    The funny thing is it didn’t seem to be coming from outside but from above me. I thought I must be insane until I feel a warm breath brushing against my chilly skin. I look up and see a figure hanging by their foot out of the air vent just a few inches above me. I’m about to scream when he covers my mouth with his hand just as he falls and lands on the ground.

I needed to know some details of what is going on, therefore I’m making my way to the captain’s headquarters.

Every day he would use his superfluous title as ‘officer’ to subject us to his whims, just to inflate his pompous ego.…
