desperate plan.
 
Serah knew the older Nanclus was ultimately responsible for her suffering
in the last 24 hours and thought she could take pleasure at watching his
death.  She was devestated to realize in that vengeful moment that she
could never be the same person again.  In an effort to redeem herself,  
she persuaded Nanclus not to torture the guard who had brought her in. 
Serah's compassionate gesture led Nanclus to first try convincing the
captive Centurion to help him take over the ship and defuse the incident. 
 
Serah was returned to the LEXINGTON where she immediately attempted to
resign her commission.  Captain Rafe reluctantly allowed Lieutenant
Daniels to take the battered Ensign back to the 31st Century where their
advanced therapies could help heal the traumas that history had never
meant for her to endure.  Serah Riley returned to duty with her
psychological symptoms under control.  The lasting damage to her
well-being remains unclear as of SD 2261.018.
