As soon as Dr. Tam's gone, Gaeta closes his eyes.

Maybe execution wasn't enough, he thinks tiredly. He's pretty sure there's something in the Scrolls about some section of the Fields reserved for the frak-ups: a place just like regular life, only a little bit worse. Maybe that's where he really ended up.

Maybe he's still in the launch tube, and he's hallucinating this whole thing right before his brain shuts down for good.

Please let it be over soon.
