Chaos Theory, Pt 5

The doors to the bridge snapped open as Merlin walked through. He whistled in awe at the simplicity and efficiency of the bridge’s layout. It was the first time he had ever been on a bridge like this, and he was absolutely delighted to the core.

Valos stood in the middle along a catwalk, while his officers and their terminals surrounded him. And all along the walls around them were multiple large MFDs which displayed all manner of information. Some were filled with live feeds of the battle, while others were covered in readouts and data outputs.

Valos spotted Merlin, and waved him over to his side.

“Ah, there he is! Man of the hour! Come on over.”

A huge grin filled Merlin’s face as he stood next to the Templar.

“I guess I did good, huh?”

“Good? You did great! Showed us where the big money is, and boy oh boy, this is some big fuckin’ money.”

“Can’t ever have enough of it, right?”

Valos nodded emphatically. Then he put a hand on Merlin’s shoulder and patted it.
