12570. Nobody get close to Admiral Gotō's office. Keep the young ones at least one, no make that five blocks away.

~~~~~
Admiral Gotō stood motionless behind his desk and chair, staring at the wall that contained numerous certificates and awards. By Ōyodo's count, he had been in that state for nearly 10 minutes without a single word spoken, and in that 10 minutes, the Private that had been also been standing in front of the desk had constantly been dripping cold sweat, enough to make Ōyodo absently wonder if he was dehydrated by now. However she did not do anything to interfere in this situation, for this was the first time that she saw the Admiral this way. A thick and oppressive aura filled the room and made it difficult to breathe, the silence made it more so. Fortunately the silence was broken.

"Do you know what you have done?" Both Ōyodo and the Private flinched, the voice was low, quiet and carried an undertone of rage that made their hairs stand on end. Despite the sentence being so quiet, it managed to echo throughout the office. The Private, who was either wise or too petrified by fear, did not respond.

"Tell me, Private." This was accompanied by two steps and the rustling of fabric. Ōyodo peeked at the Admiral who was now facing the soldier and very nearly bolted out of the room, only her professionalism or was it perhaps fear kept her in her seat as she jerked her gaze back to her computer. The most striking thing about the Admiral was probably his glowing red eyes that gave off a twisting trail as if it were alive, next to the terrifying sight was the very faint image of something impossibly dark and writhing that looked similar to the aura of shipgirl going Abyssal. A sharp scent filled the air, the Private had a bladder accident.

"Not going to say anything? I'll tell you what you did you sorry excuse of a [CENSORED]. You smuggled questionable material onto base, and all of the [CENSORED] material you could have chosen, it had to be S&M with all the [CENSORED] bells and whistles too. It was clever of you to put a book cover over it to hide it, but why in the [CENSORED] pits of the Abyss did you put it in the [CENSORED] common reading area?! You were very lucky that it was one of the older ships who noticed the book and opened it to take a look. Had it been one of the younger ones..." Ōyodo shuddered, if one of the younger ones had seen the book a bloodbath would have occurred. The Private, to his credit even after having a bladder accident was still standing ramrod straight albeit trembling.

"Dismissed. You will be informed of your punishment within the next few days." With a shaky salute, the soldier turned sharply and all but fled out the door. Ōyodo heaved a sigh of relief as the aura dispersed and she could breathe normally. The Admiral had sunk into his chair and appeared normal.

"Ōyodo, take the day off. Bring me the strongest alcohol you can find. And get the janitor to clean the stain up." Ōyodo numbly nodded and got up to leave the office, as she was closing the door she heard a vent pop open, a person landing on a lap and a soft "Desu" was heard
