Inevitable Mistake Prevention

Challenges in life are just lifes way of telling you "hey yes you, I don't like you at all." - Chronicles of Lorentino

I didn't know what to say really. I should have known it was coming. Shira even directly mentioned it would happen. And yet there I was awestruck as the damnable shield came up and trapped Shira and I on the surface. I wanted to say something, anything to try and explain that I wasn't a damned fool, but there weren't words that could do that. I was a stupid fool who possibly stepped into a Morley trap.

"So you're an idiot."

"All part of my plan Shira, don't worry." I was worried, but I couldn't let that on. Its how I am, terrified to the core, but trying to play it off like I'm not at all. Its how I go through life 99% terror, 1% actual ability at something.

"Well while you are coming up with a fake plan, the rest of the fleet will come up with a real one. I already alerted them to something like this happening."

"Oh ye of little..."

"All the information in your journals showing you are impetuous and have no back up plans, yes that's who I am. Now lets get to this adventure." We got out of the shuttle and found no signs of enemies. There were some weather worn structures, but nothing looked modern. So the trap was hopefully as old as the structures and thus easily defeated. I did make note to discuss with Phil what he considered interesting. Apparently it was code for "Might get Trezlan killed" which would suggest counter programming to my programming. A thought I didn't like at all. We had three doors to choose from that lead deeper in, they were color coded even, a rusted red door, a faded green one, or an even more faded blue one.

"So split up?" Shira clearly didn't know how this kind of thing worked.

"No, we take the red door, the other two are traps."

"Are you joking?"

"Trust me its my adventure." I chose red because I like red, the other two being traps was just complete bullshittery. Which is a word despite no dictionary supporting it. One day I'll be the only dictionary and then all my mispellings will become the true spellings.

"This seems like several kinds of folly Trezlan, but I am your hostage until the fleet frees us, so with heavy robotic soul I say lead on."

"Thats the spirit!" I didn't have to hear the sigh to know she made one, it was implied.
