A blast from the past... Pt. 2

The profile fibally loaded up, Chrizla could tell because the modem had
stopped whirring. He sat dow in front of the monitor and began to read.

One name stood out to Chrizla in particular, Nicholas Roylott-
Mallard. "No!" he gasped, "It can't be!" he re-read the profile and
noticed at the bottom a foot-note:
ATTATCHED PROFILES: MIDDLETON, ALEXANDRA & ROYLOTT-MALLARD, NICHOLAS
Chrizla highlighted Nick's name and pressed the C= key. Thankfully,
the syetem loaded attached profiles with the query, so it did not take
long for Nick's to appear.

"Posting SCS Achillie" Chrizla read, "He was killed the week before he
was due to take that post, wasn't he?" he asked no-one in particular.
"Talking to yourself." a disembodied voice said, "First sign of
madness." Chrizla closed his eyes; "Shut up, Holly" he ordered. "Wait
a tick!" he called Holly back before he could fully dissolve from the
screen, "Where is Jessie, Holly?" Holly took a while to respond,
clearly he was having trouble recalling data while suffering from the
senility virus; "Away mission." he said finnally, "Last report said
they were in danger of being eaten by a giant hamster." Chrizla looked
up. "A what?" he asked, confused, "Never mind, don't answer that.
When she gets back, and please God let her get back, tell her I want to
see her." Holly nodded and said "Will do." and dissolved from the
screen. Nick's Space Corps profile re-appeared in his place, so
Chrizla put his boot through the monitor.
He collapsed in the bed again, and slept. He hoped that by the time he
woke up, Jessie would be waiting for him at the end of his bed.
To be continued, again...
