Session .04 Immortal Soul
“How are your immortal souls feeling today?”
“What the hell is that supposed to mean?”
“Okay, let me give this a shot. Just so you know, I suck at pep talks, but I’m going to ask...”
“Yes.”“Um.”
“What the captain is asking, is if we are right with whatever gods we believe in and if we are willing to go on a suicide mission.”“Are you fucking crazy?! I mean, I’m fine with God, I guess, but... Don’t tell me you’re thinking of going up against that thing?! Are you?”
“I’m with you. To the end.”“I know this isn’t an easy decision and we’re probably all going to die, but...”
“My gods burn in the fiery pits of a planet three galaxies from here. I don’t think they care one way or the other how I die.”“Okay, you are stupid. It’s not just me. You really want to go up against that monstrosity. Why?”
“Because it’s the right thing to do.”
“Will someone just let me talk?! Please, this is hard enough as it is. Kliim...all of you...I’m not doing this if even one of you doesn’t want to. This isn’t an order. It’s just that sometimes in life you find yourself on a tightrope...”
“Sure.”“What? You mean it?”“No, I just don’t want to hear another one of your analogies. Seriously, though, I never said that I was smart. You’re my Captain. I will follow you into hell if I have to, though you may get a sound beating if that’s where we end up, because you can do better than that. Now let’s do something before there’s nothing to do.”“Um, ok, I was expecting someone to...”
“So what’s your plan. You do have one?”“Uh, I was thinking something along the lines of fire everything we’ve got then run as fast as hell.”“Damn, this really is a suicide mission. Sounds like fun.”“Mind if Sadie and I hijack the communication wing?”“Um, sure, just strap yourselves in cause this is going to be one hell of a ride.”
