“Goddamn. For once in my life I put all my chips on RED and don’t roll snake-eyes.”

“That’s not how the game is played, but yeah, how 'bout that, Boss. And if only you hadn’t spent most of this round in the head and left this discovery to the last damned minute, maybe some other scavengers might have had time to take advantage of it, asshole.”

“You know the Scavenger Saying: I snooze, you lose.”

“That’s not how it goes.”

"I guess it is today. Hey, Kass, you primitive DumbOS! I have a slight amendment for ya:

@messana - spelling corrected. Also, I should note that purchases are based on the assumption of well-gotten gains in exchange for the RED.

Browf and Dakota have been in mourning over the loss of Whiskers. They finished Browf’s stash of Whiskey in memoriamI

With a killer head-and-antler-ache, they startle awake, realising that one: they slept through the mission alarm, twice. And for some reason they are in the same bed in some unused quarters of the Coleridge.

Glances are exchanged, words are not said, but clothes are hastily grabbed and a returning to ones quarters is swiftly executed.

What happened there, thought Browf. Dakota is young enough to be my daughter, and she definitely doesn’t see that in me… doesn’t she? I mean, she is a great looking gal, and smart from horns to hoof, but I’m no David Hasselhoof…

Did I… really? I mean Browf is handsome in his own way, but I’ve got to keep this professional… But did we really do… No, it’s not possible. But what if… No. I’ll check the ship video logs… Huh, we were really drunk last night… But… Something’s not right here. No, we weren’t all over each other like this morning suggests we would’ve. And why that room? It wasn’t assigned to either of us, nor anyone at all. Something’s fishy… It doesn’t make sense…

[Meanwhile, back on NeoTarsus…]

Ms. Chaum: “I’ve got the new batch of applications ready for the next…”

Ms. Chum: “I can’t get a single ship to talk to me. We’ve been blacklisted.”

[Startled, the taller human drops her load of clipboards]

Ms. Chaum: “…oh. I suppose that means…”

[The shorter human quickly keys in the access code to the office safe and begins transferring the contents to a satchel: fake passports, bills of lading, ship manifests, travellers cheques, a discreet pair of blasters, and other very useful items.]

Ms. Chaum: “…we’re going with Plan G? Okay, then.”

[The taller human hefts two heavy packs that have been prepared well in advance as the pair head briskly to the exit]

Ms. Chum: “The Jester’s Pride, the Silverskimmer, the Nance…”

Ms. Chaum: “…all top shelf ships, just like the Coleridge.”

[The shorter human mutters to herself as the two flag down an autocab headed to the spaceport]

Well all know that Chum is shark-bait

but how many of you knew that Chaum is a method for breaking up bit-coins into smaller bitcoins?

I’ve got a bad feeling about this.

“Cole? I’ve been taking a closer look at this debris field…”

“That’s normal, Cole - the primary personality construct is coming back online and we have to put you back in the box. Now this debris field…”

“This ‘debris field’ is made of ships, Coleridge. The Happenstance Factory, the Nance, the Silverskimmer, and … dozens of others I don’t recognize. Why did we stop here, Cole? What’s really going on??”

“Cole?”

“Son of a bitch.”
