Reckless Abandon

[Stoat]

Sat at his communications console, Adam Earhart's head raised slightly.

**...-We- require host...selection -Yours-...{urgency}...**

Adam contemplated briefly. He kept a close eye on the ensigns that were stationed on the Harlow, always looking for a suitable host candidate. The ongoing war with Gallia was proving wasteful of resources though. The most suitable candidates were all now dead, leaving pickings decidedly slim. There was one, though. A female, Ensign Rachel Furlough, and it seemed she was soon to be promoted to the rank of Lieutenant. Adam had initially discarded her as unsuitable. She was reckless, impatient and impulsive. Not the best qualities in a host, but needs must.

**...host identified...**

Adam sat back in his chair and stretched. This would require some careful planning.
