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 meant what they may do here....Trying to lock a man up for sins in other worlds will only lead to greater suffering....But...

My condolences for thy loss.

[A pause]

What has ailed you?

[cargojet]

He never really had much choice over killing. The way I had it explained to me it was like a hunger, a consumption. And don't be sorry. I'm not sorry. Nobody liked my father, and nobody mourned him either time he died.

Radiation sickness. You know what it is?

[falsehoods]

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

When were you exposed to radiation?

[cargojet]

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

[falsehoods]

Have you been to the med bay?

[cargojet]

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

[falsehoods]

What is that?

[cargojet]

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

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

[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...]

[cargojet]

Actually their blood has healing properties. Had.

I can't imagine what you could do.

[falsehoods]

I can heal a person by laying my hands upon them.

...I know not if I can fully purge the sickness when I am separated from the World Ash but I think it should at least provide some respite...

[cargojet]

[ A brief delay, if only because his hands are shaking from excitement. ]

Seriously? You think you can do that?

[falsehoods]

I believe so...if it is your want, only...

[And he fully intends to poke around Nathan's soul in the process.]

[cargojet]

Maybe give me a couple of days, see if the treatment seems to work at all, and you can come down give it a go after that.

I have to do anything I can to be here for the people on board.

[ It's a darker place than you think, Loki. You might like it. ]

[falsehoods]

You know how to contact me should you have need.

I hope you recover.

[cargojet]

I'll do that. And thanks, I appreciate having the option.
