[TRANSCRIPTION]
Speaker 1 00:00:49
Keep pushing.
Speaker 1 00:07:00
How freaking weak you are.
Speaker 2 00:08:32
I'm not moving.
Speaker 1 00:18:35
Thanks for watching!
Speaker 1 00:19:54
Of course I like it.
Speaker 3 00:19:59
Please have a look. I only saw the one that...
Speaker 3 00:21:15
Fine, why not? If you think that it's fine, we have to level it. You see? Yes.
Speaker 1 00:22:19
Thank you. What would it be?
Speaker 1 00:22:56
Bravo Mubarak. Baklava. Hummus.
Speaker 3 00:24:27
It's annoying, so we stopped, there was a thief, nobody has our stuff, they become a fear for the cost of the day, buy them all.
Speaker 3 00:25:08
No, watch this, watch this. Keep checking, keep checking. Keep checking. Until we hit the back of it, there's no changing parts. Watch this. Yes, sir. Thank you.
Speaker 1 00:26:22
Thanks for watching. 
Speaker 2 00:31:44
Trash run reimbursement for Alex. Would you mind reimbursing Alex for the three attached, Trash runs question mark. He accidentally threw away the receipt for one of them.
Speaker 2 00:32:23
So took a screenshot of the transaction on his statement period. Please. Let me know if you need anything else.
Speaker 1 00:36:21
Bye.
Speaker 4 00:39:22
They nod in agreement. Cicero is green with worry. Are you certain? We cannot lose our presidency. To bring you up on charges. Your popularity won't matter then. All options will be available to her. The rest is, grips my arm again, imploring. Lysander, if you go to Earth, you'll never leave. She will kill you or make you her puppet. I did not expect Atlas so soon. I don't know how he fooled Kyber and lost her tail, but as soon as news of the dockyard came, I knew I would have limited time to act. I must go, I said. This is why we created contingencies. Atlantia won't kill me yet. Horatio, Rhone, we will play peacemakers one more time. Contingency 11 is our best hope. I've already spoken with Valeria. She's in.
Speaker 4 00:39:52
You know what to do. They nod in agreement. Cicero is green with worry. Are you certain? We cannot lose Apollonius, not now. A dozen ships in hand are worth a hundred on the ledger. We're in the game now, my friends. Stay true to each other, and we will succeed. I hope. I say my farewell to Cicero and Horatio before taking Glarastis by the arm. Remember, I want you to get to the safe house in the mountains as soon as I depart. Keep extra close. His face is pained, but he tries to be strong for me. He takes my shoulders. Before you, I was broken, lost. Hope had fled with youth. He thumps my chest. Hope beats here, in you. In Clarestes, I feel the presence of the love Octavia stole from me with her pandemonium chair.
Speaker 4 00:40:23
The love of a parent for a son. I will see you soon, Clarestes. I kiss the wizened man on the brow and tear myself away to walk with Roan toward Atlas' landing shuttle. My guests make cry at their complaints against the dictator, but none dare intervene. I'm counting on you, most of all, Roan. We need more than just Apollonius and his men from the docks. I understand, Dominus. I will not fail you, Roan says. Reluctant, he hands me over to the custody of the landing corgons. They scan me after I board their shuttle. They miss nothing, not even the implant in my ear canal. The last words I hear before they take it come from Pythor on the bridge. Good luck, Moonboy. We'll see you soon. Thank you for your cooperation, Lysander, Atlas says as the shuttle lifts off. He takes off his cape and hands the iron fist to an attendant.
Speaker 4 00:40:55
The Styx will rendezvous with us a day out from Mercury. We will take it the rest of the way to Earth. Atalantia thinks you look too martial with that scar. She sent her best carver to better shape you to fit her desires. He glances at the burn on my face. But first, she has a message for you. He turns to leave the passenger compartment and calls back to his corgons. Make him shit blood. The first fist hits me in the kidneys. Chapter 11, Darrow. Inheritance. The Archimedes whispers through space on a route between the ecliptic plane that will add weeks to our journey, but hopefully help us avoid enemy hunting squadrons. In the commissary, Severo and I eat dinner in silence.
