NO.
Wait for him to fall asleep and make a silent exit.
If we stay any longer after The Commander falls asleep,it puts us in extreme peril,if something new is to happen.(i.e:Commander wakes up at sound of tapping keys)
except we don't know where the KPF is
The commander seems to go back to the computer and remains there for about half and hour- probably checking reports or something- before laying back down. You wait another hour or so before you silently shift out.
The room is almost completely dark, the only light being a pulsing purple and red glow from outside the large window. The shiny lower floor catches the light and throws it around the room, creating a mesmerizing light show.
You don't have time to sit and watch, so you head for the computer. It's still on, but you don't see anything interesting.
You're about to look at a report called "KPF Status Report #5823" until you hear what sounds like a gun being loaded.
"Who the hell are you?"
You whirl around and find yourself face-to-face with the commander himself. Surprisingly, he doesn't look anything like a robot.
The commander stands a few inches shorter than you- making him about 6'5"- with wide, strong-looking shoulders. He certainly looks like he's spent countless years in the military, judging by his powerful-looking body. His face is rather scarred, probably from a good deal of battling.
The commander's face changes slightly as he seems to recognize you. "Well, it's certainly been a while, VN02," he says, smiling. It doesn't look like an "oh welcome home" smile, though. "I'm impressed that you managed to get out of that PDA as well as getting this far. Unfortunately, after I've finished with you, you'll be headed to the same place as your... oh, let's call him your
sibling."
For some reason that you can't determine, his words irritate you quite a bit. The next thing you know, you're leaping at the commander, grabbing his neck, and pinning him to the floor.
"You're a lot less demented than I remember," he muses. "Tell me, VN02, why did you come here? Was it to claim revenge on me for putting you in a lowly PDA?" He makes a small laugh. "I'd be impressed if you came here for some other reason."
You tighten your hold on his neck. "I'd certainly hope you're impressed, then," you hiss.
"Well, you always had ambitious goals. I remember what you were like after only an hour of becoming sentient. Always trying t-"
He's cut off as you tighten your hold again. "I don't have the time for that. How about you tell me something: the location of the main KPF."
"Certainly," he replies, which takes you by surprise. "You see that structure in the middle of the station? You can see it from the window."
"That's it?" you say, surprised.
"Don't sound so surprised, where else would it be?"
You're silent for a moment. "Clever," you finally say.
"Well, we certainly couldn't leave anyone to be taken hostage," the commander smiles.
"And the other production facility is there also?"
"Exposure from the very beginning is the best time to start the corruption process."
You're tempted to kill him right here, right now. Placing the KPF where it can kill all crew members instantly is just... You just can't describe it.
What will you do?
