Chapter 42: Club Of Office Part 1
Club of Office
"What happened to Larsen?"
It wasn't the first time Andrea had asked the question, but this time Trals answered with something more than a grunt. "We say he has become a tyrannosaur. Power without control makes a man do things he should not." Was that guilt in his voice? Or just self-awareness?
"Not everyone is like you," said Andrea.
"I am well aware that many men are inferior to me," Trals responded. "But with enough pain and enough strength, they may become dangerous enough."
They were speaking a mix of languages, mostly Eethlek on Trals's side and mostly English on hers, the HUD running interference. Funny how something so deeply weird could feel so natural. Then again, Andrea was following a scantily clad Schwarzenegger impersonator and his pet dinosaur through a battleground. Weirdness was a sliding scale.
"Okay," she said, "so maybe Chris has gotten...tougher out here. I mean good for him."
