Chapter 20: The Guy With All The Problems

Officer Coal ran as quickly as he could to Mr. Bedlam’s quarters. The Inquisition’s repairs were nearly complete, but Mr. Bedlam had given Officer Coal control over the entire operation. He had been holed up in his room for days, ever since he called Emperor Worthright. Officer Coal nearly burst through the door when he arrived. He steadied himself and gently knocked on the door.

Before his knuckles even fully connect Mr. Bedlam answered from within, “What?!”

Officer Coal gulped and slowly opened the door, “Sir,” Officer Coal stepped inside Mr. Bedlam’s room to deliver his news but was promptly interrupted.

“Is the ship ready?” Mr. Bedlam asks, overly eager, “I need to intercept Aliorah at whichever Sanctum she chooses to go to… probably Prometheus… but I can’t do that if the damned ship isn’t fixed!”

Officer Coal manages to keep his cool and clears his throat, “The ship should be ready in the next few hours, sir. I actually have another matter to discuss.”
