The Unknown

[Rodent]

As the two officers came out of a sweaty and tiring simulation, Bolevara stood outside, hands folded, amused expression on this face. He directed his words at Duke, for the most part.

Looks like you got creamed, Duke. He said with a smirk.

Duke flipped him off in reply, and Bolevara chuckled. Well played Brian, I was watching. Guess you're all trained and ready. Don't want you running for your mothers' underwear in the middle of a fight after all, si?

Even as they talked, an announcement went out over the intercom. It was the Colonel.

All ranking personnel, get on the bridge Immediately!

He looked up, and rolled his eyes.

Guess we're needed, Duke, Brian. Let's go.

He began walking to the elevator, the two Commanders in tow. The Elevator ride could take a bit, so he decided to initiate some conversation.

What do you think of this mission? He said.

Duke spoke first. Looks like a whole load of a time waste to me, but I ain't questioning the Admiral's Orders.

Brian could merely nod after Duke's words.

Suit yourself. Myself, I'm questioning D'Souza and giving him a whole lot of my treasure trove of swear words if this mission turns up nothing.

They had reached their destination, the Elevator doors opened, and they were on the bridge.
