Marlene's Return

Obsidian

I got promoted! Now I'm a Senior Officer, like I was four years ago, before the failure. Luckily, Veronica never got fired like I expected, but Master still doesn't like her much.

But now I have a chance to succeed again, to prove to Master I can kill a large dragon. True, I've killed plenty of smaller ones, but never a big or aggressive one.

Master called me in to the office one day. Veronica and I did so immediately. Veronica was complaining about voices in her head, but I tried not to pay attention.

"I have a great opportunity for you two," Master said.

"What is it, Master?" asked Veronica eagerly.

"I found a signal for that dragon you failed on four years ago. Remember that?"

We both remembered vividly.

"The dragon is at the bottom of Loch Ness in Scotland. There is most likely a concentration of dragons there. Your task is to kill as many of the other dragons as possible, and capture the red and black one. I want to do some testing on her." Master smiled maliciously. "Can you go to Scotland and complete that for me?" asked Master.

"Yes, Master," Veronica and I replied simultaneously.

"Good. You shall take the helicopter to Loch Ness immediately."

Veronica and I ran off to the helicopter. Since I was the higher-ranked Blood Seeker, I had to drive the helicopter. I was fine with that. After all, we'd probably crash if Veronica drove.

We arrived at Loch Ness several hours later. Veronica and I got on our scuba gear and dove deep down, following our upgraded waterproof DDDs to the dragon. I don't know why Master didn't want the dragon dead, but I would do what she asked. The dragon would be captured, and my career would be saved.
