the thinking man’s guru

The order to shut down the Admiralty came quietly. Within moments shock waves were reverberating throughout the corridors of Old Main, right on down to Corporal Effects’ office, who promptly picked up the intercom.

“Sorry for the interruption sir, but I thought perhaps the General should know the Admiralty is being powered down.”

“Who the hell gave the order to shut down the Admiralty?” barked General Karma.

“That would be the TMG, sir,” replied the corporal, who couldn’t help but notice he was inexplicably beginning to perspire.

“Good God,” winced the General, trying to ignore the sudden burning in his chest. He bustled out the door, muttering something under his breath about those damn civilians, and desperately wondering if he would live another day.
