“We have been given a mission of the utmost importance by our most beloved Emperor. At all times, your total obedience and loyalty are expected.”
With that, she watched her troops, a mixture of stern-faced men and women, walk up the long ramp to the ship.
A sound of feet clattering. Audrey turned to see one of her troops running towards her.
A young woman with long, blonde hair and piercing blue eyes spoke. She was trembling. “I’m so sorry for being late. There is no excuse.”
I should really punish her. Set a good example for the others.
Audrey looked behind her. All the other troops are inside.
However, I could use an assistant. And she does look good.
“What is your name, trooper?” Audrey asks in a softer tone.
“Brona,” she replies, standing upright.
“Well, Brona, as punishment, you will be my personal assistant for the mission.”
Bron’s eyes flicker towards her and then away. “Okay, as you wish.”
“Walk behind me at all times. Speak only when spoken to. Now come along.”
Audrey pushed her joystick forward, and they made their way up the rampway into the ship. Inside, the troopers were already readying their hibernation pods.
Audrey headed to the bridge to talk to the captain.
