Insanity

[Boss]

The ale I had scented had more of a kick than I had anticipated, and in my drunkenness I may or may not have spoken about such academic subversiveness. Regardless of how it became known, I was approached the next day by a man who identified himself only as Utah. He offered me a proposal: Put my technical expertise to work to bring down the corrupt and broken system that I had observed churning out ill-prepared young men and women. Naturally, I accepted, and Utah took me to meet Gold, Juno and Hoc, gunner, engineer and comms technician, respectively, aboard the gunship Omaha.

I joined the crew as Sword, technical officer, but they always called me Omaha, saying I was almost a part of the ship itself. The previous Sword had apparently died in an electrical fire started when a Naval cruiser hit the ship with an EMP blast. For several months things went well. We brought down shipping convoys, ambushed lone fighters. I began to realize, though, that this wanton destruction of property was not going to fix the mad progression of a corrupt system. And so I began to foment mutiny.