Speaker 4 00:41:25
His hair is long and disheveled, and, like me, he has a beard. He breaks the silence with a burp and winds a chunk of ham on the end of a combat knife. I'll say one thing about Kallax. He packs a good larder. Surprised your lot didn't pillage it. We did. Cassius nicked this grub from Starhold, neglected to share with the others before we parted ways. Severo shrugs, deciding not to let the origins of the food diminish his enjoyment of it. You try the ham yet? He asks. Not yet. Four days out from the dockyard, and Sarah and I have apparently forgotten how to talk to each other. At the same time, we can't seem to be ever more than one room away from each other, or avoid touching each other when we are in the same room. It's weird like that. The push and pull of a war bond that goes as deep as ours. So much guilt, but at the same time he's my security and refuge, and I'm his.
Speaker 4 00:41:56
We know we're the only ones who understand what the other one has seen. Indescribable things. Things words explain to those back home about as well as cave paintings relay the reality of a woolly mammoth. You always try the ham darrow, wherever you go, it's a good barometer for the rest of the larder, trust me. He throws a piece on my plate. I'm crying. I'm PTSD'd because the minotaur carved you like a pig, he asked. Was that all his setup, I asked. Don't be so conceited. I grimaced at him from across the table. He's lost weight and he stays in the clone's prison, and then Apollonius' skinny, bearded, tattooed, savage, desirated knife, drowning in Cassius' too large shirt and too large pants. He looks more like a loony street killer than a soldier. Except in the eyes. They're locked in a thousand meter stare. Then there's the matter of his necklace of ears, which he hasn't taken off.
Speaker 4 00:42:29
They stink. Still a little nauseous from the meds, actually, I admit. Pain meds are for pixies. After the duel on the meat straw, I can't move without suffering a litany of pains. I've been in the Archimedes' med bay with Ori more than I've been in my own bunk. Be honest, it's the ears, he says. I'd get rid of them, but how else could I mock the dead? He brings an ear to his mouth. Galerius, you still squealing like a piggy down there? Galerius, how voth, I ask? You came to the minotaur? That's that piggy, he says, and goes back to eating. Well, he certainly had it coming. He was my sixth, but I forgot free. I was in the fence by then, strong enough to finally gather supplies and make a real guerrilla action out of it. His life wasn't the first thing he lost. I'm glad you showed restraint, I said.
Speaker 4 00:43:00
He looks up, eager to take offense, but not sure if there's an angle to. Ears, you could have chosen tricks. Thought about it. Gender biased and too heavy. Gold, you know. He's not joking. Once I got into an armory and got my hands on anti-personnel mines, it started getting real fun. Best one was putting a fire alarm in the mess and seeing all those greys run out. Got 51 that day. It's not like Severo to brag. Maybe, like me, he doesn't know how to fill the silence. So, Galerius was there. You already told me about Tiberius and Drusilla. What about Onluna? He goes quiet, then returns to his food. Told you. Old crowd. Boxwood. Puppets. Syndicate queen was Lilith. Clown thing. Clown. Pebble. Who knows where. Iron wolf. You want me to tell you Min Min smelled like bacon, then she burned? She did.
Speaker 4 00:43:31
So did the rest of them. He meant it to hurt me, but saying it hurt him, too. He looks away. I told him about Mercury. He didn't say a thing the whole time. Not a single expression, either. Not even when I told him about Alexandria and Rona. He was too mad. He didn't say it, but I know he thinks I should have let him kill Lysander when he was a boy. He is fundamentally a good friend, but he feels no need to be a good person when dealing with enemies. There he is. Hero of the hour, Severo says, and Cassius limps in for coffee. Barker. Glad to see you're making use of the larder, he says. Severo gives him a wide grin. What a host you are. Cassius nods to me and goes for the coffee. Well, of course, you had practice. You and this man's hosted royalty for over a decade.
Speaker 4 00:44:01
His smile grows wider. Glad to see you left a positive impression on young Loon. Taught him all the best ways to slaughter heroes of the rising. Cassius turns around, jaw locked. I won't make excuses for Lysander. I hear Alexandria and Rona were good people. Good? Severo asks. We don't have to do this, I say. Do what? Don't use Alex and Rona, Severo. Just don't. He loses his enthusiasm and Cassius makes his escape. I send him an apologetic grimace as he ducks back to other cockpit. Severo doesn't look at all satisfied. He tosses his combat knife down and stares at nothing. He risked his life for you, I say. Yeah, but we didn't get the Minotaur. That meat straw was a bad one. If he made it out, he's a cockroach, Darrow. He grunts. All this killing men.
