Issac leaned back in his chair and pinched the bridge of his nose. "I've seen to many reports lately." Issac said to himself as he leaned forward. He leafed through a few reports from Luna II and Jaburo strewn across the desk in his quarters. "More of the same." he thought. Despite what the Federation might say. The war could go either way at this point.
That thought drew Issac's eyes to a small box sitting at the corner of his desk. Inside the box were the rank pins of a Sublieutenant. The news had just come in today but so far Issac hadn't taken them from the box. Issac stared for a few more seconds before saying. "I need a drink." With that he opened the bottom right draw of his desk and produced a small metal flask. He quickly unscrewed the metal cap and took a swig. He felt a little better as he felt the alcohol burn as it went down his throat.
Issac considered taking another swig but decided against it. "If only I could." he muttered as he resealed the flask and returned it to the draw. He punched a few buttons on his desk to connect himself to the bridge.
"Yes?" came the cherry reply from Rhin over the comm. "Have Rose report to my quarters for a briefing please." said Issac. Rhin confirmed the orders and closed the line. "Well at least someones in a good mood." thought Issac. He leaned back in his chair again trying to relax a little before Rose arrived. "I should have taken another drink." he thought before he closed his eyes for a moment.
