I wake up the next morning on the floor of my Bunk in a cold sweat.
With all that has happened from the death of the captain of our vessel to the mysterious orbs that are unbeknownst to some of us, I have been having nightmares.
     Nightmares that could compromise me if something were to happen to the chancellor. So I decide togo to the psychiatrists ward see what they can find out.
     I go down and talk a bit with him and he thinks it is just stress.
     I get the call from the guard post that I start guarding the chancellor today.
     "Has it really been a week?" I asked myself.
     I walk into my bunk and put on my armor with Quinn, my now wife, helping. Then I reached over to the wall and opened my rack which had my custom weapons load out nothing much happened today until about 1500
Our ship went into an asteroid field and of course we got dinged a bit then out of nowhere I hear a grinding and tearing of metal then a sickening crunch as an asteroid grates it's way into the hull feet away from me the chancellor comes out to see the commotion and I shove him back into the room, and hit the emergency lockdown alert on my wrist pad shutting this corridor down so no more oxygen is wasted.
     My next order of business is to push the asteroid out of the hull so the emergency doors can seal till permanent patch work can be done.
     I grab the safety harness upon my waist and attach it to the handholds across the aisle from the meteor. I walk up to the meteor and shove! Only for it to wiggle.I reach on my back and feel for a special weapon that is normally used for mining that was rigged up by the R&D guys for me.
     I finally grab the Blanche Laser Pick and aim at the center of the meteor. I fire blasting me back into the wall and ripping away half of the meteor with it.
     "Fuck!" I say as my shoulder aches from the impact. I brace against the wall this time and take aim. I deeply breathe I can feel the energy hum in the guns core waiting to be discharged through the barrel the moment I push the trigger I hear the groan on the hull under the pressure of no oxygen as my suit is supplying me with it. I hear the chancellor banging upon the door trying to communicate to me to see if I am ok.
     I take aim.
     "Breath"
      I cock it.
      "Steady"
      I fire it.
      BOOOOOM!
      The explosion pushes me flat against the wall as the meteor blasts out if the hull and the emergency doors slam back. I release the lockdown and oxygen returns.
    The door opens and the chancellor comes out laughs and hugs me.
     "You are your mothers son you dumb ass." He says to me.
