Anton: King me...
Alexi chuckled.
Alexi: You mean "Queen me"...
Anton and Alexi were sitting in the lounge of the bar, on the King Raven. They were playing chess with holographic pieces, on a holographic board. Anton's pawn had reached the other end of the board, it's model changed from that of a generic pawn, to that of a generic queen.
Anton: Bah...I hate this holographic board...Didn't you bring your own chess board?
Alexi: Yes...But it was confiscated...check...Something about the chess pieces being too easy to hide explosives on...
Alexi made his move, keeping the conversation rolling as he did.
Anton moved his king.
Anton: That's ridiculous...You would think, someone had to have done that before the UNSC would have checked for that...
Alexi: Yep...They told me I wouldn't need it anyway, what with all these...holo-tables. So they sent it back home.
Alexi moved his knight.
Alexi: Check.
Anton: Well that's good...They didn't destroy it.
Anton moved his king.
Alexi: What makes you think they would destroy it?
Anton: Because the UNSC is run by robots my friend...
And robots, don't care for personal belongings...
Alexi moved his rook.
Alexi: Check, and by robots do you mean actual robots, or people who act like robots.
Anton shrugged, and moved his king again.
Anton: Either.
Alexi moved his bishop, and laughed.
Alexi: Well, these "robots" are writing our paychecks,
So we kind of have to do everything they say.
Anton: Da...But I don't like it....
Alexi moved his queen.
Alexi: Checkmate.
Anton: No no...I can still move my king he--hmm...
Damn it.
Anton slammed his palm down on the table, the holographic display of the chess board stuttered
Anton sighed.
Anton: I hate this game...
Alexi: Yeah, I think checkers is more your speed.
Anton laughed, and said
Anton: Fuck you!
Anton finished his glass of water, and looked over Alexi's shoulder, and stared at 2 marines sitting in a booth.
Anton: Those Janitors sure got promoted fast...
Alexi: What?
Anton: Those janitors we saw...
Alexi stared at Anton, he was confused.
Alexi: ....What?
Anton: When we first arrived on this ship, there were 2 janitors who we kept bumping into...
Don't you remember them?
Alexi: Umm...
Anton: Mustache and Red Eyes...
Alexi: I don't even remember the names of our squadmates, what makes you think I'd remember 2...*pfft*...Janitors?
Anton: Well they're no longer janitors...look.
Alexi looked behind him, and saw 2 marines quickly finish their drinks, and inconspicuously make their way to the exit.
Anton: Hmmm...weird...
Entsky, Kovlov, we're being deployed, get to the Drop Bay, ASAP.
Alexi spoke into his comm.
Alexi: Roger, Entsky out.
Alexi laughed, and finished his glass of water. Alexi and Anton grabbed their helmets.
Alexi made radio sounds with his mouth
roger Roger...What's your vector Victor...
Anton laughed, and put on his helmet.
The 2 ran out of the bar, leaving the holographic display of the chess game on.
the score was Kestrel: 7 and Kozy Kovlov: 0
