As usual she found him where he always was at lunch time. In the repair bay working on suits, sentries, weapons, armor. Anything to work on, he was there. Their Leviathans and gear were also stored here. Seems like they spent most of their time here when not getting sleep or doing drills. She walked over to the small table he was sitting at. His eyes were closed which meant he was either asleep or looking for something in his memory.
“So Setenph did you here about those others that survived the attack? The Soldier Dalan, Major Luthor, and Captain,, Captain,,, what's his name.” finished Cassie.
His eyes opened and fixed on her. The look on her face at her not being able to remember something told Setenph now was the perfect time to strike.
“Captain What's his Name, isn't he related to Princess What's her Name?” he said with a smile.
“God damn it stop that! Is that one your lame video game jokes. Why is it that your lineage seems to remember nothing but ancient cartoons and games. You could have been a Captain yourself by now, instead your just a Chief Engineer. Your battle scores every year for the annual test are always in the top five percent,,,” she paused.
Setenph was laughing, but he also remembered. Deep in the back of his mind. He would never forget. He shut those doors. He didn't know if they would survive or not but he did know that others wouldn't had he not shut the doors. He was glad he didn't have to live with their deaths and that those after him wouldn't either.
“Arggg, you make me so mad.” she yelled.
Setenph enjoyed teasing her, and he knew she enjoyed it even though she wouldn't admit it.
“So what do you want Flame Princess? Have a seat before you start shaking from anger and drop your lunch.” he said.
Cassie's cheeks got almost as red as the flames she fired from her incinerator.
“Stop calling me Flame Princess. God, I swear,,,”
“A lady shouldn't swear.” Setenph interrupted.
She grew red again,
“Your an asshole you know that.” she said, “Why won't they give me a transfer. If I have to deploy one more time with you,,,”
The alarms went off, the emergency lights flashed, the intercoms chimed,
“All hands to battle stations. Xeno pod located on Galantia Cross. All hands to battle stations.”
“Off I go to court my death,” Setenph started saying as he got up and grabbed his gun.
“Not poetry again!” Cassie moaned. She also started getting her gear on.
“To savor a kiss with one last breath, to look the Devil right in the eye, and flash a smile when I die.” Setenph continued.
Cassie shook her head. She would never understand this strange man she thought to herself. It seemed they had played this scene out hundreds of time. Would they make it back again or would this be the last time. With that thought she turned and looked at Setenph,
“If we make it back, before I beat the living crap out of you,”
“Yeeeesss?” said Setenph as they climbed into their Leviathans
“Could you tell me the rest of that poem.”
They powered up and ran to the dropship bay.