Speaker 4 00:44:32
We keep fighting. For what? He coughs again and wipes his tattooed mouth with a bony hand. At least Orion took some of those ash bastards with her. Went out proper. You should have let her drown the whole bloody planet. Maybe then the cockroaches wouldn't keep coming back. That wasn't your dream, I say. And it isn't mine. We're not Ashlaws. Nah.
Speaker 2 00:44:48
Maybe Chipotle sent an authorization code.
Speaker 4 00:44:52
We're pixies. You had Atlas and you let him live. We had Lysander and we let him live. We had Apollonius and we let him...
Speaker 2 00:44:59
From Ashleon, passcode. Please and thank you.
Speaker 4 00:45:04
Live. He snorts. It's like we want to lose. We haven't lost yet. Orion, Onassis, Alex, Rona, Daxo. We don't know if Pax and Electra are safe. Not for certain. Maybe they're dead. Maybe my girls are next. Maybe Vitra. Maybe Virginia. Shit, we couldn't beat the core in ten years. Now it's the rim, too. Mars will be a hard nut for them to crack. I can break them there. I will. Uh-huh. He almost leaves it at that. With going under the ecliptic plane, Mars might not even be there by the time we get back. Ain't gonna be a fast ride, will it? Gonna be a crawl. And they'll be hunting us. What do you want me to say, Severo? I've been in the dark for eight months. You want me to say it's all slagged, war's lost, our children are dead? I won't. I can't. We have people counting on us. My family, your family. We don't have the right to do anything except all we.
Speaker 4 00:45:36
can do. He stares a hole in his food, lost in thought. She'll have had the baby by now. Without me there. First time I wasn't there for it. I was there for the girls. His eyes flicker. What are you going to say to Virginia when you see her? I don't know. I'll probably just listen. Like I should have done from the start. He doesn't respond. And I sense him drifting away, closing up. Severo, there's something I have to say to you. Something I told myself I'd say when I didn't know if I'd ever see you again. I take an unsteady breath. I've been too afraid he'll spit on me to say it until now. I'm sorry. To my surprise, he doesn't spit. So I continue. When we left Luna to break out Apollonius, I promised you the end was near. I know you didn't believe it.
Speaker 4 00:46:06
I made you choose between me and your family. For that. For taking you for granted. For not listening to you. For all of it. I'm sorry. There's an uncomfortable pause. Severo shrugs and goes back to eating. The lack of acknowledgement says more than anything else. Wounds may scab over, but they don't always heal completely. I don't know what else I can say, not without making him angry, or cheapening it with bigger words and more excuses. When I got free of Apple, you know why I didn't steal a ship and make for Mars myself? He asks. Cassius and I were wondering. I knew you'd come. You're stupid like that. It's why I love you. But man. We ain't good. We might never be good. I know. I know you do. But I can't do this again. When we get back to Mars, I'm going to be without my family. Only my family. His eyes stare through me. I know. I don't think you do. He breaks eye contact. They did smell like bacon, Darrow. The howlers. I lost them all. I don't know where Pebble and Clown are. I don't know if Lilith and the Abominations still have them. He said he was going to erase me, wash out my memories, turn me into his trained dog, wash out my family.
Speaker 4 00:46:54
So Road chews his bottom lip. He didn't, though. I don't know why. I hate that it's his mercy that's given me the second chance with Victra, my kids. But I need to take it. I understand. If that's what's right for you, I understand. But... but nothing. You have a new baby to meet. You and Victra have four to take care of now. You chose to be a father. I will respect that. Even if I have to get my family off Mars, just... I nod, even though it hurts. Even if we lost this war and I was dying, I'd smile if I knew you'd gotten out. He knows I mean it, and I feel like that, more than anything I've said, gives our friendship a chance. Still, I'm relieved when I see Ori enter. It's the first time I've ever seen her awkward, and the first time I've seen her enter a room without all of its occupants giving her at least a portion of their attention.
