A quiet voice. There's a bit of a lackluster quality to it. "Members of the powerbase came back injured yesterday, burns and such. I've been allowed out of the Medbay, and I started training Telepathy. Today, I also started working on Barrier, which is an absolute necessity."

"Learned, in a way, that to train Ataru, I would need Apprentice Vaenra or Lord Kalkoran. Something to look into. In the meantime, powers must improve, and I must heal, meaning not staying stagnant. The medical care for the Ops was... good, better than I'm used to. I've had antibiotics, even, regular bandages."

"Gave the Operation report in person to Apprentice Ashana, and Neophyte Kalkoran requested one as well. The former was just after... a sacrifice." Deep breath. "I am alive another day because another isn't. That is... all I can really say on the matter."

"I... recalled Isbellen, today. I have to tell myself now to not forget later, while my mind is clear... as a servant, I was sometimes thrown into the pit for laughs. I met him fighting there, and... we engaged in passion. When this was discovered, I was chained along with him to fight, constantly, consistently. And the final bout was against each other. He cherished his long hair... I yanked it, and slit his throat in front of the crowd." A more angry voice. "He was... angry, that I was gaining freedom due to our child, that I had two nights before. I was in grieving, and wanted everything to die."

A choked sound. "... she was beautiful. For those precious minutes I held her, she was beautiful, my Keela. They told me she couldn't breathe, that she choked while... while in the womb, and..." Another. And then a broken song, sad, mourning again. And the recording ends.
