The simulation ends. Cannon can be seen standing outside of the sim pod.
"Well, that escalated quickly."

[i]"Cannon?[/i] [b]Nathaniel looked over at him, curious [/b] [i]"Hell was that?" [/i]
-
"I got hired to piece together an un winnable situation to test the dojo defenses." He shrugges.
-
[i]"Hired by who? And that was my a damn test. That was near impossible." [/i]
-
"My contractor wishes to remain anonymous. That entire sim was to test what the defensesw ould do in an absolute worst case scenario. So I made the absolute worst case scenario I could think of, and slipped it into the sim like I was told."
-
[i]"Cannon, if this somehow exposes us to attack in the future. I will personally make sure you don't live"[/i] "Nathaniel. Your friend here is a dojo member is he not?" [i]"He is."[/i] "Then show more trust." [b]A new voice spoke. A Musketeer looking man was the one speaking. [/b] [u]"You must forgive Nathaniel here. He's still young." [/u] "Yeah whatever Mom." [u]"Your mother was a wonderful woman who worked extremely hard to raise you. Do not use her name in vain." [/u]

Cannon crosses his arms. "First off, I made the whole simulation up from my own imagination. Second, the man who wants this done would not attack without very, [u][i]very[/i][/u] good reasons. And third, if this somehow compromises the dojo to anyone besides him, I will personally take full responsibility for it and will willingly submit myself to you for whatever punishment is deemed fit."
-
"Good." [u]"Again, you'll have to forgive him. Very young [/u]
-
Cannon nods. "It's fine." [spoiler]pretty sure Cannon is technically younger. He's only been alive for 15-16 years.[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Technicalities. [/spoiler] [b]Nathaniel stalked off, obviously angered at the Sim [/b] [u]"How did we fare?"[/u]
-
"About as well as can be expected. You weren't supposed to win, but imploding the planet was very unexpected."
-
[u]"We always have a backup." [/u]
-
"Wise plan. I hope I didn't tick Nathaniel off to much."
-
"He's to young for war. He'll get over it."
-
Cannon sighs. "Is anyone ever truly ready?"
-
"I wasn't...." [u]"That's an excellent point, Cannon WAS it? I'm Kross by the way." [/u] "Watcher"
-
"Pleasure to meet you. Sorry if I went a bit far with the simulation."
-
"Oh no. Glad I finally got to use that! Been wanting to."
-
"Well, glad you liked it. All honesty, what did you think of my no win scenario? Any ways I could improve it?"
-
"It was pretty no win. Very real."
-
"Good. That was the point, to see how you would react to a no win situation." He rubs the back of his helmet. "The guy that set this up will probably be arriving in a few days, and I'd be thankful if you don't shoot down his ships."
-
"We don't tend to shoot down ships. He'll be alright."
-
"Ok. Just a warning, it's going to be a pretty big ship."
-
"I can personally guarantee that we've seen bigger."
-
"Oh, you have. Still, a dreadnaught has a tendency to scare people. Anyways, I'm should probably reset the sim before some poor soul gets in without knowing what it's set to... Actually, that would be hilarious."
-
"I say leave it for a bit..."
