CH594 Dark Choice II
***
The Captain remained silent for nearly five full minutes, weighing their options over and over again.
It wasn't that he couldn't see the obvious choice.
It was that the 'obvious' choice… was not one he could easily make.
Eventually, he could no longer deceive himself.
They did not have multiple options.
In truth…
They only had one.
"We don't need six people to deliver the sample," the Captain said.
His words lingered in the air like poison as realisation dawned upon his squad.
No one spoke.
That was… until Brenden laughed.
A dry, broken sound.
"Well, I'll be damned, Cap. You actually came up with a solution," he said with a grim grin.
The others nodded as well.
The Captain's eyes trembled.
No one rejected his unthinkable proposal.
In fact… they accepted it.
That was the most horrifying part.
Torvar nodded, scratching his beard.
