“Elements,” Destorie N’Dak fumed as he exited the room. “I will na ever forgive that man as long as I take in breath.”

 

Fuelled by his increasing frustrations with his father, t’Rexan, and the rest of the crew he just wanted to lash out at something, someone, anything. He wanted something to feel as torn apart as he did at the very moment.

 

Smacking the buttons on the lift panel, he waited impatiently. The lift doors opened and he wasted no time in entering, barking the location of his quarters as he went. The doors closed and the gentle hum filled the lift.

 

He had na asked for any of this, and yet, he found himself upto his pointed ears in deception, betrayal and politics. It would be a wonder if the crew did na off him before the end of the day. Na that it mattered because he felt sure that t’Rexan, should she survive this mess would throw him out the nearest airlock.

 

There was of course, another option. There was a way to end this mess once and for quii. He’d beat them all to the punch. Na, na…he would na yy’a himself, he was far to proud to ever to do that…na…he would resign from the Galae—or at least put in for a transfer khoi the Talon.

 

Both had their pluses. He could easily resign his commission with the Galae—he’d served his time and his contract would be up soon. After that, he could seek employment as a private d’heno. Perhaps for some Deihu or other politician—you could never have to many good d’heno, especially ios that had been Galae officers.

 

The other, transferring, meant that he’d keep his job within the Galae, a stepping stone towards more powerful positions down the road; yet he would be free of the tyrannical t’Rexan. He could likely get posted aboard another vessel with in weeks and quickly work his up the command ranks.

 

In either case, it seemed a better option than staying with t’Yrant, who he feared would be even more paranoid and filled with venom now that she’d been in subject of his fathers political ambitions and games. The sins of the father would fall upon him.
