I can’t believe it happened. Everytime it came close on the colony I always….there was no one to stop them here….it did. I was able to help the captain repair his friend today, and when I return to my quarters….I still can’t believe they did that. I’m afraid to leave my room now…they got inside when I was gone. When I got back…all of them….they…I don’t know how…they, and now I… The doctor repaired the bruising, and he fixed the cuts on my wrists and feet…and he got rid of the marks on my chest and other area’s they attacked….and he said the baby survived the attack…
One man, during the attack, tried to take my son from my womb…they will launch his body out the air lock shortly. It was a reflex, even after that I still regret doing it.
The captain is moving my things now, and preparing a nursery in his quarters for me. I’ve begun to decrease my empathic sensitivity. I can’t afford to care about a people who would do this to me. I will do my job, but my womb must be protected…it is all I have left of that life that feels so distant.
I do not know if I can be successful closing my empathic abilities, but I plan to spend as much time as possible focused on it. My son deserves better, but I will not be able to protect him if I have to worry about emotional overwhelment. I had no idea before today I could inflict such pain upon anyone….no one will touch my child, non will hurt me or him ever.
