Chapter 31

What happens now?
The captain's room
You wake up with a thud as you land on something soft. Opening your eyes, you see that you are on a large bed, the red sheets like silk against your skin. The clone has thrown you on the bed; you must have fallen asleep as she was carrying you. Looking around, you see personal quarters befitting the captain of the Red Fleet. The walls are dark red wood panels, and even the sliding blast doors are decorated the same way. It is a spacious room by starship standards, adorned with all manner of trophies and treasures.
The room is dimly lit by holo-torches lining the walls. A suit of Gardius Assassin armor stands watch in the corner; you're not sure if there is a person underneath the mass of glossy black interlocking plates. A holographic galaxy map, purely for decorative purposes, sits atop a marble pedestal in the other corner. It casts menacing shadows over the stuffed Crol standing next to it, arms raised as if ready to attack. You even see a wooden treasure chest on the floor filled to the brim with sparkling gems and coins.
"Stay here," the clone flatly states before turning and walking out of the room. After the doors soundless slide shut behind her, you get out of the bed and look around. It would be suicide to try to fight your way out, but you still scan the room for anything you might be able to use as a weapon. Aside from some assorted junk that could be used as clubs, you see a pair of crossed vibro-swords hanging on the wall.
Unfortunately, you can't find any clothing that will fit you. It looks like Cale wants to keep you naked. You do see a private shower and toilet, and you take the opportunity to wash up while you try to formulate some kind of plan.
After you've dried yourself off, you step back into the room just in time to see the doors slide open.
