I'm not ignoring it. I can only respond to one person at a time and I had to hear it from Quark himself, that he's been treated. There's no guarantee Watson would reach him. Anything could have happened to him along the way.
In any case, it isn't about thinking it would fix everything or win us the town or open all the doors. I was never so deluded as to think this was the answer to everything. It's much smaller and more personal than that, even if it had the chance to be more. I tried to preserve Beckett's life and I did not. If there was any way I could help revive him or learn something for him in exchange, find one of his precious answers on his behalf, or even, in trying to help him, help someone else, I would.
Don't you have people you would lay down your life for, Davesprite? Friends, family, lovers? To me, Beckett is one of those people, and I took the first opportunity to do what I could for him. I know that you don't think so, and that this is upsetting, and for that I apologize, but this attempt to atone for that failure to prevent his death by risking mine was worth that risk.
Again, I don't want to upset you, and I'm sorry. Would that I could simply not say anything of the sort but death has left me without that control.
