Grand Admiral Logbook Entry

"Who the hell's the dude been mean-muggin' all the officers?"

"You didn't hear? He's one of the top guys at UES. Ranks above the Captain, even. Grand Admiral, I think. Top of the top dogs. Added to the ship's roster last minute. Guess the Board called it in."

"Nah, I been wondering what his deal was. Shot me a glance the other day like I was doin' something wrong. Man, I was just eatin' lunch! 'm I eating lunch wrong now?"

"The guy's super scary, I've heard stories. If they're even half-way true, I want the hell off of this ship."

"Like what?"

"On his last assignment he was there for the long term, had his office filled to the brim with a bunch of art. Paintings all over the walls, weird sculptures all lined up on tables. Seems he's a big collector. One day, one of the grunts went in for a talking to and knocked something over on accident. The thing got shattered into bits. The Grand Admiral was stone-faced, just ordered him back to his quarters. Next day, 0600 sharp, grunt gets yanked out of bed and marched outside. Had him face the wall and executed the guy. Did the deed himself. A pile of ash got sent back home to the guy's mom."

"Nah, stop cappin'. Ain't no way he could get away with that kinda thing."

"Who's he got to answer to? There's a couple other Admirals at the same rank, and above them it's just the Board of Directors."

"And the Board is just chill with this dude killin' his guys whenever he wants?"

"Guess he's that valuable to them. If that's really how they feel, I'm turning in my papers once we get back home. I want nothing more to do with this company, man."

"So what the hell we doin' on this mission if they sent *him*?"

"After hearing all that, I don't think I wanna know. If you ever end up having a meeting in his office, just be careful not to touch **anything**."

"Ain't that the truth."
