Posted by Ensign Jorik Thoran (Navigator/Pilot) in Side Sim: Chess Conflicts
Jorik sat across a table from a human crewmember, who was in the Sciences blue color. Though he wasn’t concerned with that, instead focused on the 3d chess board in front of him. Moving his Bishop right one-half level, he took one of his opponent’s Knights.

“So how does this piece move?” The younger man across from him asked, pointing to his Rook. Jorik frowned at him. This was the fifth time this guy asked him a rules question, despite claiming he knew how to play chess.

“ARGH!!!!” Jorik yelled, standing up and sweeping the board and pieces to one side and off the table, everything clattering loudly onto the floor, causing everyone to turn and look at him. He slammed his hands down on the table, leaning over it and shouting at the other man, loudly, “ARE YOU ALWAYS THIS INCOMPETENT?! I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU KNOW HOW TO PLAY CHESS?!!!!!!”

Roman was in the room, grabbing a quick lunch. He was late out for lunch. Today had been busy, with a lot of running back and forth across the ship for XO duties. Chef Gorshin had him covered, his usual quick lunch prepared and ready.

Before he could leave with his food, there was a voice so loud it made his ears ring, followed by plastic pieces clattering to the floor. He whirled around faster than a spinning top, marching swiftly towards Jorik. “Ensign Thoran, I suggest you find a more productive way to manage your anger, and do it swiftly.” His voice was not loud or angry but level and icy. “That sort of behaviour will not be tolerated on this ship.”
