Ad Terras Per Aspera

Hirotaka Suzuoki, voice actor of Gundam’s Bright Noa (Captain of the White Base and later the Ra Cailum), died on the 6th of lung cancer. He was 56.

When round thy ship in tempest Hell appears,
And every spectre mutters up more dire
To snatch control
And loose to madness thy deep-kennell’d Fears
Then to the helm, O Soul!

Last; if upon the cold green-mantling sea
Thou cling, alone with Truth, to the last spar,
Both castaway,
And one must perish let it not be he
Whom thou art sworn to obey!

*raises a glass* To the Captain!
