Gamma Stellaris

Chapter 11

         Xkmotg was absolutely furious. It was like no one on that stupid ship respected her leadership anymore!

          Her robe billowed around her as she stormed down the hallway.

          That entire meeting was ridiculous! What kind of psychopaths would disagree with her perfect plan to improve the ship's economy?! Especially after everything she had done for them!

          As she rounded the corner, she paused.

         Was that a human?

         She hesitantly approached the girl, kneeling down to study her.

          Dead.

          Figured.

         But the more important question was, what was this girl doing on the ship in the first place? And which one of her lousy, no good followers, or umm... citizens, killed her? Why wasn't she informed?

          She studied the body for one more moment before shaking her head, chuckling. She knew who did this. Xkmotgrj was always awful at covering his trail.

        Xkmotg grabbed the corpse by the wrist, dragging it behind her as she stormed down the hallway.

        She used a tentacle to flind the door open and dropped the girl to the floor.

         Xkmotgrj looked up in shock. "What are you doing here?"

         "How dare you not inform me of the fact that there are humans on my ship?!"

         "Oh. That."

         "Answer me!"

         "I ran into them in the hallway. I wasn't going to lay a hand on either of them, but that girl just couldn't stop running her mouth and it was annoying the hell out of me."

          "There's more than one of them?!"

           "Yeah, some boy was with her."

          "Well where is he now?!" Xkmotg asked, gritting her teeth.

          "I don't know. The kid broke down so I just kinda left."

           "YOU JUST LEFT HIM?!"

           "Relax, he wasn't-"

         "DO NOT TELL ME TO RELAX!"

           "It was just one kid. What is he gonna do?"

          "What if he has friends?! What if he finds a way off the ship and convinces someone of our existence?! I refuse to have another near run in with the earthern government!"

          "One wimpy kid won't-"

          She slapped him across the face. "You're an idiot!"

          "I'm not-"

          She shot one of her tentacles forward, some of the suction cups attaching to his forhead. She fired a pulse through it and Xkmotgrj's eyes widened before he collapsed.

          Now she had to decide what she wanted to do with the two corpses. Not to mention, she had at least one more human to take care of.

         What to do about that?

          There were so many options that it made her suction cups pucker. She could kill him, torture him, enslave him, hell, she could even make him a wall decoration if the desire happened to hit her.

         That could really give her office some extra flare.

          She could almost see it now, and boy did she like that idea.
