At a room with a huge farm with its view, David Polhen, the first commandeer of Botany Supply Unit, was enjoying his meal. He was pretty fat made his chair full of his flesh. Hugo entered the room pausing him from what he was doing.
"Hugo? *uhuk*" He coughed a little. "good afternoon, my dear friend. What's brought you here?"
"How do you know it was afternoon?" Hugo wondered about the way David greeted him. At terminal, people got their light with a main light, not the sun. Different from earth, they didn't know about season time.
"Hahaha, I read a lot about time when human was still on earth. So I counted the time, considering it was a morning just as the light turned on, and after 6 hours which is right now, is afternoon." David bragged with a ration in his hand.
Hugo raised his eyebrow, pretending he admired the thoughts. "Very smart of you."
"What's wrong, Hugo? You seemed pretty tired? Are you okay? Take this ration, dude." Said David giving Hugo a ration as he could see a jaded on Hugo's face.
"Yeah, I'm okay. Honestly it is about last meeting."
"Ah, which one? The earth or the boy?"
"Right now is the boy. You know he will be put on trial, tomorrow if you considered dark time as night?" Said Hugo while mention about the time concept which David explained before.
"True true, dark time as a night, meaning it is the end of the day." David smiled and happy hearing Hugo also talk about his concept. "The trial involve all first commandeer's opinion and vote. One Highers will be appointed as the Judge." David stroke his chin with his hand.
Hugo replied nothing and just stared at David. David recognized Hugo's intention. "I see. Honestly, I'm a fan to SCU. I always want to be one of the pilot, but considering my big fat butt, I think it wouldn't fit to the cockpit." He then chuckled, followed by a laugh.
"Hugo, however, for me, disobedient to protocol is a huge violation. Even at BSU, which maybe one violation has no great impact to the whole terminal, won't be tolerated by me. The smallest one will sent by me to prison. Can you see how dangerous if it was SCU? The first line defense unit for Martin Terminal?" David shared his thoughts and smug at the same time.
"He didn't disobey. He unintentionally do that. Beside, look at what he found? A glitch that should be fixed immediately, so OSU can't prevent a mistake in phase 3. Right?" Hugo tried to argue as he begged David's vote.
David lost the argument. "Hmm, you right. I never thought of that."
"Come on, David. SCU always do their best up there, just like you doing your best here. That's why we never ran out of ration or food, and water." Hugo continued his persuade.
"and oxygen too." David accept the compliment and brag it more.
"Yeah, of course. Have you ever heard what's going on out there?"
David was thinking for a second. "Well, feels like one time Saturn's orbit already, we all live normally."
"Yes! That's because we were doing really well. And now a young pilot has been put on trial just for a small issue?" Hugo then throwed his final rhetorical question.
"You actually right. For somehow I think it is too much. I'll do my best for 'tomorrow'" Said David as he cite the word with his finger crossed. He then smiled to Hugo.
