"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGH HELP MEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The sound of her own voice had entire upper torso snap upright into reality, and out of the dream. It was a memory, distorted, the same way it was when she daydreamed about it. That day left a mark that for so long she thought would be irreversible, it distorted her every action. Where it gave adrenaline and drive to be stronger, it also took away caution and reason - filling that in reckless action. The anger wouldn't let go, not for a decade, it felt like an endless thirst that needed to be quenched - or an error needed to be corrected.

Just in that moment, it felt like it had been corrected.

Taking in what had happened for a second, she let her body collapse back into the bed. She laid on her side, wrapping her arms around one of the pillows as she shut her eyes - trying to sleep for real this time. The whispers were still gone, but something else felt as if it was fading away as well. Something felt... different, the drive to get up and ignore extra time sleeping was gone. It felt almost too relaxing, she wanted to sleep in for the first time in a long long time.

What have I done? She muttered to herself as she shut her eyes again. For just a second there, two decade's worth of guilt felt like it was about to set in, but something interrupted. The guilt was suppressed by the same adrenaline-fueled anger that had broken the mirror yesterday. Only difference was, she blacked out for far longer this time.

-07:15-

And nothing was broken, at least not that she could tell when she awoke.

The shower, exercise, breakfast - everything felt different. The pieces of anger that drove certain actions no longer felt artificial, it felt... pure.

Other emotions flowed in, the balance of hatred and relaxation gave rise to what felt like for the moment - a new Generalmajor.

*Your ship's systems have suffered serious but not irreversible damage, it will take time to repair the unique blueprints, would you like me to inform command?*

No, have the engineers prepare the Fenriswolf Mk1, I will utilize that while the Mk2 is in its repair status.

*Acknowledged, the Fenriswolf mk1 still possess heavy weapons, as per your manual and recent combat history; you have stated that heavy weapons are too taxing on precision and reflexes to be used for prolonged time underway.*

No, I was wrong. And now I think I understand why. Have the ship ready. I am more than capable of wielding any weapon, and any ship.
