Major Harris 'No title'
Blue Dwarf
Security office
Harris sat in his chair with elbows resting on the desk holding a bottle of vodka in both hands turning it around and around.
"I hate me life!" Harris hissed and then he smashed the bottle of vodka into the metal bin beside the desk.
Nearly a year since he came aboard this giant rustbucket and what did he have to show for it, very little of his memories before his first assignment had returned, he still had no idea who is family is apart from Bob his gun-for-hire brother and he had to deal with a mountion of paperwork, mainly complaints about some of the security staff. What was worse was that he was developing a drinking problem and that his shrink had been transferred back to Earth.
"Jackson." Harris called over the ship's interal com.
"Yes Major Harris sir?" Jackson replied over the com.
"Report to the security office at once." Harris ordered.
About ten minutes later.
Jackson arrived at the security office and enquried. "Is there something you want Major Harris sir?"
"I'm stepping down as head of security and making you acting head of security." Harris told Jackson.
"Major!?" Jackson said rather surprised.
"I need time to think." Harris said. "I'll be back to collect my post again so warn the others if they out a foot out of place while... while I'm sorting things out... they'll regert it!"
"Yes Major." Jackson said.
With that Harris rose from his chair and left the office.
Jackson noticed the scent of vodka in the air that seemed to be coming from bin, leaning over the desk he saw the smashed remains of a vodka bottle and its' contains floating around in the bottom of the bin.
