The Unknown

[majoj]

Duke leaned on the wall near the bridge entrance. The simulation was intense, and despite the outcome, he was
satisfied with his performance. He knew that Brian was a better fighter pilot than him, and he wasn't the of the
kind that would held grudges. And Bolevara's scorns always flew past him, unlike his smell. The meal and coffee
has settled in his stomach, and he was yearning for another cigarette. He reached for his pocket, but then he
realized that the Colonel has a strict non-smoking policy on the bridge. Perhaps this commotion will finally yearn
some results... He looked at the weapons control console, and the young officer sitting in front of it. Although
Sarcophagus was a recon cruiser, the Order's "Better safe than sorry" policy meat it was armed to teeth. The
Resephs could easily take on Bounty Hunter destroyers, battlecruisers even, as he would be able to testify
himself. Colonel Golanski was still discussing something over the comms, so Duke decide to sneak outside the
bridge. After he passed the door, he leaned on the wall again, and with one smooth motion he pulled out a ciggy,
put it in his mouth and lit it. A blissful smile bloomed on his face as he puffed. Well, this mission's been more of a
vacation until now, and I wouldn't mind if it stayed that way.
