Amethyst Frontiers: Game Faces On

TEENTION COMMANDER ON DECK

The engineer regained their military bearing when the acting commander walked in.
“I understand that there is a time to joke around, but our Executive Officer, and our ship’s Captain could be fighting for their life. Pulson’s Mate Ethan Frisk, what part of this situation feels funny?”
“Sir nothing Sir.”
“Are you sure there is nothing about Captain Locke Fighting for her life that is funny to you?”
“Sir no sir!”
“Bosun’s Mate Gurollo, You always have something funny to say.”
“Sir, not this time Sir.”
“That is wonderful news, so as soon as we rescue our captain, and executive officer, you will both go on extra duty, which will consist of wearing the Battle dress suit and cleaning the outer hull until one of you gets Ab Zero space sickness.”
“Sir what is the offense?”
“Destruction of military property, the standard operating procedure of the shop fan, is not to repeat self destruct, so fix that red button.”
