By 19:55, Bear examined every weapon and sidearm aboard the ship: from troops' rifles and sidearms to the ship's own huge weaponry, Bear searched each in great detail for flaws or repairs he had to fix. Fortunately, all of the equipment he had come across were operational, and on mint condition. One assault rifle was missing a few bullets in its clip, yet Bear inserted the missing bullets at the blink of an eye.
He didn't forget to pay attention to his own .38 Magnum, a relic from Old Earth his household had for generations, adding a leftover holographic sight on its top, and returning it to its holster.
Bear leaves the armory and heads towards the wide, open, white corridors of the Midnight Rain. Traversing the maze of pathways towards the bridge, he finds himself at the living quarters. While walking, he noticed a mysterious figure walking towards one of the cabins. Bear stops, trying to identify the figure. The cabin door closes. Engrossed in curiosity, Bear approaches the white door labeled "First Class". He knocks and politely asks:
"Hey, uh... Do you want to play Russian Roulette later? It's a fun, traditional game from Old Earth."
No response.
"Um... Okay, maybe later. I am tired too", he says, embarrassed.
Bear then continues towards the bridge to inform the Captain about the functional weaponry. Arriving at the bridge, he finds Captain Pavon’Echa sitting next to the flight computer, preparing for takeoff.
"Captain Pavon’Echa, I am happy to inform that all weaponry on the Midnight Rain is fully functional, sir."
The Captain doesn't respond, and moments after, the Captain hits a few keys and buttons of his keyboard, and the ship initiates takeoff sequence...
