Cover art by @Jeff_Kapkan on Twitter, this was the piece that inspired the story!

Kapkan is having a bad day, or more accurately, this is the last one in a series of bad days in a row. When questioned about his strange mood by his partner, Kapkan's reaction is not what neither of them expected.

Choose your own ship for the ending! The first chapter is the main action of the story, and the subsequent two chapters are two possible endings depending on which ship you prefer.
