Samuel
"The Voice has made very inch of our bodies anew. No blood, no human organs anymore - we have her creations inside us. If she wants us to stop, or not to do something..." Sam sighed; he didn't like to speak about this anymore. It went against his new resolution to try and think of the Voice positively...yet, it was true, and hard to avoid in this topic. "Last year, I told the Voice I didn't want to be a part of Ascended plans anymore. That I opposed what she was doing. ...She was able to, without even touching me, rip me of all abilities I had and deny me fluid - meaning I would die in less than a year."
He gestured to his alive self. "Obviously, I went back. Or I'd die."
It was surprising to hear that Juniper had apparently already spoken to Wessex; Sam would have said such a meeting was impossible. "I'm not surprised she had a condition. I wouldn't ask anything of your people other than a fair trial." He really did mean it; it was terrifying, but Sam knew he had to be accountable for the things he did if he was going to continue to espouse the Voice's virtues.
Juniper asked the obvious question of why. Unfortunately, Sam didn't have an obvious answer, but he had promised to try. Tensing his hands on his lap he looked out into the trees and tried to form his words as best he could. "The Voice told us to. I...I can't even remember if we knew why at the time - obviously, it was for the portal, but we wouldn't have had to know that. I was very weak, very unsure and eager to prove myself." A breath that was not quite a laugh and not quite a sigh passed his lips. "I was terrified and spent most of it hiding while the others did the task. Not that I don't deserve the blame too - I was there, I knew what I was doing. I just haven't ever been very brave."
