Space Station Rationality



I looked in horror at the readouts, then turned to my second in command.

“You just murdered a thousand people!”

“No, I saved seven thousand people, and a few billions dollars worth of tech.” he replied calmly, still tapping away on his control panel. “Hopefully, at least…”

“But… We could have saved…”

“In the thirty seconds before the reactor overloaded? Well I’m all ears, Captain.”

I tried to think of something, but was distracted as the part of the station he had broken off blew up.

“You’ll hang for this!” I told him.

Instead they gave him a fucking medal.
