Her New Life

Chapter 15: What's Your Name?

"You should rest, after all it will be a while before the D-Team will send you on another mission." The voice muttered in my head, I felt like it was circling me even though it couldn't.

"Since when do you care?" I replied gruffly out loud as I continued punching a hanging punching bag. The training room was empty since everyone was either asleep or working to decode the flashdrive we had brought back from the mission.

"If you won't listen to reason, maybe I should just take control again," it warns.

I growl and give the punching bag one last strike. As I rotate my shoulder blade, I get an idea, "You could teach me instead."

"What?" I can feel the voice shake it's metaphorical head with the statement.

"Instead of taking control of me, you could teach me to use your power?" I waited for it's reply.

I feel a buzzing, like the voice is thinking, "No, go to sleep and rest. I have no use for a strained body."

I paused for a second, "You could at least tell me your name, or something about yourself."

"I've told you enough. Now go, before I make you go," the voice grumbles.

I sighed and left to go to sleep, Majung will probably already be asleep, so I have to make my way into my bedroom quietly. He's the only dinosaur, I've ever known to get grumpy about a bad night of sleep. The door quietly clicks when I open it, I get into my pajamas, and get ready to go to sleep. I climb into bed, sliding off my dinotector, and resting it on the nightstand next to me.

"Why does that voice not want me to know it's name or strain myself? What even is this voice? Am I losing my mind?" Questions run through my head even as I sleep.

"Rod have you made any progress with decoding the flashdrive?" Seth asks from his position at his computer, he's trying to decipher where the Space Pirate's main base might be.

"No, and it's been three hours!" Rod whines, dumping his head back into his hands.

Seth gives a quiet huff of amusement at Rod's dramatics, "Laura? Have you had any success?" He turns to the pink haired girl, who is asleep at her desk. Seth raises an eyebrow at her, and turns back to Rod.

Rod also seems to notice and chuckles whole heartedly. "I guess that's our cue to get to bed."

Seth nods in agreement, returning his cold stare to the computer, he's feeling quite tired himself, but he's determined to make a breakthrough.

It's about 12 in the morning when he finally finds another base. This one's smaller than the last one. He shrugs and bookmarks the base before getting up from his desk. Just then he here's a ping from a computer, it's not his, it's from Rod's computer. He walks over to the computer and sees that the flash drive has been 30% decoded, however, it's revealed the location of a much more advanced base.

"This looks promising," Seth remarks, he scribbles the location down on a piece of paper and continues with his work, ignoring his impending drowsiness.
