Cooper stared slowly and fearful to every person in the room, his memories fading and blinking through his eyes, a lifetime seems now fleeting and distant.
They had just come to the main cryo chamber...
Realizing what is about to happen, he holds onto his handgun staring one last time at the daughter he thought lost, hiding herself behind the woman who once believed him a monster but now was asking him something, with concern in her eyes. Beside her, the soldier and brotherhood deserter knew better, slowly putting himself between the two women and the ghoul.
"Cooper... are you okay?"
He swallowed, fighting the urge to jump forward, to chase and kill, he stepped back, toward the doors, pleading to the soldier to do what was best, and to do it quickly.
