He said. "With orders to kill." "And if I don't want to know this information?" General Cephalopoda pointed to the door. "The door's right there, Colonel. You can just mosey on out there any time." His face was expressionless. "But you would have to quit the forces, and never speak of this conversation to anyone. Ever. Or you die." Blue hesitated. He looked at the floor, then looked at the General's eyes. "Okay, then. Lay it on me."
