Mission Accomplishedish

"So you released a deadly biological agent underground without caution to what that could cause long term."

"But I killed your terrorists."

"Before you knew if there were more of them or if they were getting help on the inside." I frowned, they didn't like my solution and here I thought I was the one sad people would die. I figured with my failure to produce a tenable solution my time with the government was over. I was wrong.

"Well since you like killing so much."

"I actually don't like..." They threw another file at me, this time it was all in that print plastic shit people love now.

"Colony went missing, we think, no word, we don't suspect giant worms but since you're a killer of those kind of creatures we figure if that's the issue you can handle it."

"But I don't..."

"Shuttle leaves in an hour, nice to see you Captain." He said it in a way that just stuck the knife deeper. I guess I could have said no, could have told them it interrupted my drinking, but honestly as stupid as it sounds, I enjoyed having something to do. Even if I didn't like it. That's what my life had become, so directionless I accepted doing something I didn't want to do just to do something.

Pretty sad right?
