At the initial stage of this cycle, Richard Parker seemed to lose his mind and flipped to the last page.
In that blank space, in erratic handwriting, he wrote down an intense question: "FXXX... FXXX... What the hell are you?"
"Tell me, what the hell are you, what do you want to do? Do you want me dead? Want me to collapse? To surrender to you, kneel before you and beg for forgiveness?"
"Speak up, come on, say it."
Richard's frenzied questioning received no answer. He jerked his head around and saw through the Escape Pod's transparent door and window, a multitude of heads crowding there, with fierce smiles that chilled him to the bone.
"Ha ha ha... ha ha ha..."
"Open the door, Captain, open it now."
Outside, all of Richard's subordinate partners gathered, their faces pressed against the glass, their bulging eyes fixated on Richard Parker.
They continuously banged against the door, trying to force their way in.
