_Ooh, breakers shorting in the rain  
Shutting down devices that I love  
Ooh, how I loathe the rainy days  
And the darkness in which we hide_

I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like breakers…shorting…in…the…rain. Time to die.
