NorthernMage here with chapter 10, Sacrifice! This chapter takes place between chapter 2 and 3 of Silence of Division. Basically, it's Renina's story of what happened to her after Rynhart, Markus and Nir left her.

Asaria: NorthernMage doesn't own Pokemon or FTL.

Sacrifice: Renina was dying, infected with Kirau Olumi. She never thought she'd die. But she only knew it when the rebels arrived.

(Now, these small quotes here were the original prompts I used to write the chapters with revised titles in some cases, however I have realised this one makes pretty much no sense in relation to what the chapter is about. The last sentence is supposed to go like this: "But she only knew she wouldn't when the rebels arrived." Just clearing that up.)

Age:
N: 17
Renina: 16

General POV

The crew of the Fallen Angel ran to their ship, pursued by Plasma rebels. The crew barely managed to get aboard and get off Tactarus V. After failing to catch the Fallen Angel, the rebels headed to the rundown hospital where, unknown to them, an ex-Fallen Angel crewmember was dying.

Renina's POV

I lay weakly in the bed. Asaria and the others didn't have a cure for Kirau Olumi. All they could give me was painkillers and very basic medicine. Nothing like the cure. It'll never substitute. From far away I heard a voice.

'Renina? Can you hear me?' I turned my head in her direction and tried to force open my eyes. Everything was bright. It's all too bright, I can't deal with it.

'Hhh?' Kirau Olumi did not mess around when it came to completely destroying someone.

'Are you-' Then I heard a loud crash and another, more worrying sound. Plasma guns firing.

'We have the ability to kill off this entire colony. If you co-operate, we will not harm any of you.' There was a long pause.

'What do you want?' Asaria said.

'Did any of the crew stay here?'

'They were only here for an hour.'

'That's not what I meant. Is any of the crew still on this planet?'

'No.' Asaria was lying, and everyone knew it.

'Oh really.' There was a yelp. 'This child will suffer if you don't tell me whether there really is anyone still on the planet.'

'There's none of the crew left!' I heard the gun be flicked to kill. I won't let a kid die because of me. I forced myself up and saw it was a girl around five years old.

'Don't kill her.' I hissed.

'Oh? Why not, none of you will tell us whether any of the crew is left.'

'Because I was on the Fallen Angel.' The room froze.

'She's delirious, infected with Kirau Olumi.' Asaria said quickly. 'She wasn't-' A rebel held up a hand to stop her.

'We'll decide that.' I felt myself be grabbed roughly and turned over so they could see my face. They don't recognise me. I guess that makes sense, no one in the Plasma Empire has seen me for eight months, not even him. One of them took out their gun, flicked it to stun and shot me. As I was picked up Asaria just stared at me. She probably thinks I'm insane. They then carried me out of the room. It's slow-acting, that's the only reason I'm still conscious.

'Where are you...taking me?' I asked, struggling to speak.

'Ever heard of the Captivity?'

'Yeah.'

'Ever wanted to go on it?'

'Not really.' There was laughter.

'Too bad little Federation girl. Too bad.'

We arrived at a small ship on the ground. I was electro-handcuffed, thrown into one of the rooms and after a few minutes the shot from before kicked in properly and I was unconscious.

When I woke up I couldn't see anything. I could tell I was hovering in a containment beam though. I couldn't feel anything holding me up and my head was pointed downwards. Guess I'm on the Captivity, then. Wonder what part of the ship. Detention level would make the most sense. What's going to happen to me now? Someone's going to come sooner or later. It's good they cured me of Kirau Olumi. If they didn't that would be weird. They wouldn't have wanted to get infected, so they would have had to. I heard a noise at the door and it sounded like someone had come inside the room. I looked up and moved my head around, trying to position myself to hear whatever they had to say.

'What do you know of the information the Fallen Angel was carrying?' My heart leapt. Out of everyone who came, it was him. He probably doesn't know it's me. Doesn't matter. He will.

That's it! The last chapter of Whispers of Change uploaded! Now, I hope you have enjoyed this story, and I hope to see you all again in another fanfic.