Speaker 4 00:47:26
Am I interrupting, just? Yes, Severo says down into his plate. His shell is back up. She apologises and is about to leave when I wave her to the table. She sits and watches Severo. He doesn't care. He eats for a few more minutes, making sure to collect every last crumb, chugs on his beverage, burps, leans back, scratches his belly, looks up, yawns, then brings his eyes down on her like a hammer. And? She stares at the necklace of ears he still wears around his neck. My name is Ori. I know, we talked in the evac. And? I have a message for you from friends in the rim. It is from Athena. I frown, even though I'm less surprised than Ori thinks I should be. She pulls a strangely designed holocube from her pocket. It activates and bathes us in amber light, like Ares once did.
Speaker 4 00:47:59
Miss Athena wears a helmet. Hers is black with a Corinthian crest. Red eyes stare out from it. Her voice is slow, heavy with the laconic accent of the gas giants. Yes, sir. Son of Ares, Sero. I greet you on behalf of the low colors of the rim. I cannot tell you my name, for I am hunted, but I am called Athena. Sir, theater. Sero mutters. You do not know me, but I knew your father. He was my mentor, my friend, my hero. He found me when I was broken and showed me that it was not I that was broken, but the world's. Since his death, I have kept his legacy alive in the rim. A joke! Sero stands and snorts in disgust. I ain't got the patience for this shit. You may doubt this. You may doubt me. So hear it from him.
Speaker 4 00:48:33
Several freezes, as his father appears in place of Athena. What? Fitchner is young, probably close to the age we are now, and recording in an apartment with a few of a jeer. A toddler lies asleep on the couch beside him, his head resting on Fitchner's thigh. Fitchner smiles ruefully out at us from across time. Several touches the ears on his necklace. His entire essence shifted the moment he saw his father. He became a boy again. He blinks a few times and sits back down. Chills creep along my arms when I hear Fitchner's voice. I forgot how much I miss the man. Hey, boy-o, it's me, your da. Fitchner strokes the toddler's hair. And you. I hope you don't wake up while I'm talking to you. You were a bastard today, bit me like a goblin.
Speaker 4 00:49:05
But I don't know if you'll ever watch this. I hope you don't ever have to. But if you do, it's because you're grown, and I am dead. Fitchner grimaces. Strange, talking to the man you'll be. To me, right now, you're innocent. Except for the biting. You don't yet know your mother is dead. You are too young to miss her. You are too young to know you will have no place in the world that killed her. That won't last. His eyes grow sad. But you know she's dead. You know how she died. This is a hard message to record. It's like admitting I won't be there. But that's being a dare, I think. I wish I could protect you from the pain that's waiting. I wish your innocence would last forever. I wish tonight that I didn't have to leave you. But I've done something, my boy. I have started a war.
Speaker 4 00:49:37
Our enemies don't know it yet. Hopefully they won't know till they're choking on it. That is why I have to leave you tonight. I'll be back, but there are seeds that must be sown in the rim. I will return to you as soon as I can. by the time you watch this those seeds should have come to fruition their bounty is your inheritance should you need it i hope you won't i hope i'm alive sitting beside you as you watch this if i am pour me a whiskey and rub an old man's back i deserve it because if i'm alive i've beaten the bastards and you won't have inherited my war it's a pretty dream but your mother was the dreamer boy i'm not i'm just a savage you can't let things go something tells me you might be the same i know the path i walk might leave you alone i'm a bastard for that i know it eats.
Speaker 4 00:50:09
me up knowing you'll probably hate me for it but fortune ain't kind to those who conceive revolution and the generation that likes the fuse usually gets buried in the rubble my only hope is you'll build something of the rubble son maybe a monument eh i'd like that a big one on the lion steps for me and your mum and a family for yourself a whole brood to climb on our statue and be amazed at what big toes their grandparents had athena my ally in the rim will have sent this via a herald you'll know it's them when they say the words your mother once said to you they'll have a book with them it belonged to bryn your mother and her mother before her it is a partial collection of the oral wisdom of their clan on triton it's your heritage and it belongs to you now trust the book and trust.
Speaker 4 00:50:40
the herald they will guide your journey to athena as surely as i hope this book will go, your heart vale knows it saved mine, he looks down at the toddler resting beside him i must go now i'll be back for you to chew on soon, he grows somber as he looks at the recorder if i'm not there now i'm sorry but no i'm all right no matter how it went the path led me back to your mother we loved you several with your first breath with our last we will always love you and we will see you again at the end of your path, farewell for now fitzner shrinks back into the holocaust stunned several hasn't.
