There was not that much talk among the crew that day. The Captain had spent a long time gazing out into space on the bridge and so was late in calling the crew to order.
As he walked to the meeting room, he thought again of Earth, and his family. His father had nearly burst with pride when he had been selected to lead this mission to save humanity.
And now he was losing. Losing again as humanity had to those tyrants, those would-be masters of people. He could feel victory slipping from his grasp, like sand through an open hand. He felt each grain fall through, each tiny part of the whole they had worked for being destroyed.
He saw it and he could do nothing and he was furious.
Entering the meeting room, the crew pointed to Aries, who was promptly held fast by some security men. The Captain looked over the voting as Aries was led without resistance to the cryo-chamber and then entered it.
Once the lid sealed over him, the Captain turned to the crew.
"Another bandwagon. This. Is. Pathetic.
"I see that lout who's always shirking his duties couldn't even be bothered to vote for someone who's still alive."
The Captain threw down the notes and paced, "We are so close to the killers I can feel it. I can feel their fear in my blood, and to Humanity I swear I will see him imprisoned! No longer will humans live in hovels and dirt to appease tree-screwers, but used and cut and sawn to make homes and industry of men."
He stared intensely out at the crowd, "I can feel his anger right now. He's in here," He looked from face to face, "They might have survived another day, but this foolishness must end."
"Tomorrow I do not want to read any of these 'abstain' votes either. This is a crisis we face, and I will not allow any crewmember to screw the pooch while we struggle for the future of all that we love."
It is night, please send PMs.
