WHO: Gorak
WHERE: Suid Sidal

Gorak steps onto the bridge of the Suid Sidal. He is dressed in an all new uniform and his hair is perfectly combed. But he doesn't look happy.

Pupuhed notices the look on Gorak's face and casually moves a hand towards a button on his chair as he talks. "Welcome general. I was expecting you much sooner in light of the battle taking place. I trust your delay was due to yeoman Clarissa's visit?"

Gorak was glad his ruse with the yeoman paid off. "It was not. You are relieved of command, captain Vladimoore Pupuhed."

Pupuhed didn't expect this to happen so soon. He suddenly realizes that the general was not spending his time with the yeoman as he was led to believe. He was preparing for a coup. But Pupuhed is not about to give up his ship so easily. He knows he needs to move quickly before the general makes the official announcement.

The captain presses the button on his chair that opens the handgun compartment. The compartment doesn't open. He pushes the button again. No response. Looking up at the general, he asks, "How...?"

Gorak: "I hacked into your chair using my command override. I outrank you, captain, and I am not an idiot. I believe one of these is what you are looking for." The general then produces a handgun of his own.

Suddenly insane with rage, and hoping to catch the general off guard, Pupuhed pulls out his personal dagger and leaps at the general with a low growl. He is so fast that he almost makes it before he is shot square in the chest.

The prince's gun is set to stun and Pupuhed falls backwards, reeling. Lord Gorak walks over to the fallen captain and stands over him.

Pupuhed held on to consciousness out of sheer hate. "You... made a... promise...not to take... command."

Gorak: "You of all people should know, Vlad, that a promise made to a madman is not binding."

Pupuhed then passes out, his reign of terror at an end.
