Subject: Grail: "The Great Brightness" - 'Boredom'
47307.25 ; 0900, Chief Kirby's Quarters
"Well shit," mumbled Kirby. The small computer terminal across
from him had beaten him in chess again. He didn't know how many times he
had played. He didn't know how many times he had lost, either, but he had
won only twice, and that was at the beginning, when the difficulty level
was low.
The general quarters order had kept him bound for too long. He
saw his men for their daily drills, but that only took about five hours of
every day. He had dressed down his rifle countless times, and had become
quite good, in his opinion, at solitaire. If something didn't change
quickly, he was going to go nuts.
The only thing that kept him going was the fact that action would
be found on Kerestia. And that was enough.
