Snippet #2546977

The alarm chimed in, it was faint, but steadily grew louder until it was almost unbearable. Jack Opened his eyes and smacked the alarm once. It drifted away in zero gravity , spinning as it went. Time was a bothersome thing that didn't need to exist as far as he was concerned. He yawned a bit and stretched , enjoying the weightlessness of everything for a moment. Jack was aboard his personal ZX-1 star fighter mod 1. A personal ship designed for low atmospheric / deep space combat. It was also modified to allow two people to live on the ship with decent space for them to move about. Jack however was alone.

" Moris, Gravity please."

There was a chime and then everything settled to the floor, including jack who simply came down from zero gravity like he was getting off an escalator.

" Moris, news please."

Again there was chime, followed by a male computer voice. " in the last 48 hours there have been no significant events as per your standards. In other news the Dalh empire has raised the bounty on the head of the Knox Rebellion to 200 million DED. The Rebellion on XSD-331 has ended with the Dahl glassing the planet."

Jack nodded to him self moving from his ships cargo hold.

"Moris, Music, track 3464. "

Chime, Suddenly the whole ship buzzed from the sound of bass guitar, Guitars joined in a moment later.
The music was so loud you could watch water jump in a glass from the bass. Jack nodded in time to it, moving through the ship in time with the music. He opened the storage unit and grabbed a water pack and a foil wrapped bag, labeled cheese burger.
What to do what to do...

The ship chimed "Sir, you have a call from Deata , she says it's about the company."

"Is it something I've known about?"

" The workers are unhappy with things as they are on Earth."

Jack sighed sinking into his captains chair, well it was more cockpit but all the same it was comfortable.

"Double their pay, take it out from my personal account, Tell Deata if she calls again i'm going to fire her. Inform her she can reach me by net mail. " He tore open the bag, steam rolled off the double melt bacon burger...

" Moris, Today is gonna be interesting. "

The ship chimed. " Every day is interesting with you sir.
