Bab 178: Volantis

Aldrich spent the next few hours of the plane ride doing nothing at all. In the Null Box, severed from mentally communicating with any of his units, he found himself being unsurprisingly bored. There was only so much time he could devote to just constantly thinking about what he planned on doing, after all.

At a certain point, when Aldrich's boredom started to reach an appreciable mass, Volantis spoke out.

"I sense that you lack mental stimulation," said Volantis. "I may offer you stimulation, Armored."

The idea of Volantis offering Aldrich any kind of 'stimulation' repulsed him, and that was something considering Aldrich had a very high tolerance for almost anything.

"Please don't ever use that phrase with me again," said Aldrich.

"My apologies, Armored," said Volantis.

"But you're right, I do have nothing to do," said Aldrich. He paused for a moment, remembering his time talking with the people at the shelter in Haven.
