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.

I have, and what there is to do is sleep. Which you should be doing.

[falsehoods]

I do, though my own experiences with it are limited.

When were you exposed to radiation?

Maybe that's what your universe is like, but we don't tend to nuke our cities. It's sort of frowned upon.

[cargojet]

Little better than a coma, which I'd like to keep at arm's length as long as I possibly can, if that's okay with you.

[jurisimpudent]

Does that mean you are deliberately avoiding sleeping?

[cargojet]

Our little week of hell. I thought it was all in my head, but it had other plans.

you asked.

do you need anything?

[text]

[cargojet]

Not quite.

[ Yes, absolutely. ]

[falsehoods]

Have you been to the med bay?

[cargojet]

You got a new pair of lungs?

The tech in here is pretty good. I'm hoping I'll pull through without taking too many years off my life. Keeping most of my hair would also be great.

[jurisimpudent]

Who is your doctor?

[cargojet]

It's where I am right now. They're doing their best, but what I really need isn't here.

[text]

[cargojet]

No way. You can't think I'm going to get someone else in trouble for no reason. I'm a grown man, I can sleep when I want to.

Good.

I went to the medbay for some sleeping pills a day or so after it was over. Aside from the usual sickness post jump, I feel fine.

Maybe I should but I'm more concerned about you.

[falsehoods]

What is that?

[jurisimpudent]

I'm not going to yell at him/her; I'm going to have him/her yell at you.

[suddenlycaptain]

maybe they could grow you a new pair of lungs with that tech

some men look better without hair.

text;

[cargojet]

Maybe they could.

And I reckon I'd just look like Lex Luthor. That's not a look you want to go sporting.

[text]

[cargojet]

They couldn't do it better than you, Miles.

[cargojet]

My brother, or my daughter. They'd--

Well, it doesn't matter. They're not here.

[cargojet]

Come down and see me at least. Just seeing you would make me feel better.

[text]

[jurisimpudent]

Then I suppose the key difference is that they're able to administer sedatives.

[suddenlycaptain]

who?

[ Nathan she didn't even know what Coca-Cola was. ]

[falsehoods]

I think 'tis natural to want family about when in pain.

....If there is aught I can do to help...

[Don't let him help, Nathan...]

[onsilksheets]

I'm already making my way there now. If I can help, then I'll be glad to.
