She knew +that today's debrief was going to be a frustrating one. She heard a knock on +her door and knew it was Alicia and Zekas ready to debrief. She let them in and +stated "Sit." like she was telling animals what to do. + +"So, let's talk about the...unorthodox strategy I saw on the field today." + +_Oh no, this is how I die, isn't it?_, thought Alicia. + +Belsa continued, "I have to admit, that is one of the best ways to get +yourselves KILLED that I have ever seen. Well done." + +Belsa clapped a very sarcastic slow clap. + +"Excuse me, I think I can exp-" + +Belsa raised a hand and cut Alicia off. + +"Now, what's done is done and all we can really do is learn from these mistakes +so that future events won't end up repeating this, right?" + +Alicia cautiously nodded and looked to Zekas. Zekas had a very dumb grin on his +face. He was loving every minute of this. + +Belsa looked over at Zekas and glared with the force of a thousand suns. Zekas' +grin quickly turned into a grimace. Belsa smiled and redirected her scolding. +"Now, for you. What the hell were YOU thinking letting yourself get pincered +like that? That was even dumber than what that cat did." + +Zekas stuttered back "But I didn't see them! Those sneps came out of nowhere and +they got us!" + +"So you're _really_ telling me you didn't notice a bunch of gray streaks coming +at you contrasted against a green field? I'm not an expert in shark eyesight but +what I know about cetacean eyesight tells me the difference is as clear as night +and day. Did _anyone_ in your cadre of oafs see them?" + +"Well we did see them when they attacked us." + +Belsa facepalmed. One of these days she was going to actually hurt herself doing +this job. + +Alicia cut in "By the way, we accidentally tore the flag in the process of +wrestling it free. Is there anything we need to do about that?" + +Belsa laughed. "Not unless you make a habit of it. Say speak of which, how did +you manage to get the flag away anyways?" + +Alicia pointed at Zekas and answered "Apparently our resident genius over there +thought a cut on my leg was the flag. It's fine now, but it seems my blood is +the exact same red as the flag, which made him think I stole the flag or +something. Tistus actually stole the flag and got away with it as soon as he +could." + +"You know, I was wrong. That strategy wasn't just an amazing way to get yourself +killed, I'm amazed you didn't get infected. You took that to the aopthecary +right?" + +"Yes ma'am. I've always been a fast healer so the field bandage did most of the +trick." + +"Alright. I've heard everything I need to know. You two are dismissed. Try to +not get yourself killed next time, or I'll be there when you get judged." + +Zekas stood up and proudly trod off towards his team's barracks. Alicia +stretched a moment and then continued towards the mess hall. Being scolded at +always made Alicia hungry. diff --git a/src/zz_end/dictionary.md b/src/zz_end/dictionary.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..39d285c --- /dev/null +++ b/src/zz_end/dictionary.md @@ -0,0 +1,7 @@ +## Dictionary + +This list of words will help you + +#### Snep + +Snow Leopard.