Speaker 4 00:51:15
Before Athena returns. Your father knew the worst could always happen, Sauron. He believed in redundancy. That is why he had me found an independent cell. I was the first daughter of Ares. When the Ra swept the sons away like dust, we survived because we are shadow. At first, we were few. Now we are many. More even than their ever were sons. For years, we have been too afraid to reach out to you, too embittered. Because we know what Darrow did. We know he gave Romulus Alra the sons to win the Battle of Ilium. For his own people, the Reaper sacrificed the sons of Ares in the Rim. That sacrifice allowed freedom to flourish in the Core, but not here. There are some amongst us who will never forgive that. I am not one of them.
Speaker 4 00:51:46
Our cause is too important for us to be divided by the sins of one man. I reach out to you now, because the Ra have entered your war. They have proven to my council what I have long argued. There is no rim, no core. Only the high and the low, the oppressors and the oppressed. The high have united. If the low do not, I believe the dream of Ares and Eo, our dream, will die. That is why I offer you your inheritance now. For thirty-one years, the Daughters have focused on two tasks. The first, the dissemination of literature and liberal philosophy to gain converts, particularly those skilled in research, weapons development, and military construction. The second, the accumulation of military hardware.
Speaker 4 00:52:17
We have a fleet, we have weapons, but we do not have a general. It is time for you to fill your father's helm. Come be our god of war. The hologram ends. Ori watches Severo, waiting for a reply. He gives none. Overwhelmed, he retreats toward the crew quarters. Ori stands to follow him. I hold up a hand to stop her. How many ships does this Athena have? I would not know. Athena is careful, and I was deep cover until this mission. Are you lying? I ask. No. How could I believe you? Why didn't you just tell me what you were? She smiles. D'Aro, the whole truth would have made you fear me because of the guilt you carry for what you did. Guilt makes men do very rash things, and my message wasn't for you.
Speaker 4 00:52:49
Do you hate me? I ask. No. I look for hate in her eyes and don't see it. I fear it for years that I would face the consequences for betraying the Sons on the Rim. Until I read the Paths to the Veil, I probably would have never believed anyone could ever forgive me. I think of the Eighth Understanding. We achieve perfection first by acknowledging our failures. We increase understanding first by recognizing our ignorance. If it counts for anything, I'm sorry for what I did. I say. Ori reaches across the table and sets both her hands over mine. I know. You are not the Reaper. You are just a wanderer trying to be what he thinks others need him to be. I forgave you a long time ago. I believe her. And I hold her hand so she knows how much it means to me.
Speaker 4 00:53:20
D'Aro, the whole truth would have made you fear me because of the guilt you carry for, We say nothing for a moment, then I stand to check on Severo. I stop by my room first to grab the book. I find Severo in the quarters he's made in the escape pod beneath the cargo bay. He doesn't look up as I squat against the hatch frame. You all right, I ask. He shakes his head. It's a trap. It's not real. I think it's real, I say, and hand him the book. He holds it with reverence. Your father sent Titus and me to the Institute. It's the sort of thing you do. Never tie two ships together in a storm, you know. He thinks it's real, too, which is why he looks so overwhelmed. I can't. He looks up at me. I've got a baby now. I've got my girls. I can't. You don't have to.
Speaker 4 00:53:51
He tears up. He's so relieved. I grip his shoulder. All you need to think about is what you'll say to your baby when he or she sees you for the first time. He nods and hands me back the book. It was your mother's. Not yet, he says. Just hold on to it, yeah? I almost agree, and I almost leave him alone, but he looks so lonely down here in the quarters he's chosen so far from the rest of ours. Instead, I open to the first page and wait for him to stop me. He doesn't, so I start to read aloud. He wipes his eyes and leans back against the bulkhead to listen as the ship carries on toward Mars. I leave when he falls asleep. The music of a lyre creeps from Ori's womb. I head through the lounge, find Cassius alone in the cockpit.
Speaker 4 00:54:22
He looks over as I sit down. You all right? I ask. I was used as a bus driver for a spy I'm in love with, who I thought rescued me because she thought I was a hero, whose protege chose to become a tyrant and shoot my best friend's protege in the head, whom I find out was the paragon of honor. He smiles. I'm over the moon, Goodman. I squeeze his shoulder. If it counts, I think you're a hero. He snorts a laugh, but doesn't throw my hand off. I pat his shoulder. So I am your best friend. He glares at me. Don't rub it in. I lean back and watch the stars. Those ships could be the miracle the Republic needs, he says. Pity those are far away. If they're real, I say. And enough of them. You were listening on the intercom. He nods.
