Today was pretty quiet. I woke up and took one of my long walks I like to take. I just can't get enough of walking to faraway places. I'm like a walk-a-holic. I was actually going to walk down and take a bus to Heroes and Dragons, a favorite comic store of my friends and mine, but I decided on postponing that to a later date. I just walked down to the GameStop on Rosewood and drooled for awhile. Did some homework, then I went to Blue Cactus for dinner. I probably shouldn't have, but I was craving. I came back and played some games.
And then...
I pulled out my adamantine saber. Archaic, I know, but it's got a flair that you just can't beat. Ash and I were standing in the doorway and we could see the red glow of the robot's one eye. Ash was muttering some plan using one of Captain's crew as bait, but I wasn't listening. The thing hadn't spotted us and it was on a patrol routine. I waited for it to turn its back and then I rushed in. The humanoid robot barely had time to turn around, let alone aim its pitiful gun, before I cleaved deep into its mechanical cranium.
"Come on Ash, it's not brain surgery."
Ash told me not to get so cocky. Then she asked why I had appeared to flicker before the fight. I explained that I had gained the ability to warp between two points in space and that I had just come back from Earth. I told her that I had been there about one day, but no time passes between these two places. Why you ask? Well, thanks to Special Pirate Relativity if two pirates are at least 1.7 trillion leagues apart then no time passes relative to the other.
"Okay Keelhaul, but you gotta be more careful with the next robot. It's a Golem class; he's big and he's mean."
I should note that my name on Earth is Chris, but I chose a more piratey alias for my adventures in space. Keelhaul. It's funny 'cause if you get keelhauled in space then you like, explode... Well I thought it was clever.
Until next time fellow pirates.
