Chapter 145: Call for Jeremiah
================================

At the very last moment, Siva remained silent.

He wanted to play the card of a dubious victim.

Jekiwabbashlu was really mad right now and the supposed red color of his alien skin became a bit paler than before. This poor 'Captain' right then and there, began to have his doubts.

is he messing up with me?

"Show me a map." Siva suddenly said.

The octopi captain was startled, {What do you need a map for when I'm already showing you the way out of here?}

"I have a good memory... I have a more or less bit general sense of my location... albeit lost. If I see a map of your ship, and study the passage you're showing me with the map, then I will slightly believe you. But you only have five seconds. If you fail to show me a map within five seconds then I think of it as you trying to create a false map."

{WHAT?!!}

"Four!"

{Five seconds! You said five seconds!}

"You're wasting time. Three."

{This is ridiculous!}

Siva moved to another wall and put his hand on to it that scared the 'Captain'.

"Two."

{Shit! SHEEEEEET!!! (Adjutaaaaant!)}

{(I got it, Cap'n!)}

"One."

DING!!

A different plasma ball of light popped out and in it was a map of the ship. Prepared in haste, there is no way they could have time to edit it.

'Cortana.'

[Done. Analysing location data! Referencing...]

Siva smiled victoriously behind his helm. He waited for Cortana's victory call as he looked up at the poor 'Captain' of this alien Armada.

{What? There's your map!}

"I don't know where I am."

{Ah, for a devil's sake!}

Right after the outburst, a red dot appeared on the map, with a 'cloud' label "YOU ARE HERE" in huge neon bright colors.

Even Siva was surprised.

The map is updated with the current status of their mothership. There were darkened areas and as he was trying to analyze his location, by himself, it was then that Cortana interjected.

[I'm already done sir. I know where they are.]

Just in time, the map flashed and a green colored corridor was highlighted close to him, matching his current location with another corridor opening just a few meters away from him.

Cortana updated her map and confirmed that Siva's current location matched the 'scanned' range and direction of the open corridor.

{What are you waiting for? Just follow the map.}

"Thank you." Siva said and then with an illusory flash, he vanished and dashed, going towards a new direction on the same corridor.

{(Captain! He's heading right for us!)}
