Crown and Coin

[darthbeck]

tom had decided not to get too drunk this time.

as he talked to sevaral of his fellow pilots, he thught about how things had gone for the past few weeks.

he had been refueling his ship on glasgow.
then, the unthinkable had happond.
the knf had invaded all of upper leeds. he had ended up fighting hand to hand combat against the KNF marines. using a wrench, and a piece of brokan metal. it had gone wrong very quickly. he had been captured by the kusari marines. after getting marched back to a transport, he managed to grab a pistol out of one of the guard holsters. the guard noticed that his prisoner had taken his gun the guard started to yell, tom had no choice but to shoot him.

tom shot him. twice.

tom quickly found the keys to the handcuffs taht the guard had placed on him. as he stood over the dead guard, all he could think was: what a waste. he then had proceeded to make his way to the transport's bridge. he shot everyone on the bridge. he stood there. staring at the corpse's. and then....

tom shuddered. he stopped trying to remember what had gone on after killing the crew......

he ordered another beer. his drink came. he drank the pint in two gulps. a new pilot came over and asked him:" err.... leutenent. i heard that you were on glasgow when the KNF attacked."

tom ignored him for a moment before realizing who the ensign was talking to. tom turned to him and said:"yes. ask me again later. after i'm sober." ..the ensign thught about that for a moment before it clicked. the leutenent was telling him to come back tommorrow.

tom ordered another drink.
