Uh guys... I haven't been too up and up with you guys.

Yes, I'm floating in the pacific right now, that's verifyable, but the reasons aren't as... what I have been saying.

I had developed some tech I had been trying to cover up. I wasn't kidnapped, nor was there anyone after me.

I... shit.

I was trying to cover my ass, and Jager brought me to my senses. We had a conversation and I confessed my concience.

It's about time I own up.

I came up with something S&T would have busted me hard for. I tested it out, was gone for a while, now I'm back, the tech destroyed.

I won't say what I built, or why. It doesn't really matter since it's gone now.

So, I'm just sitting here all by my lonesome.

I guess I deserve to sit in the corner and think about what I did.

Yeah, I guess I effed up royally.

Guess I deserve the silent treatment.

Screw that. Get your ass back to shore, so we can have a 'Welcome back from Beyond' Blast or something of that nature.

Of course, you can take the 'paddle-back' time to figure out how you are going to explain this to ronin.

Your right. Nothing is easy, but it beats doing nothing, because that is even harder.

By the by, Endeavor, something is coming up that might need your attention. Follow your nose.

Someone mistakes me for your enemy, Little Sister, but that is not the case. I have explained that, along with a few other things, to one who does not have your best interest at heart.

Nor, was your failure of your own design, or so someone has claimed. The key word I think you are lookin for is Access.

What do you expect, Miss Hino? Maybe others know you well enough to understand. Folks like me just know you didn't tell the truth.

Can't speak for others but I don't like being played. Don't care how big your brain is. I'll get over it but don't do it again.

Yeah, I know I'd get chewed out.

Look guys, I want to come home, it's just... so frigging relaxing out here. You guys don't know how scared I was half the time. Thinking I might just slip the mortal coil. But... the idea of a party is intriguing.

And Cody, you'd be invited.

Jager, if you can arrange a tow. ^.^ I'm coming home!

I'm sorry Cody. Honestly. -.-

I know I pissed off some and dissapointed others. I have to own up to that. To quote Lance Styker, "I ain't afraid to own up to what I did, and that's a damn fact."

Just don' do it no more and we ain't got a problem.

-.- Cody...

Alright. We have a deal.
