Now, Captain!

"Fucking hell!"

I cursed with my whole body shaking. Not cause by the constant attack by the monster, but the thing, I got to know just now.

It is big enough to make me shake all over.

"What is it?" he asked worriedly.

"Its power; it is more than we had imagined," I lied, and he nodded. "It indeed is powerful," he said, worry on his deepening as he intensified his attacks.

I should have told the truth, but I didn't. The truth would affect the things for worse. I don't want that.

We are already struggling against it, and I don't do anything to do or say that will make things worse than it is. Especially not it being a Prime monster; that might make the captain think about retreat.

Yes, the monster is Prime.

It is shocking, but true. My clone had checked it multiple times, and it was positive always.
