Apollo jumped up from the seat. “Milk run! Be right back!” Apollo got onto a starfighter and zipped out of the vicinity.
-
“Did he really just go, just to get milk?” Jack said, appalled.
“While you’re at it, pick up some olives, red meat, uh, some vegetarian options, a few cold pizzas, alcohol, orange juice and a few bananas.” Jack told Apollo over the comms.
-
Apollo returned from the milk run, carrying eight packages that were neatly filed. “Ok so in Package 1 we got bags of milk from Estreron! Package 2 contains dairy olives, also from Estreron. I had no idea what you meant by red meat so I took the reddest meat over there!” Apollo lifted a red salmon batch up from package 3. “Alright we also got frozen pizza. Well, it’s not really frozen, it can be heated up instantly.” Apollo took out a pizza and set it ablaze, extinguishing it within 2 minutes. “Eat happy! Oh, yes, the alcohol! I’ve gotten the red fluid inside of thermometers as well as whiskey. All the toiletries like orange juice and bananas are in package 8, dig in.” Apollo looked hopefully at Jack, wishing he had satisfied his needs.Â

Geralt is in the room with the newly organized weapons and armor when Jack walks in holding an old steel revolver as large as his (Jack’s) head. Geralt takes the revolver and looks Jack in the eyes, saying thank you without saying thank you. Geralt keeps sitting on a wooden crate whenever Jack leaves, empty of feelings. No emotion can be seen coming from Geralt.
Emotion, one of the integral elements of being human. Without emotion, we are called insane by those who let emotion drive them. We are called maniacs by those that live to protect the rights of others, without emotion. Emotion makes us human, but does being human make us emotional? No, there may be some of us that live without emotion. Those of us that do have seen, felt too much to expend themselves any further. Those that live without emotion don’t always end up being the ones in society that make society dangerous; sometimes, they’re the ones that understand the nature of the world and go through the motions.
Geralt, being devoid of emotion in this moment, isn’t psychotic, he is simply nearing the end of the line. Unsure of what life will bring, he will try to suppress his emotions and do what must be done.
Geralt’s current inventory:
Automatic Rifle with ammunition
Bolt-Action Rifle with ammunition
Silver Revolver the size of Jack’s head (Geralt will get ammo for this when he gets up)
A jacket with many pockets
Cargo pants with many pockets
Sunglasses
2 frag grenades
2 land mines
No emotions (currently) -

Jack smiled at Apollo.
“Thanks. Can someone go talk to Geralt?” He said, suddenly whispering among the friends around the kitchen.
“He’s all sad cause Rose said she wasn’t into him, I don’t want him being all mopey and doing stupid on the mission, and y’know, he’s a friend.”
-
Apollo flew over to Geralt. “Look, man, I have no experience with this kind of stuff, but some people aren’t just always into others. There is no harm in being friends with her normally. What I suggest is to follow up with the task at hand, which is defeating Midzog. That is impressive, even if you’re just a part of it. In the end, the one you love is going to come to you. No need to go looking, it just needs a little effort.” Apollo took out something wrapped in a thick paper. “Here, I brought you a meal. It’s what Jack calls caribou meat. Enjoy!” Apollo handed Geralt the caribou and patted him on the back. “Stay strong, buddy.”
-
Jack got into the cockpit of the ship, flying to the planet Midzog was on.
“Everyone, suit up! Ody’s leader now, and we’re ready for finding the kids! Let’s go.”