Speaker 4 00:54:52
Can I give you some advice? If you let me give you some, he replies. Fair enough. You first. Severo was spewing some depressing shit. Fair, considering the state I found you in after you stayed with Jackal. He shivers. Of all the people to clone, it had to be the creepiest. But Severo isn't clear in the head right now. It's not all bad. You're alive, brother. I know you thought you'd go back to Mars to save your Mercury in your pocket. Now you're probably wondering how you can face Virginia and Mars after all this. So, I gotta ask. Is your faith in Virginia broken? I shake my head. Even though she didn't send help on Mercury? Never. Then how can you be so dumb as to think she would ever believe any less in you? That our planet believes any less in you? You were a red miner. You became the bloody dumb reaper of Mars.
Speaker 4 00:55:23
Whatever mistakes you made, you did that. Not anyone else. You. So if you hang your head, how can anyone else hold theirs up? He smiles. After all, you're friends with me, and I'm fabulously picky. I suck at that, Robert. Wait, am I your only friend? Shut up. Your turn. Stop hiding from Severo. Not shut up. My turn. Stop hiding from Severo. This is your ship. If you let him walk all over you, he will. You killed his father. Eleven years ago. Maybe twelve by now. You're trying to make up for it. It's on him to get over that, not you. And he won't if he doesn't respect you. I take the bottle of whiskey he hides under his seat. So no more of this for your coffee. No more cowering. You're Cassius Bologna. Ow.
Speaker 4 00:55:54
Not in the Republic. No, not ow. Ow. Harsh critique. Oh. Right. My turn. I didn't agree to a game, I say. After seeing that duel, you have a problem. Two, Diomedes and young Rimbox will be coming for you. Trust me when I say, he'd eat the Minotaur alive. I turn on him. Really? Three, people are wise to the willow way, and personally, I don't think it maximizes your potential. Four, you need your killing confidence back. You need a top-tier razor master. You need me. After all, steel sharpens steel. I lean back. Don't give me that face. What face? That constipated war-god face.
Speaker 4 00:56:25
Minotaur messed you up, but I think we can make you even better than you were at your prime. If you let us. He puts his hand over my mouth. You say one word about the gala, I will turn the ship around. He takes his hand back, wary. I cross my arms, tight with pride. I wince from two cuts Apollonius gave me. If you wish to be repaired, you must first be broken, I mutter. What? The eleventh understanding. He rolls his eyes. When did everyone turn into a gory dumb philosopher? When we started losing. Then that's a yes. That's a yes. Good. We start tomorrow. I look down at my bandages and wince. Part two. Rampart. The alarm was soon carried to the city, and when they heard the war cry, the people came.
Speaker 4 00:56:56
out at daybreak till the plain was filled with horsemen and foot soldiers and with the gleam of armor. Homer. Chapter twelve. Lyria. Truffle pig. The Republic Long Ranger loads his multi-rifle and readies his suit for space. I shadow his movements, lagging behind him less by the day. This will be the 69th asteroid we've searched, and though this is today's first reconnaissance, it already feels we're searching in vain for the laboratory that created the tech that infests my head. The parasite, the compass that brought us to this sector of the rim, has gone silent. When Pax sent me off from Mars, he told me his theory that the parasite tech in my head was damaged, and attempting to guide me back to the place of its creation to seek repairs. He talked about a lot of things he said he'd learned from inconclusive intelligence reports, a secret laboratory, fringe scientists, links to sun industries.
Speaker 4 00:57:28
For good or ill, I believed him. I believed the urge in my gut that brought me to sector 3401 of the asteroid belt. But, with the parasite four months silent, save for the mind-melting headaches, I'm beginning to realize trusting someone too young to even have pimples yet might have been a mistake. Idiot me. I was so desperate to repair the parasite and tap into its power to help Volga, but I believed him. Not that I'd know how to even find her. She might be with the pirates three sectors over. She might be on Pluto. She might be dead. Only the routine of search, the sharpening of my skills day by day, keeps me from eating holes in myself over thoughts of my failure.
