"Come in."

The door to a dimly-lit office peered open, and a young, handsome man, with brown hair, and hazel eyes, stepped into the room. On a wooden, carefully carved desk, a much older individual lay his legs on top of it, crossing them, and leaning back on his red velvet chair.

Darksire's eyeports glinted from the light in the hallway, reflecting a bit of it back at his visitor. He reeled back his feet, settling to a proper sitting position, and perched his arms in a steeple.

"Close the door behind you."

The handsome man obliged, and shut the door with a loud clack. Darksire coughed, and then looked at his guest, who was now saluting.

"Officer Joseph Cain Junior. I have seen your capabilities over the past years, and I have now decided... to make you my successor."

Joseph stumbled back at first... but then he grinned.

"Ah, it seems you've finally seen how great I am, CEO! I'll be glad to take over the company for you!"

"No, I'm still CEO. However, I don't think I can manage the war industry any longer. I'm promoting you to Grand Admiral, although anything I say takes prominence over yours."

"So, you want to be the man behind the man?"

"No, I just need to make sure you don't get too crazy with your decisions, Joseph. As said, I've been observing."

"And what about it? Have a problem?"

"Like father, like son. You both are crazy."

"..."

"Now, both you and I know the fate of your father, and I'll ask that it doesn't get in the way of your direction of my navy, got that?"

"... Yes, sir."

"Also, I'll be having Delusion D-40 watching you for me. So he'll report back on all your actions."

"Yes, sir."

"And that's it. I'm announcing it tomorrow to the entire company, so you best get some rest, as you'll be making a company-wide debut. Isn't that exciting?"

"Such things are easy for me, sir. Although from now on, I doubt I'll have to call you sir anymore." Joseph sneered. Darksire did not respond, and merely made a shooing motion with his hand. Joseph bowed, and exited the room.

Darksire sighed, and slumped down on his desk, tired from all the work. He tapped a black tablet lying on his desk, and a spherical optic turned around to face him.

"Are preparations complete?"

"Yes. The two ships are fully manufactured and prepared, although we are still debating on a final main weapon for Checkmate."

"While that's good to know, I was asking about the implants."

"Oh, those are not until next week."

"...I see..." And Darksire put his head in his arms.

"I hope I made the right decision with this kid..."
