6 Captain Maverick

Day 0 Time 0530

Captain Maverick was watching the screens in front of him with a stoic face. All but two of the screens showed carnage that was only imaginable in the video games of old. The only thing that he felt was unbridle rage towards the doctor who just had to do the experiments on his ship. Now half of his ship was lost and the other half were being barricaded, and he had already lost contact with the majority of his officers and squad leaders. His left fist was clenched so tight that his knuckles were white from the strain. One of the two screens followed the doctor as she made her way to the bridge, the other followed the abomination that was Subject 07. Savior of humanity my arse he thought to himself. Luckily if his ship was lost there were still twelve other vessels that were safe.

"Maverick-san, you there my friend?" a voice out through a projection of a middle age Japanese man.

"Yea Satoshi-san, I'm here." Maverick replied in Japanese to show respect for his long time friend.

Laughing Satoshi stated, "We can speak in English, I'm the only one on the bridge at the moment. Besides what is the point of me learning English if we only talk in my native tongue but not yours?"

"True," Maverick responded, "Did you receive my report on my current situation?" he asked.

"I did, and I don't like it. But due to the unknown variables we cannot risk a rescue attempt lest we jeopardize everyone with our actions." Satoshi responded.

"I know," Maverick paused, "Satoshi-san I will be initializing plan Delta." He continued.

"I understand, but per our orders we can only release one at a time. Luckily one should be enough." Satoshi responded.

"I hope so too." Maverick replied. After a short pause he sighed, "Satoshi-san, I'm going to close the channel if you don't hear from me after 3 hours destroy this ship, destroy the experiment."

Satoshi looked at Maverick with shock in his eyes, that quickly gave way to respect. "You got it, my friend, I hope to hear from you in 3 hours." Then the image of Satoshi vanished. Sighing again Maverick looked back at the screens and felt that he would be dead by the end of the hour.
