Why the fuck is the cleaning squad of rusties coming your way now? The wetware cleaning isn't due for another 4 hours and 21 minutes. Are they trying to get their job done before the Condesce arrives? To avoid her? What a bunch of idiots.

Then again, you're not responsible for any of this, you're just the ship, them fucking up isn't going to cause you problems. Who cares if one of the highbloods gets pissed at some rusties, right?

However it sure would have been nicer if they did their thing while you were busy with... anything really. And not as you are, fully aware of everything in this room, seeing through the red and blue eyes. Seeing them.

Because seeing these 3 disgusts you.

Their rust blood evokes distant reminders of that one person , who put you here. You didn't know the real meaning of pitch up until he went and died on you all, taking the quick way out while you got to suffer for the rest of your days. You also didn't know one could possibly hate someone this much for so long. It's like the vast void inside of you gains mass and it's all sparks and lightning, yearning to strike. It gnaws at you. And it is never appeased, no matter how many atrocious things you imagine yourself doing to him.

.

You sigh and try to distract yourself from that bleak train of thought. Is there really nothing to be done in this ship? There aren't even any communications coming in. You just want anything that can distract you from yourself, from thoughts, from feeling.

Your eyes meet with the other reason why you dislike these rusties. The female one, this nookbreath who is figuring out if you really do need cleaning (you don't, and they're 4 hours and 18 minutes too early). She has some decent telekinesis. For a rusty. It's something very laughable for the most powerful psionic to ever hatch on Alternia but regardless, as with everything else, the fish bitch found a way to use her to torment you.

Rusty telekinesis can still overpower that of a psionic battery constantly being leeched. And that's how this lowblood became such a common sight for you. If the Condesce ordered you to put on a show for herself and you refused, sometimes, rather than painting the room in yellow, she would instead call upon this troll.

Fuck, why did that monster have to have flushed feelings for you? It's bad enough to have her stick her cold bulge in you whenever she pleases but she also wants you to fuck yourself with the leechers for her. And if you're too afraid, if you think "▷t0n1ght_12_the_n1ght_where_0ne_0f_the2e_th1ng2_1n21de_me_w1ll_2t1ck_1t2_t00th_0ut_and_2hred_my_1n21de2_and_2hell_ju2t_tell_me_t0_keep_g01ng" and refuse, she can very well just have someone else make it happen anyway.

Thankfully, most times she just gets angry at you and tears you apart herself. You prefer it that way because you still foolishly hope one day she'll fuck up and let you die for real.

So far this wish hasn't been granted.
