“My brother Erik was reported missing in 1975 by his wife, it’s just a hunch that I have that he was on board the Beira D because it’s something would have done just for extra money so if you find the shirt or his body it wouldn’t surprise me,” - Aggie “he always did have a thing for oil rigs despite dad’s objections.”
Erik flopped on to the bit of debris, he was exhausted, the Rain hitting his face, his stomach was growling, his throat was dry, he stared up at the dark sky, he couldn’t bring himself to look back at the oil rig, the nightmare he had just escaped from, but the sound of an Explosion Did make him look back as he saw it explode into a fiery cloud, “shit.” He said quietly, too exhausted to say much else, he soon closed his eyes from his exhaustion.
The next morning it was the sun that woke him up and the sound of an Helicopter, potentially news reporters, reporting on the incident, he didn’t have the energy to wave for help, but he sat up and decided to give it a try as he began waving his red shirt about,shouting the best he could, “HEY!” He yelled waving his arms, “hey!” It was no use, his throat were dry, he were thirsty, hungry, “HEY!!” He tried again, Erik was so close to help and they didn’t notice him, he laid back, staving and thirsty, he was cold from last night due to his overalls been wet, “don’t let me die out here,” he said, trying to keep his Eyes open, which didn’t last long as he closed them again, still hearing The chopper above circling where the Beira D once sat
Rewatching the news reporting footage from Boxing Day of 1975 morning was haunting, Hans had long muted the radio he couldn’t bare the thought of it, Aggie stood behind him, her hand on his shoulder, she leaned down at noticing something,
"hva?" > what?> Hans asked his daughter
She paused the tape and pointed
“rødt ... han signaliserte til helikopteret,”> red…he had been signalling the chopper> Aggie replied
“han var i live”> he was alive> hans said
“Han hadde levd i timevis, og ingen hjalp ham.”>he had lived for hours and nobody helped him> Hans exclaimed, sniffling again before sobbing into his hands, Aggie rubbed his back before hugging him.
Aggie held the fabric in her hands, looking at it, after a decade it hadn’t fully disintegrated, his initials were still plainly there, stitched on, like he had done like a child again,
“Vi ses igjen – jeg vet ikke når, men jeg vet at vi ses igjen en solskinnsdag” > we'll meet again, don't know when but i know we'll meet again some sunny day>
HEY! Don’t say about yourself! No,none of that you are not a failure, you just got into a crash the last thing you should do is worry yourself into a state
Your nearly 33 yeah and theirs still time before your 40 so stop eating yourself up over simple and stupid stuff you shouldn’t be worried about so soon

I slept nearly all day it’s now 2:59 in the afternoon, I woke to Mhairi throwing a plastic bottle at me, more importantly Aggie’s Pepsi bottle
yeah: Agnetha is home, she came to see Mhairi and make sure she was okay, while I was also They did some X-ray’s on Mhairi, she’s okay she’s alive, just her pelvis is fractured.
I bounced back after my pelvis fractured in 1975 after that training accident, well I bounced back after surgery, and then physically therapy, she’ll be back diving in know time I reckon, but obviously for me it’ was a lot more important that I bounced back because I was in the armed forces
It was hysterical seeing her just launch the empty plastic bottle at you
How's 10 years of Kick Boxing experience, two previous prison charges - both for battery and physical assault - the fact I fill up a doorway, a history of being called Psychotic, and a bat full of nails?
Yeah I trust you to deal with him, I’m on call if you need back up, according to Mhairi(that she told me after rob’s incident) Benjamin has a history of being aggressive so doubt he’ll pick up a fight with you just be careful
Seeing your sister blame herself for not catching cardiac issues is a new level of pain, Sunniva has spent her whole life working with cardiac patients and helping those in need, so seeing her break down is hard to watch,
Rob ,Ruiri, mama sends her best regardless she knows how heartbroken you both and Mhairi are
After the funeral she’ll be coming back to Scotland 💙 I won’t be due to being needed as Lieutenant but even I wish you well on your wedding, mama will also be attending, she’s planning on helping with the Catering (because it’s her speciality to make food) she also understands if you two and Mhairi aren’t able to make it for papa’s funeral 🫶
