Friday-like, Wednesday

I'm still tired. I wanted to post, but I'm gonna keep it short. I had two exams yesterday and one today, but the good news is I'm done for the week, with exams I still have class. Classes are gonna be booring with all the teachers just lecturing and no assignments or tests but hey no work. I have some stuff that'll need to be done by sometime next week and I'll probably get a jump on some of that, but nothing urgent.

Oh, oh, listen to this, I got stuck in my apartment this year because I tried to sign up for a good room deal, an early bird special, my friends kinda led me into. They both bailed on me, one of them really tried to help me out, but the office staff just wouldn't let me go. This is all just background, what's cool is that because I signed up early, I got a $200 gift card! Cha ching! I guess it's not so bad living here after all. The random roommate they stuck me with ain't a bad guy either.

Okay, so I played some Blackthorne on the SNES, great game I'll review it later, maybe tomorrow. I finally got past the underground area.

And then...

I warped back to Reeva, but not in front of the ninja-robot where I'd likely get split in two from his next blow, but to the room where we fought the giant robot.

Ash had started to grow on me. I still can't believe that she died in my arms. Actually, I guess she was probably dead before she hit my arms given the decapitation. I still don't understand why her body crumbled into dust either, the sword the ninja was using looked like an ordinary katana, maybe adamantine like my sabers, but still nothing disintegrating.

I had a pistol in one hand and a saber in the other. This ninja could be anywhere. As I walked, every once in a while I would duck just in case. I heard this improves your odds. I walked down towards the area where we had passed. I would check around corners before walking down them and I would walk very slowly and listen. All I could hear was the sound of my own not-so-stealthy footsteps.

The hallway where the ninja attacked was dark and the walls were littered with pipes and machinery to hide behind. I checked carefully before entering the area again. The ninja wasn't here, I knew he wouldn't be here probably. I kneeled next to Ash's ashes, ha, wait that's not funny. I made sure to keep my head up so I could see the ninja coming, hopefully. It was still there scattered across the smooth metal floor. Fine gray powder that clumped a little. It didn't have an odor. It was just dust. I'd collect it all later once I had defeated the ninja-robot.

I continued down the hall in my usual fashion. At the end of the very same corridor the ninja had attacked us in, was a huge room. In the center of that room was a mechanism as big as a nuclear cooling tower. It looked like one too, but a little square window on the front was open and inside it I could see a huge ruby colored refractor crystal. It was as big as a microwave oven. It however did not look like a microwave oven, much more like a crystal, yep.

Just then I had a sudden urge to warp back to Earth, I listen to those types of urges and ask questions later. It helps. Sometimes.

Until next time fellow pirates.
