Mischievous Machine [old]

Control.

I woke up after napping for a couple of hours. I'd say I feel as good as new but that'd be complete bullshit. I feel even more tired damn it ugh this is the worst. At least I didn't have any dreams this time.

Now lets see what do I need to do? Ah yes inspect reports of Acheron and Jim! I hope they did their jobs correctly and left the reports in my room cause I don't feel like going out there to get em.

Getting out of bed I take a look at my desk. I see a couple of documents which I quickly pick up and take a look at. Jim didn't report to me but he did to Acheron so same thing I guess. I still got the data I need although it's even better this way since I was going to tell Acheron about it anyway.

Now lets see Acheron is quite smart and knows how I like my data.

sixty-seven percent dead, fifteen percent wounded. 

Whoa this is like real bad if these numbers told me anything. Acheron you son of a bitch when I said I wanted numbers I meant the actual numbers not percentages!

Oh wait there they are. So most of the casualties are of the non technical/ship functionality essential types, soldiers basically. 

And as I've suspected Kane is one of the casualties as well as his group. Kane's not the type to not leave a message behind when doing something important and I would wager dying is pretty damn important although I don't know maybe that guy was just a nihilist.

I'll head to medbay to take a look I guess as well as ask Acheron about it. He'll definitely know something I'm certain of it since Kane would definitely try to contact me during the time frame when I was unconscious.

Took me a while to get my head and thoughts together but I managed to piece some things together. Now medbay...

Oh yeah I'm lost.

"Hey Boss..."

Perfect timing.

"Medbay."

With that one word we walked towards Medbay. It was quick enough and upon reaching the door I parted with Jim who stayed outside to wait while I calmly conversed with (beat the ever living shit out of) Acheron.

"Heyo dastardly bastard."

He's standing by an operating table. Fidgeting with equipment oh no he's operating.

"What brings you here Boss?"

"Kane."

"I see can you wait a bit?"

He always manages to escape a beatdown somehow doesn't he? Does he have a special sense for this shit or something?

"Fine, find me when you're finished."

I leave medbay and take a bit of time to think.

"Where to now?"

So impatient.

"Guess we can inspect our loot. I want to know what they were carrying on this ship or what the hell was their purpose."

"Do we even have the men to find that out?"

Good question I'd hope we do but most of our personnel responsible for that seems to have died. Now granted we aren't running on a strict schedule I think. If the enemy had reinforcements they'd have fucked us real good by now but it would be best to firstly get the hell out of here and only then find things out.

"Alright Jim gather everyone tell them it's my order to take control of the very big. The plaguebearer is screwed anyway so we'll use what we can to get out of here." 

While were in the process of taking control of the thing we'll probably be able to unearth some things about it.

"And while you're at it make sure to spread the word that I want information about this damn thing."

I'm just gonna go back to sleep for now. I still feel like shit.

"Hey Jim if you can. Find their sleeping quarters. There's a weird stink in my room and I don't know what's causing it."

I can't sleep too well when I'm distracted by things after all.

"So lead me back to my room now and we'll talk later."
