I'm sure you're all sick of hearing me talk, which is fortunate for you because right now I literally can't. Either way I thought it appropriate to admit that at least some part of what you've heard is true. A truth that I felt I was protecting you from.

There was a man on board - a murderer - who could have hurt a whole lot of people. The fact that he didn't is strictly down to the fact that I didn't make him into a hunted man the moment I saw his face. Some of you probably even knew him. His name was Sylar, and at one point during his stay here I'm told he saved my brother's life. It never forgave him, in my mind, for what he did at home.

The other implication made against me is also true.

I urge all of you to try not to let this gossip-mongering divide you. We are stronger together, and all of us have our burdens, our secrets--and in general, good reasons to keep both to ourselves. When you think about condemning others for something they've done, try to consider what you yourself are hiding. Are you altogether free from guilt, ideally poised to be placing blame on other people? Few of us are.

What happened to him?

voice;

[cargojet]

Not got a damn clue. Vanished between jumps, so either he wandered off or he got eaten by something.

[coarse]

Did anyone try to track him down?

[cargojet]

Don't think so. There's only me left from home to care, and I don't think he made friends here.

[coarse]

[Hm.]

Sylar, wasn't it.

[cargojet]

That's his name. Well... Ma called him Gabriel for a bit, but she was loopy.

[ Seriously, he just. Does not. Get that. ]

[coarse]

'Ma'?

[cargojet]

My mother?

[coarse]

[Ah.]

Your mother knew him.

[cargojet]

My mother convinced him he was her son.

[...]

Can I ask why?

[cargojet]

Because he was a weapon. Can't say it turned out so great for her. That's all I'll say on it. Whatever I think of her idea, she's still my mother, and I'm not here to air our family's dirty laundry.
