"Kaieka, you are over reacting. I am here with you right now, aren't I? I came back to you. I didn't stay with Hope. That was a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes. We had a lot in common, you and I weren't together....so I did kiss her."

"Over reacting? You were keeping this a secret from me. I know that I have made mistakes in the past, but I didn't try to hide them from you. Were you ever going to tell me? About Hope? About these pills that you are still taking?"

"I didn't think you needed to know. For Lenin's sake, you slept with two other guys and I forgave you. All I did was make out with an android and you go ballistic. And these pills....I told you...I need them for my flashbacks. I have a perscription. You treat me like I'm a drug addict or something!"

"And we'll discusse that later."
Quan opens the door, which had been locked, and steps inside. He looks... different. His old style court cloths are gone, replaced by more modern ones, still in dazzeling white. His hat is gone, letting his shoulder length hair hand free. Large mirrored glasses hide his eyes.
"Hello Bassarov. You might not remember me but I'm the guy who gave you the visions. How's that been going for you?"
He looks at the pills in Kaieka's hand, "I see. Well then."

"I..I remember you. You are Quan Ji...the strange man that protects Hope. The visions..you did that?"
Bassarov is filled with a bitter rage. He wants to attack this man dressed in white. Make him pay for all he has suffered. Instead he remains calm and polite.
"Well then, why have you done this to me? Was it because of Hope or do you just like to watch me suffer?"

I look at the man dressed in white, and continue my tirade.
"Bassarov, YOU ARE A DRUG ADDICT!!! You ODd, passed out on a bathroom floor, and had to get your stomach pumped! Red Infinity is not your friend... they hate you! Why would they give you pills to help you?
I have appologized time and time again for my mistakes. At least I have enough heart to tell you about them and appologize. You were just going to pretend like it didn't happen.
You know what? Here. Take your pills back. Swallow them all in one sitting for all I care. I am going into town. You sit here and write your little magazine, and maybe I will see you later."

Quan looks over at Kaieka, "Oh don't even get me started on the crap you've done honey."
He reaches up and lowers his glasses enough to look at Kaieka over the tops. His mirroed eyes throw her image back at her and she remembers everything she's ever done wrong for a blazing instant before Quan replaces his glasses.
"Now then, to business. Bassarov, I gotta say I'm sorry for the whole insane thing, I'm sure the visions have been... troubling. Anyway given your recent actions my boss has seen fit to over rule my chocies and free you again.
So crap about you being sorry and meaning well but we both know it's for two reasons: one, your a drug addict now, and two when your drugged up that thing inside ya gets out easier."
Quan takes out a scroll, the same scroll that he showed Bassarov before when he called him to trial.
"Now, if you'd just sign this I can get rid of the visions and we can all go back to our happy lives."
He tilts his head and smiles. "Then we can talk about you and Hope, you leach."

Bassarov signs the scroll.
He is confused by all of this, but has to trust Quan.
"You should not say such harsh things to me. No one is perfect. I make mistakes. We all do. Now about Hope....."

"Well, that was enlightening. Thank you, oh strange white one, for that glimpse into my life. Although, the memories do not evade me, I tend to remember all of those things quite well. But, always good to remember, especially when you have been around as long as I have... easier to leave something out.
Well then, I am leaving now. Good luck with the flashbacks."
With that I leave the room and head off into the heart of town. Stupid Bassarov! Who is this "Hope"? I should find her and kick her android ass! And wasn't that man in white quite fun! Man, am I pissed off!

Bassarov watches Kaieka leave. He feels horrible. He never meant to upset Kaieka. He will explain everything to her, and things will be okay...he hopes.

I walk into the heart of town and into a bar. Stupid Bassarov! I sit down at the counter, attracting some drunk guys' attention. As I give them "the finger" they sneer and look away. I order some vodka from the bar keep. It is nasty, it tastes like hair spray, but I drink it down and order another. If I can't sleep around or kill somebody, I am sure as hell going to find something distructive to do! And that is... get smashed out of my mind!

"Right now then." Quan snaps his fingers and Bassarov feels a pop at the base of his skull.
"There, that should take care of that." Quan sits down.
"Now then, about Hope. I'm sure you nice enough and all but to be blunt I want you to stay the hell away from her."
Quan crosses his legs and continues, You see, you've started her on her path and that's all well and good but if you go muddling about in her business now then..." QUan spreads his hands and shrugs, "Who knows? Besides that your not good enough for her."

Bassarov is deeply offended by Quan's statement.
"Oh, and those other guys she travels with are so much better. I don't intend to see Hope again, but don't insult me. "

Glug, glug, glug! Do they sell this fire water in anything bigger than shots? How about a pint of it? Test, test...
No, still cognant. I throw another shot down the hatch. This sucks! Well, I will just keep drinking until I stop thinking. Drinking...Thinking... ha! That rhymes!

Bassarov goes to his room to sulk. What a lousey day. He has Kaieka mad at him and Quan warning him to stay away from Hope. Bassarov usually is on top of the world, but today he feels like a total loser. He starts to write. At least his drug addiction should subside. He can't concentrate so he goes into town to find Kaieka.
He finds her in a bar.
"Kaieka, I'm sorry. I'm a horrible person. I don't disserve you. I should have told you about Hope. I just wanted to forget about it....I'm sorry."
