottom of her foot locker, locks it, and then answers her door. If Oceanglide replies, she'll see it after dinner.

And you, Adia. It was a pleasure to speak with you again.
