CHAPTER 16
âMitchell, you are a hell of a soldier and have been a great officer so far. I cannot do anything besides pull her from the field,â I said to Mitchell in a hostile tone. He sat across from me in RV3 with a frown. âDid you need her help? No! Did she disobey a direct order? Yes. Hell, I should lash her still, even if the virum numbs the pain.â
He waited to see if I was finished. When I failed to say anything else he said, âCan I make her a droneââ
âHmmâ¦â I said, pausing him. Being a drone operator was awful. You were stuck in goggles or inside a vehicle. It would be hard to get in trouble. âGranted, but Mitchell⦠Another strike and she becomes a plumber.â
âYes, Cap, thank you. I will send in the next person.â
Perci had been sitting in the passenger chair watching the two of us talk. Willow was on my left, Nancy my right. We were holding a court of sorts. One day I would have a throne room that was not connected to my bedroom and my transportation. I would not hold council beside a frustrating bathroom door and the thin wall that revealed every toilet flush. I eyeballed the shit of that stupid little bathroom door hatch. That thing was evil.
âToo lenient,â Perci said with a scoff, breaking me off of my stare down.
âI felt it was light too. Interesting to see when she convinces him to ask to be off drone assignment,â Nancy said with a sneer. âShe is a powerful woman. He is a powerful man, though. Maybe he can handle her. We shall see. We. Shall. See.â
âShould have made her be the bouncy house cleaner. Damn, those kids are messy. They sure are having a blast, though,â Willow said while leaning to watch the kids playing out in front of the RV. âAt least we have more crixxi to watch them. Speaking of whichâ¦â
A knock sounded on the door. âEnter,â Perci said, loud enough for it to echo in the RV.
Everly entered with Daphne right behind her. They both wore repurposed human clothes: Everly in yoga pants and a Gtube shirt, Daphne in a skirt and tube top. Their tails jutted at odd angles as they were ill-fitted to the outfits. We would be needing to make custom clothing at some point. Even I was in shirts not fitting my new bulky frame. I found shorts that were too tight, which left me feeling odd wearing a crixxi male kilt when not on duty.
âHello,â I said to the two beauties. âWhat brings you to my table? Would you like a drink?â
âCoffee, please. I had a sip in the dining area. It was amazing,â Everly said with a wide smile. âHello, wives of the tribe master. You look lovely.â
Pleasantries were exchanged with genuine smiles. I stretched out of the booth to have my spot stolen from Perci. Everly sat beside Nancy while Daphne remained standing. I poured the thick steaming black substance to the halfway mark.
