It had been an awful day. Raleigh just couldn’t seem to win at all that day. Even before getting out of bed, he got hit by his boyfriend – accidental, but it still fucking hurt. As they were getting ready, eating, and finally even during training. Insults and snarky comments raining down on Raleigh harder than the blows from Mako. Damn it Chuck, let him fucking win for a change, just once even. Raleigh can take a lot, but even he has his breaking point.
And it’s about then, that something happens. A sharp pain, and an extreme sense of dizziness and nausea overwhelms him, and he collapses to the floor. Memories float like bubbles in a sea of darkness. Images of people and places, began to fade into the thick blanket of black space that engulfed him. Stacker, Herc, Mako, other pilots, the scientists… one by one, memories of them, even their names began to vanish away forever lost to the darkness. Fewer and fewer memories remain, the darkness has consumed almost everything. Two more memories are about to fade; Chuck and those of his brother Yancy. These memories are strong in Raleigh’s mind, but the darkness begins to tear them apart too.
In the waking world, Raleigh remained still, while silent tears streamed down his face as his most precious memories faded away as well.
It was around five in the morning, when Raleigh’s consciousness finally returned, he opened his eyes. He tried to recall where he was – but, everything looked and felt completely alien to him. He sat up and looked around. It took a moment for his eyes to adjust. He was alone. Wait, no, there was someone in a chair not too far away. A man, he must have fallen asleep. He looked like he might be police or perhaps military of some sort. He saw dog tags around his neck, and, while he couldn’t remember anything specific, he somehow knew what dog tags meant. Was he being guarded? He shakily got out of bed. His body had been laying there for quite a while and he hadn’t eaten or drank anything since he’d been out. In addition, he was still plugged in to different machines to keep an eye on his vitals, he accidentally pulled one out, which began making all sort of noise. The sudden noise startled him, in addition to his weakened state, he slipped and hit the floor with a loud grunt of pain.
