Title: Something to Change
Author: libra_traveller
Character: Elizabeth Weir
Rating: PG-13
Summary: I begin this journal while imprisoned.
I’m beginning this journal to keep me sane. My guards were kind enough to lend me this notebook and pen when they realized that I was starting to lose it. I had stopped making demands to be let free. I wasn’t eating and I began talking to myself. I wish I could say this was some great scheme to convince them I wasn’t who they were looking for. Truthfully I was just lonely, and everything they had told me, made me sick. I want to help them, but I don’t know if I can trust them.
First I should start with where I am, and why. I’m imprisoned on the planet Withral. I came here by Puddle-Jumper on a diplomatic mission, to make a treaty with the government of the people. At some point during the meeting there was an explosion and these men came in with weapons and began shooting people. The team that went with me to the planet was killed trying to protect me. I was grabbed and shoved into a vehicle that drove for many hours before I was led into some small and dirty facility. Since then I have been in this small building for over three months.
I suppose it isn’t a very long time to be away from everything I’ve known, but it feels like forever. For most days I have no one to talk to, my guards are silent. The only one who talked to me was their leader, well their latest leader, as the one who was in charge was killed prior to my visiting the planet. I guess I should explain who they are. They call themselves The Changers, their goal is to overthrow their government and start a new one more beneficial to their people. According to them their government has committed atrocities, experiments on the people so horrible I didn’t want to believe it. They want me to help them in their revolution, for some reason they think I’m just who they need, that I can make things right again. Soon I will be forced to make a decision. To help them or to be killed.
