Nicholas unclipped his rank pips and set them on his desk. He changed out of his uniform and donned civilian clothes. It had been a day. He had decisions to make. Decisions that had pressed on the back of his mind for months, itching his conscience and soul. He stood at the replicator and requested a box. Just… a box. He stuffed it in his jacket pocket and considered what he was about to do.

Nicholas walked out of his home and down several streets. Such as he was, he drew little attention, but he hoped no one was watching. Coming to the Government building, it was after hours, everyone would be gone, he needed to get in under his own power. he went around the back, found a service hatch and crawled in. It was quite the maze, but he got into the Governor’s office, sat behind the desk, and waited.

Morning came, and when the door opened Nicholas said “Good morning Hyrushi. You’re a tad late.”
